sweet instrument and sound
|
he used to play behind his head, do splits etc. really invented the guitar showman moves that chuck berry and others picked up on. You can hear jazz ideas in his playing, we was pretty sophisticated.
|
hopefully FAR from unknown, but the father of the electric guitar. Charlie Christian. This in 1939 and the guitar was basically a rhythm instrument. this solo is perfect. I learned this note for note years ago.
And you cant forget Goodman for saying F segregation and brining in Charlie and Lionel Hampton, whihc excluded them from playing a lot of gigs. But when you had his stature, you can say screw the system and luckily for us he did. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRfW_0foo_4 |
Here's another guy that doesn't get much notice. My favorite of the newer style players. Met him at a Mesa amp seminar; a genuine guy.:uhuh:

My vote is for Elliott Smith. Very, very underated. Mostly finger picking acoustic. Most of the time it sounds like two guitars, but it is just him. Look him up on youtube. Check out the track "Angeles".
It has taken me years to learn his songs, and I am no where near what he could do. He died a couple years ago. |
I saw Jacob play two weeks ago, this guy can flat out play:kewl:

I can't believe Eric Johnson and Steve Vai were mentioned and no one's brought up Joe Satriani.

Great picks. Both really fantastic but not that unknown to me anyway. |

Nice John. I will say one thing that guy looks nutin like a guitar player.:doh: I would have never guessed he was a musician if I met him on the street. Looks like someones machinist uncle or something.:D |
The best unknown is some guy sitting in his basement playing while he has a day job....

Very nice. I like that style of play. I can remember my uncle taking me into Passim's in Harvard Square many times to see guys like that. He is a big fan of acoustic players. These 4 below are a few of that style. Take a listen to Donald Ross who has been at if a long time and the other 3 are more new comers than he, Andy McKee, Eric Turnbull, Andy Fox. Got lots on MP3, cd if you need some. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TLWz...eature=channel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pbSv...eature=channel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T90EL...eature=channel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJyeRx1gfns |

I got one for you. Been called The Jimi Hendrix of the ukulele. Jake Shimabukuro. What he gets out of 4 strings is awesome. Give it a look.

Always slips under the radar. Here is Roy Buchanan doing a song by another great guitarists. Nice work in the middle of the video. He is well worth listening to.

Since this thread seems to be slowing down I got 2 more greats that fly under the radar. If you have seen Clapton live you have seen Albert Lee as he has been his rhythm guy for a few tours. A Brit playing country. This guy can flat out pick with the best of them . Really like his style and sound. I remember when Stevie Gaines of L. Skynard got great recognition for his style of play . Albert could play circles around him. Not many play smoother than he. Give him a listen.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-T6D...eature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscAZ...eature=related The other is Arlen Roth another fantastic player. Can't beat that Fender sound. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P769t...eature=related |
Not sure if he was mentioned but very talented
Danny Gatton http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfBF4rr7FiA |
Yes he was. He is my first #1 unknown. Fantastic player and unfortunately another suicide like Roy B.
|
|
Nice John. I really like the style, sound, he has today.
|
I dont believe in "best" when it comes to music, but if I was forced to name the greatest electric guitar player of all time, Id say Danny Gatton.
H |
check this good ole boy out, Johnny Hiland, a disciple of Danny Gatton. Amazing style of playing, this stuff blows my mind.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjWmfPdbsco |
that's definitely alright for sure. I also don't believe you can put a best on most things in music as all this stuff is totally personal preference. All these guys are fantastic. They make it all look so easy, never getting stuck or at a lose for an idea.

Have not heard this gentlemans name yet.
Steve Morse of the Dixie Dregs, Dregs,His own band and the lead for Deep Purple the last several years. Seen him up close and personal a few times and always left blown away. He plays for Deep Purple for the $$$ i am sure but this video will show his true genius. His hands are gigantic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIu7U...eature=related |
not unknown but not often heard

I was at that show too. The chick is still all over the music scene. A friend of mine produced one of her last EP's. Band is called Starr Faithful, I believe. Steve had a contest in every city on that tour where you sent in a demo to a local station and he picked a player to join him on stage for a tune. I met him at Daddy's in Warwick the morning of that show. He signed my Ibanez RG560 on the headstock and chatted for a while with us about his rig, tone, etc.. Very cool guy and wayyy out there! I don't recall thinking he was trying to upstage the gal on stage. I remember him saying "seriously, she was the best of everyone, not just because she's a chick!" Then said, "Speaking of chicks, how come no chicks ever come to my shows?". :^) I loved how he opened that show with the wacky glasses that had the spotlights on them and the tricked out axe with all the lights on it. Very selective audience for SV. Mostly a roomful of players at his shows every time I've seen him. |
