Whoaaa, just in time to list mine, I hope:

1 David Gilmour
2 Bonnie Raitt (at least one guitar playing lady must be in there!)
3 Eric Clapton
4 Dave Stewart
5 Carlos Santana

If that's the guitar players done, what about absolute favourite albums? Like the 10 to bring on a deserted island? You might one to have a go at listing them at http://www.h2g2.com/A243686...??

All the best,

SG V

I've been there smiley - smiley

I now declare this place officially closed. Time constraints are kicking in smiley - sadface.
You can still post your top 5 here, just don't expect them to go up for a few weeks. So I guess it's only semi-closed smiley - smiley

To whoever asked: I don't have top 10 guitarists cos if I did the list would get too big and too unwieldy too soon!

1. Django Rheinhart 9sorry if wrong spelling)
2. Mark Knopfler
3. Eric Clapton
4. Jeff Beck
5. Jake Thackray for the way he mixes classical style with jazz chords. http://www.h2g2.com/A249158

Please note that his name is Thackray, NOT Thakeray! He is probably one of the most mispelled musicians since Django!

Jimmy Hendrix - 5 Points
Jimmy Page - 4 Points

And three more that have not been mentioned yet and should have been (heathens!):

Randy Rhoads (& Ozzy Osborne) - 3 Points
Al Anderson (of The Wailers)- 2 Points
Steve Hillage (of Gong fame)- 1 Point.

PS: At the time of writing you've got Dave Gilmour twice (not fair on him really - poor Dave).

PPS: You should be able to give negative points for obvious lack of taste&orsanity e.g. Ronnie James Dio..the very thought..**shudder**.

A slight correction

JD

To the editor/writer of the main article, this is a small correction, but ...

Stevie's last name is misspelled in the article, but correctly spelled the note to which I'm replying. In other words, his name should read: Stevie Ray Vaughan (and not "Vaughen" as in the article). smiley - smiley

Thanks, and stay tuned for my own article on Dick Dale, coming VERY soon.


A slight correction (+ my faves)
