Axe-man suggestions

[m20gull]

Came in from work, flicked on the ipod and Joe Bonnamassa came blaring out. I soon exhausted my supply of top guitarists; any suggestions?

Ritchie Blackmore, gives you plenty of choice.

Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Young American - the next big thing I tells ya!

[Norman Potting]

Wilko Johnson.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Ry Cooder, Duane Allman, Carlos santana, Steve Hillage, Ali Farka Toure, Django Reinhardt..... but none of these are particularly noisy

That's OK. I wasn't particularly after noise, just quality.

 

[Mancgull]

Jimi Hendrix by a mile

Peter Green - as in the original Fleetwood Mac. was held by some as the best Blues guitarist of his generation - above Clapton. This track came up on another thread on here as some people's suggestion as "the best Song ever written"

John Petrucci, Joe Satriani, Alex Lifeson, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, Van Halen, David Gilmour, Vinnie Moore.

Gary Moore if blues is your thing.

 

[Dover]

......or Oli Brown if blues is your thing. Fantastic young British player.

I can't disagree with what you have had already but here are three you haven't had yet: Robert Fripp, Vini Reilly and Rory Gallagher, all wonderful and all very different (wait until you hear some Frippertronics!)

 

[catfish]

Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Young American - the next big thing I tells ya!

He's superb - in the same league as Bonamassa.

 

[catfish]

A couple of really promising young 'uns to check out - Mitch Laddie and Virgil McMahon.

 

[Smith DID score]

Gary Moore if blues is your thing.

Any Gary Moore not Just his Blues is awesome.

Angus Young , Dave Gilmour , Micheal Schenker ..........................

The only trouble with this is , I saw an AC/DC tribute band at the Concorde , and their Angus character pretty much matched the great man himself. So I will add the bloke from Dirty DC as well.

Also Vim Fuego from Bad News

He could play Stairway To heaven when he was 17...............................Jimmy Page didn't write it until he was 22!

 

[whitelion]

Robin Trower, Nils Lofgren, Ted Nugent etc. etc.........
