Bob Welch

I don't win!

How do you figure?

Bob Welch isn't fit to shine Peter Greene's shoes. Or Lindsay Buckingham's for that matter.

Mike Cambell...the Heartbreakers....if you ever see him live you'll know what I mean. also, he has concocted some of the best riffs in rock. Ex: Breakdown, Boys of Summer (which he wrote for Henely and played most of the instruments, btw), The Waiting, Running Down a Dream...the list goes on!

Campbell is extremely underrated.

So we all agree that I should edit Esmer's post to say he doesn't win.

Absotively.

Wow! I am pleased to see that someone even KNOWS who MC is!

Gotta agree with sgtnull and Cail about Vernon Reid.

Very different kinda player.

Another under-rated one IMHO is James Mankey out of Concrete Blonde. I read somewhere years ago that he used to use the fleshy part of his right thumb to pick notes, and I can't believe he got such a great tone by doing that, although I've also heard that Jeff Beck does something similar.

Three Words: Atomic. Lead. Machine.

Seen him in concert (and puked on the side of the stage--I was having a really good time that night

) and shook his hand in Greenwich Village. Y'all know I'm a major Traffic-head so I dearly love this guy.

This guy has my favorite quote of all time:

Well, ten pages of Guitar-Gods and not one post mentioning Keith Richards (or so I believe), so I'll put him up there with the rest of them, not the fastest or the most technically driven but has his own inimitable style besides beeing a composer of a hell of a lot of songs, an icon...and while I'm into blues I go for Buddy Guy, a hell of a guitarist with the fattest sound on earth, just listen to Sweet Tea...Muddy Waters, great guitarplayer too...and from blues to blues...Nick Drake, one of the greatest, only three albums in a very mellow folk tradition (he took his own life at 24), but the songs, his voice, and his playing!

But I'd still go for Jimi as No 1 and Eletric Ladyland as his masterpiece!

yes i agree entirely

Dougie Maclean......

I don't know if he's a guitar god , but his lyrics make me cry on a regular basis, especially Caledonia. Hoot Mon!

Start to think about it several cool guitarplayers come to mind; James Williamson for instance, played with Iggy And The Stooges on the ultracool and heavy Raw Power, the only album he made(almost), now there's some heavy riffing! A Les Paul Custom straight into a Marshall stack, nothing more...perfect...

Kurt Cobain actually is in his own way very experimental, the same way Colin Greenwood is of Radiohead (or was it his brother?), creating strange sounds, controlling feedback, much noise and definitively influential...[/img]

his brother, Johnny. Colin plays bass.

So it was! OK Computer is a great album...and one of the saddest. Exit music (for a film): one of the saddest songs ever written(another thread)...
