Damn who got me into this U-Tube thing. I 'm goin crazy now. What do you think of Bela Fleck not a guitarist but he could if he wanted. Early New Grass Revival

I saw Stanley at teh Atlanta JAzz Festival, the highlight was him playing stairway to heaven, chords on one neck of a guitar and soloing on another guitar all at once.

You mean like this.....
"If you're arguing with an idiot, make sure he isn't doing the same thing."
"How many notes a second"........if that is how anyone is judgeing a guitar players talent they might want to find another interest! I will take one long and properly bent SRV or Clapton note infused with emotion, feeling and commitment than 1 million of any "speed metal pretenders" notes any day of the week!
Listen to Iron Maiden BF.Not speed metal by any means but Dave Murray,Adrian Smith and Janick Gers make most of the "Greats" look not so great.
One of the best new generation (younger than me,37) guitarists I have seen in years is Zakk Wilde. Played with Ozzy and The Allman Bros. Band. Saw an acoustic show at the Paradise about 5 years ago.
Alvin Lee is on the list.
Blackmore too.
That was a tease. Child in time. Now I have to listen to it.
"Made In Japan" was the first TAPE I ever stole from my father when I was about 12 or 13.
I played the Grooves off that album.......Space Tr#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g off that has to be one of the top ten live recordings ever
Great Album. Smoke O T W has probably one of the most recognized riffs of all time . I also loved DP's "Burn" too. Steve Morse has stood in as guitarist for deep purple for the last few years on tour, although a little below him IMO, but hey you got to pay the bills.

Who said Bela fleck?
Duets is one of my favorites...

Great thread. I am the Fleck lover. I actually prefer his earlier progressive bluegrass stuff with New grass revival at his start and his Tales from the acoustic Planet Cds a few years back and all the studio stuff I can find he has done with all the greats of bluegrass. The flecktones are good, great I should say, but I like the acoustic stuff better.
I have more people but want some others to weigh in. Got to really start to dig deep now to find unmentioned ones now. I think we will need an underrated musicians thread next to cover all the other non guitar underrated people.

How about Leslie West?
Just saw mountain this summer in Newport, w/ corky Lang drumming. great show!

Johnny Winter should be WAY higher than #74.Listen to JOHNNY WINTER CAPTURED LIVE and you will be convince and converted.
Thats embarrassing that Johnny Winter is #74. I think if you polled the guitarists on that list, most of them will talk about Johnny as big influences......if you could, just ask Muddy.
For proof, Johnny took the Bob Dylan tribute/snoozefest and woke everyone up with this . EVERYONE talked about that being one of if not THE highlight of the show.
I agree with everyone who mentioned Junior Brown. I've seen him 7 times and he is SO good. Plus, checkout the guitar/steel guitar or "Guit-steel" he had made and watch him go seemlessly back in forth between the 2........REALLY GOOD!!!!
