It was mainly Slash and Frank Hannon (Tesla).
When the Appetite for Destruction came out I learnt from the tabs all guitar parts from this album. Which was a curse and a blessing because I can't unlearn these Slash's licks in my improvisations now. I loved Tesla guitarists' more melodic approach to solos as well. They played fast enough for me to be impressed by it but not too fast to loose clarity and sense of direction where the melody was going. |

Marley, Uncle Jerry is ne of the few guitarists whose sound grew as the band progressed. From the Guild guitar on the first album to the SG on Live Dead, The Strat Europe ‘72, the Travis Bean years into a Boogie, and the Wolf, Tiger, and Top Hat years with a Twin pre amp into Mac 2300 and JBLS, Jerry’s playing became more inventive and inspiring to me.
His playing is one of my most powerful and important influences. He was influenced by both Don Rich and Roy Nichols around 1970.

I’d never in a month of Sundays describe myself as a ‘Deadhead’, but I’ve heard, and loved, lots of their music over the years. Garcia was one of a kind.
In particular, among many examples, the solo on the album version of Touch of Grey remains one of the most joyously lyrical pieces of guitar playing that it has ever been my pleasure to hear.

Never really a Dead Head per se. either ( the first album is the only one I ever owned) None the less in all fairness seems to me to credit Jerry Garcia is to also credit Bob Weir.
To my mind the "Dead Sound" was very much the cumulative juxtaposition of Weirs incredible expansive and diverse chord progressions rhythm playing that gave experimental license that Jerry was able to play over, and that combination was, in my mind the signature of the Dead.

For me, Peter Green is my favorite. But I love Spencer and Kirwan too.
That said, my favorite guitar line up is Clapton and Winwood. When those guys get together, it is just magic. |

Another thing about Jerry that does not get mentioned too much is how much of a fun loving guy he was. Smiling so much, laughing a ton with that great laugh of his. Never taking himself too seriously. He'd be willing to dress up and act goofy in situations where many people who take themselves way too seriously would never do. But in the end just that smile and that LAUGH! Interviewers had to love him because he was such a fun loving guy and not difficult. Now, if you tried to get him to quit using, he could get grumpy fast but the guy had a serious addiction which we all know just grips people. Jerry was also into scuba diving, as am I. I love seeing the videos of him diving and so happy.

Jerry
Here is a photo from the Dead's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Jerry refused and/or couldn't attend in person. He died the following year.
Jerry just wanted to play, and it is a shame his career was shorter than it had to be. The man never ceased to amaze me, and probably never will. RIP Jerry!

My favorites are Ry Cooder and Lightnin' Hopkins.
I first saw Hopkins in 1969 and Cooder in 1970. I was young and impressionable. My thoughts at the time were, "That's how I want to play!" Cooder is still producing great tunes after all these years. I can't afford a D-45 like Ry's, but I've been playing a J-50 like Hopkin's for years. Mark |

Ry Cooder's work on John Hiatt's Bring the Family is just sublime.
I want this played at my funeral.

"I really had to bring my A-game to the studio," he said, "because Stevie is such a great player." I think their dueling solos in "Had To Cry Today" are absolutely amazing.

Of course, that was far from the only guitar he played, in studio and otherwise. Green is like chasing a ghost to me, or a mirage. His lines are, in theory, well within my ability to play. Not a lot of hard fingerings or blistering phrases. But its all in the touch! He had such a wonderful touch. (I know he is still alive, but I saw him and the Splinter Group quite a while back, and he was not really the same guitarist.) |
