Did no-one mention Big Jim Sullivan?

Saw him down a little Fishersgate pub a few months back, The Stanley Arms.
He still plays around Sussex a lot.

Randy Holden - officially the "greatest guitarist you've never heard of". Could have been big if he hadn't passed up a chance to join the Yardbirds. Instead he ended up playing in forgotten (and rightly so) groups like The Other Half and Blue Cheer.

But by turning his amplifiers up to 11 in the mid-60s, he arguably/allegedly influenced the heavy blues of both Hendrix and Cream, and was playing doom laden metal riffs three years before Black Sabbath 'invented' them.

What about Richard Marx? Why is he not on that list??

NMH, Richard Marx is not a guitarist. I NEVER said Richard Marx was a great guitarist. I said the kid is a great guitarist who happens to be playing a Richard Marx tune, which I think is a great tune. Take or it leave it. Is that clear to you or shall I explain it again ?

Duane Allman is a great shout and his replacement Dicky Betts

Also Ernie Isley ( witness the guitar solo on Summer Breeze and Whose That Lady)

Jan Akkerman is one of the better of the players I've witnessed, saw him with Focus at Reading around '75or'76 and he was outrageous.

But here he's awed jamming with Paco de Lucia

Kinda brought a tear to my eye, I have to confess

I saw Focus at Hammersmith in 1976 and Brixton in 1977 ( hamburger Concerto tour I think it was)

Akkerman was/is a superb guitarist and one of them "pure sound" type instrumentalists.

 

[NMH]

It couldn't be helped - another dose of Jan Akkerman's what the doctor ordered this morning;

He wasn't bothered about avoiding commercialism, in favour of furthering his art. I just picked up a minty copy of 'Mother Focus' the other day, and it's a step away from the heavy prog he was playing before. His solo material presents baroque instruments and styles, and as you can see from the video above - he's still 'got it'!
