Singers with electric guitar only?
I am looking to listen to some performers who play electric guitar only and sing, since most electric guitar players usually always have some sort of percussionist on hand to back them up. I wanted to look for some artists that don't have any backup. Anyone got any suggestions as to who I should look up? Or can you post some videos.

How about Tuck and Patti, he plays and she sings, without percussion...

To the best of my knowledge Martin Sexton plays a lot with just (what looks to be) his Taylor electric. IMHO he's worth checking out on Youtube.

Billy Bragg
Ray Wylie Hubbard..technically acoustic but has a DeArmond pick up into a fender tweed. Charlie Feathers Sister Rosetta Tharpe Bob Log Lightning Hopkins Neil Young... all the Le Noise album. Kevin Gordon...usually plays with a band but I've seen him solo and there is you tube footage of him. Just off the top of my head. Last edited by draper; 04-03-2014 at 05:32 PM. |

Almost all country singers doing traditional stuff. Merle Travis comes to mind.

Two videos I can think of off the top of my head:
Jeff Buckley covering Hallelujah. Just voice and telecaster: Gavin Rosdale (Bush) playing Woodstock, I think. NOTE: NWFS (language): |

A lot of Jeff Buckley's recorded work is him and electric guitar... certainly, Richard Thompson has done more than a few records where he plays only electric guitar and sings (most times with a band, but not always...).
There was a period where Paul Simon played primarily electric guitar, when he was having problems with his hands and wrists (electric being so much easier to fret notes and chords); however, I will ALWAYS think of Paul as an acoustic guitarist first and foremost... and one of the BEST acoustic guitarist/singer/songwriters of the past 50 years or so...

Roger McGuinn performs many songs solo with just his Rickenbacker electric 12-string.

Sounds like something Matthew Sweet has done.
