Yeah, loved Randy Rhoads. Blizzard of Oz is an all time classic IMO.

Herb Ellis, Barney Kessel, Charlie Christian, Gabor Szabo, Jim Hall, Joe Pass, Mundell Lowe, Kenny Burrell, Johnny Smith - These were my guitar heroes when I was in high school and I still love listening to their records.
I'm also a fan of Amos Garrett, Roy Buchanan, Duane Allman and Mike Bloomfield.

One of the best classic metal albums for sure. The Tribute Album was amazing too. Randy's last day in that plane crash was tragic and very unavoidable. |

Though it is worth remembering that back in the day, Danny Kirwan played some of the things that people reflexively attribute to Green. Green has always been a collaborative guy. That is one reason why they called the band Fleetwood Mac in the first place. (Heck of a trivia question, may be the only example I can think of where a band was named for a guy who was not even a member yet when they first started out, John McVie being still in the Bluesbreakers). |

Well, as to the different versions of Green Manalishi, the thing about that one is it was literally Green's nightmare. He wrote it after a nightmare (or a bad trip, perhaps). To me, when you listen to the Mac version you are listening to a man actually in the process of becoming undone. JP are covering that, and have to simulate it. It was Green's lived experience. He was genuinely on the brink.

Here’s a nice example of the Touch of Grey solo by John Mayer and by Jerry. 2:19 here’s john https://youtu.be/iRMWU8Ujr0U 2:23 Jerry. John's is not bad but Jerry is very nice. https://youtu.be/0ZmR-T0jilA

Bernie Leadon - one of the cleanest, melodic Telecaster guys. I think the reason he doesn't get the recognition as much as others is that he wasn't allowed to improvise live when with the Eagles, but all of his studio work was well thought out and tasty. Glenn Frey once called him, 'the best country guitarist in the world.'
Also, being versatile usually doesn't play well in the 'greatest' lists. Bernie played banjo, mandolin, pedal steel, dobro, acoustic & electric guitars. Don Henley said that when the Eagles got started, Bernie was the most important member because of his experience, and because he taught them all how to sing great harmonies. John Jorgenson - another incredible electric guitarist. A true musician's musician. He plays about 12 instruments (guitars, mandolin, clarinet, etc) so he is burdened with the versatility thing as well. Highly respected in the industry and a great picker. Can play a lot of styles not just well, but great. I can't play like either of these guys, don't play electric at all (although that's gonna change soon), but have great tremendous respect for Leadon and Jorgenson. And the best one/two punch in electric guitars these days is Marty Stuart and Kenny Vaughan. |

James Hetfield of Metallica is an amazing rhythm guitarist. He can play incredibly fast, tight downstroking and complicated riffs and still sing. I didn't realize in the '80s how great he was but over the past 10 years I've gained a great appreciation and influence.

I'm gonna join in to praise John Jorgenson. I came across him years ago when he played on albums with Roger McGuinn and Mary Chapin Carpenter. He was in Elton John's band for a few years more recently, and my buddy is into Gypsy Jazz and Jorgenson is a master of that style. There's nothing he can't play, with taste, restraint and always for the song.
I agree with Mr Bill about Marty Stuart and Kenny Vaughan as well. Apparently Kenny's guitar teacher was Bill Frissell. |

And you are absolutely right about him playing with taste and restraint. The songs the thing, and he enhances every one he's ever played on. From his website I found out he's involved in five bands right now. Now I gotta look up Bill Frissell and find out more about him. |
