One of the many times I saw the Dixie Dregs, later the Dregs, Steve Morse said that if you think he is good then you should hear this kid, Eric Johnson from Texas. He said he is doing things that will impress you. He was right. Great talent and a very individual style.

couple of veterans. Believe it or not I have several of these guys albums and listen to them right along with Ted Nugent



This is how the only person I ever took lessons from played, position guitar. and he got me into looking for players using this guitar style, Pass, Burrell, Martino, etc... I wish I stuck with it but it was hard . If I could do this I would die a happy man. Probably why I most like an educated, music reading, usually studio musician, a la Larry Carlton.
Chords, got to love um. Always luv this tune

Always liked the late Roy Buchanan - here he is with Albert Collins:


"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

Tal is one of my favorites. The hardest part of learning his licks is that his fingers are like 12" long! There is a great documntary available on him. Left NYC in the heyday of jazz and was a sign painter in Jersey. Then he came back from retirement. Have you ever heard the Red Norvo trio? Red on vibes, Tal on guitar and Charles Mingus on bass.
If you like the chord/melody stuff check out George Van Epps.

great talent, sad life. Luv sweet dreams.
Funny how he and danny gatton both with somewhat similar styles, emphasis on somewhat, and mutual admiration committed suicide. Shame

I like all those old timers. Most really good players have Connie Hawkins, Dr. J ,fingers. Just not fair.

man cant believe this is on you tube, here is a real giant this is relatively unkown.
T Bone Walker, your first guitar hero. Led a big band in jump swing blues. Massive influence on BB King, Chuck Berry, Robillard/Roomful of blues. This guy really invented the guitar as a front line instrument and was an awesome player and showman. This is a really hip video.

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.

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.

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 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. I would have never guessed he was a musician if I met him on the street. Looks like someones machinist uncle or something.

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.

So true there are so many great players out there that the masses have never heard. Guys that play for arts sake and not $$$$$$ and the guys that do. Its what is great about music IMO and what keeps the art form moving forward.

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.
