Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: Justa Picker Date: 15 Jan 02 - 10:44 PM BOB, Just click on the link 'Spaw referenced earlier in this thread (thanks 'Spaw!), or you can just go here. You'll need an MP3 player loaded on your system before you can download and hear them through your speakers. I have provided a link on that page as well, to where you can download a free MP3 player. Once you have the MP3 player installed, you just click on any of the song links on the page and they'll start downloading and playing. |

Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: GUEST,Marc Date: 15 Jan 02 - 10:38 PM Pete Townshend, not frequently considered a guitar god, but he can communicate a message on acoustic or electric. And after that performance in NY acouple months ago, I think he's ageing quite gracefully |

Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: 53 Date: 15 Jan 02 - 09:37 AM i'll have to add earl scruggs, randy scruggs, and the late lester flatt, to the list of major players. BOB |

Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: bflat Date: 14 Jan 02 - 11:46 PM A young midwesterner named Willie Porter gets more out of a guitar than I ever thought possible for a folk/blues artist. He is also a gentle man and his music reflects his soul. Love his stuff. Ellen |

Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: 53 Date: 14 Jan 02 - 09:40 PM their are just so many great players it's hard to name them all, but i'm going to keep on thinking and maybe i'll come up with a few more. BOB |

Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: michaelr Date: 14 Jan 02 - 02:25 PM One of the most surprising and original players I've heard lately is Ian Carr. Very unusual, creative approach to tune back-up. Check out his and accordionist Karen Tweed's CD "Fyace" on Compass Records. ~Michael |

Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: 53 Date: 14 Jan 02 - 09:28 AM don rich the guitarist that played with buck owens for so many years is a favorite of mine, i think he got killed in a motorcycle accident in 1974, what a waste. BOB |
|
Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: GUEST,jbruyere Date: 14 Jan 02 - 09:00 AM Of the non-living for unique style of delivery: Django, Les Paul, Jerry Garcia. Of the living, I have too many favorites to listen to,(perhaps Carlos Santana) but for those that own a Martin, I must raise a toast to Doc Watson and Tony Rice. It is a blessing to give the world great music. |

Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: DonMeixner Date: 14 Jan 02 - 12:34 AM James Burton is still a favorite of mine along with Albert Lee. I really enjoyed Robbie Basho years back. I would have to add Kyle Gass from Tenacious D. He has such a fluid rhythymic style that I am envious. I could mention Doc and merle and Norman and Rick but so is everyone else. Don |

Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: 53 Date: 12 Jan 02 - 10:53 PM i know that rick is great. BOB |
|
Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: kendall Date: 12 Jan 02 - 08:39 AM We do tend to take the ones we know personally for granted, dont we? Rick Fielding certainly does belong on my list |

Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: Midchuck Date: 12 Jan 02 - 08:35 AM Norman Blake: The ultimate American (White, Anglo) traditional guitarist - flatpicking, fingerpicking, maybe nose- for all I know. Chris Newman: Ilkley (sp?), Yorkshire. One of the top 50 or so American-style flatpickers for technical ability, probably in the top 20 for musicianship, and one of the two or three in that group who isn't American. And the only one I know who does O'Carolan and them as a regular thing. And cooks a great meal of chicken and noodles. Jack Lawrence: Doc Watson's sidekick of many years. Probably one of the most underrated guitarists around, because he's spent so much time in Doc's shadow. But Doc could have had any guitar player, almost, tour with him, and he chose Jack. Of course, now that he's sold off his Collings, his playing may have suffered a little... (Nyuck, nyuck). Andrew Hardin: Tom Russell's guitar player. Plays a "cardboard" acoustic-electric Takamine by his own choice, and does the most incredible things with it. Get The Long Way Around and listen to "The Angel of Lyon." Peter. |

Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: simon-pierre Date: 12 Jan 02 - 12:03 AM Just to go with my favorites of the moment: Dave Van Ronk (who will always be on the top of my list), Norman Blake, Kelly Joe Phelps, and Michael Jerome Browne (Please go hear some samples hon his home page, you will not loose your time) |

Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: DonMeixner Date: 12 Jan 02 - 12:02 AM Glenn Campbell, Tom Smothers, Dan Crary, Steve Cropper, Mark Chevalier, and my brother Gary. Don |

Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: 53 Date: 11 Jan 02 - 11:58 PM ALL I KNOW ABOUT DOYLE IS THAT HE HAS A SIGNATURE MODEL FOR TAYLOR GUITARS. BOB |
|
Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: richlmo Date: 11 Jan 02 - 11:55 PM Doc Watson and Dan Crary. Just who is this Doyle Dykes? I have just recently downloaded a few of his numbers. Pretty impressive. |

Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: catspaw49 Date: 11 Jan 02 - 11:27 PM Well BOB....You might do well to buy one of Rick's CD's from Folk Legacy and see what you think. Now you might also want to listen to another 'Catter, Justa Picker. More like Justonehelluva' Picker......He was a student of Rick's and they play some together now. Jeri had a great time listening to them. Try "Mudcat Rag" or anything else for that matter on this page. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: uncle bill Date: 11 Jan 02 - 11:11 PM raptor...that song by Chris Smither is "No Love Today" , often called 'the vegetable song'. He does indeed belong on that list also. |

Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: 53 Date: 11 Jan 02 - 06:38 PM has anybody added rick fielding yet? i;ve heard that he's great but i've never had the privelege to hear and see him. BOB |

Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: bigchuck Date: 11 Jan 02 - 07:48 AM Chris Newman, Jodie Stecher, Dean Magraw. |

Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: GUEST,SlowAlan Date: 11 Jan 02 - 07:03 AM Chad Morgan - who does not, even though he could, play with his teeth. |

Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: GUEST,frankie Date: 11 Jan 02 - 06:05 AM John Miller. Now based in Seattle, I believe. Bobert, I'm a fan of tasteful, understated playing but I used to go around the D.C. clubs to hear Gatton play and in his case (and in Jimi Hendrix' case) I say when you've got it, flaunt it. Regards, frankie. |

Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: GUEST,Bald Headed Stepchild Date: 11 Jan 02 - 04:31 AM Lonnie Johnson, and Sylvester Weaver. 'nuff said, if you've listened , you know. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: kendall Date: 10 Jan 02 - 11:05 PM Add Dave Mallett to this list. I like what he does with a guitar.Also, Nikos Apollonio, the luthier, is no slouch on a guitar. For a man who plays both acoustic and electric, I'd have to say, Denny Breau. You may recall that his brother, Lenny, was a world famous jazz guitarist. Chet Atkins once said of Lenny, "He has forgotten more about the guitar than I ever knew." |
|
Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: fat B****rd Date: 10 Jan 02 - 04:21 PM Danny Cedrone, who played the amazing solo on "Rock Around The Clock". The man sadly died not long after. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: 53 Date: 10 Jan 02 - 03:57 PM john prine has a great but simple style of playing and him and nanci griffith sound great together,and i believe that danny gatton is playing guitar in another world now. BOB |

Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: Bobert Date: 10 Jan 02 - 11:55 AM GUEST, grgptrsn: Yeah, John Fahey was a heck of a player. Just real spacey. I don't think he ever knew exactly what was going to come out of his guitar when he sat down to play. I heard him many times because he played in and around the D.C area. I enjoyed his music but some of my friends couldn't stand his music. Also, DANNY GATTON, the "best unknown guitar player" who other guitarists when they were in the D.C. area would try to catch. Now, ol' bobert, appreciated his technical skills but he over played everything he did by trying to showcase all his tricks in every song. |

Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: 53 Date: 10 Jan 02 - 11:02 AM luther perkins, who was the player for johnny cash, before he set himself on fire by smoking in bed, was a favorite of mine, you can hear him on all of the old sunn recordings out of memphis. BOB |

Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: CRANKY YANKEE Date: 10 Jan 02 - 12:43 AM Y'Know, Kendal and curmudgeon, we cranky types have a lot more in common than I thought at first. add, Carlos Montoya Tom Paley Paul Geremia Zeb Turner ( the nashville studio guitarist befor chet Atkins) Chet Atkins Merle Travis Hank Snow me Zeb Turner was the lead guitarist for Elton Britt and Me when we toured Ontario in 1957. He is (or was) the compleat guitarist. He plays Bach (as written) a few of Mozart's piano sonata which he adapted to the guitar, Flamenco, and, in fact,any type of music one can think of. Paul Geremia also plays all kinds of stuff besides blues and ragtime, when we're just hangin' aound jamming. I don't think Lester Flatt originated any Bluegrass runs. Before Bill Monroe pulled old time stuff out of the dust, polished them up and called it "Bluegrass" We "old Farts" were playing the same guitar runs that Lester Flatt Uses. I do not want to give the impression that Lester Flatt is just a good old guitar picker and singer. His and Earl Scruggs' contribution to the development of the "Bluegrass" genre was considerable. They were pioneers, but not in guitar bass runs. |

Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: 53 Date: 09 Jan 02 - 09:44 PM albert lee, and the guy who plays with rhonda vincent, i can't remember his name , but he's a good bluegrass flatpicker. BOB |

Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: 53 Date: 09 Jan 02 - 10:21 AM my son, david atwater, and eddie shaver both are hell of guitar players. BOB |

Subject: RE: BS: who are your favorite guitarists: part 2 From: mooman Date: 09 Jan 02 - 09:52 AM Re: Pink Floyd: could also have been Snowy White, another great guitarist (although was probably David Gilmour) but I'd have to look up the album to be sure. While talking Peter Green (who is a great) we must not forget also Nigel Watson (who now plays with Peter Green in the Splinter Group) who is an excellent interpreter of Robert Johnson's playing. Some other current acoustic guitar favourites include:
Eric Bibb

mooman
