The Allmans, but of course!

My boy Duane plays some beautiful guitar. Almost brings tears to my eyes.

Hi, Bigfish!

If you do know better Guitar- players, than Jimi H., David Gilmour, & Duane Allman... please tell me the names! I'd love to hear them!

The only ones I know who are close are Jeff Beck, Clapton, Alex Lifeson, Alvin Lee, Santana, Randy Rhoads (& maybe Howling Wolf)... But that's about it? Yes, I think my first three are better still than these!

Though: I admit I'm not a huge Zappa, Segovia, Vai, Jerry G. nor McGlochlin fan... at least not as compared to the names above! Is one of these names who you meant? (And have you heard all Gilmours' work? Solo & all Floyd?? His first solo album was killer!)

I often get tears when I hear the brilliance of Duane (& Jimi & Randy & Skynyrd & Pretenders) too, Janie! Truly, mostly the "best die young!")

If you think Steve Vai rates that high then we need not even have the discussion.......Stevie Ray Vaughn gets my vote up there with Clapton, Hendrix, Duane Allman and maybe 1 or 2 others......Santana, Beck and Jimmy Page are there too!

Before you slam me for Stevie.....I have seen him live about 10 times and I have seen Beck, Clapton about a dozen times.....never seen better than Stevie Ray and I have seen many of the best around besides those listed. Stevie Ray Vaughn was on a whole different plateau when he played!

For the record I respect your opinions....this is all about what we like personally when you boil it down.

Oh....and Zappa??? YUCK!
