There's no need to prove cred by dropping any legendary names, you know.  Next someone will doubtless say Robert Johnson.

Seeing Prince back in 96 at the Capital Ballroom was without a doubt one of my top 5 concerts I've ever been too!
 
 The line wrapped all the way around the building and now parking lot at Nation to get in. Prince played for 3 1/2 hours! 1/2 hour set included Doug E. Fresh with Prince & Co. as backing band! With Larry Graham on bass they jammed out three Sly and the Family Stone tunes as well. For a four hour show total and with the old setup of the club it was truly awesome!
 
 Prince is just an all around genius of a musician...he's as much of a badass on piano as he is on the guitar!  :)

I don't feel like playing this list game but I do want to include ...
 
 Phil Manzenera (Roxy Music / 801)
 
 Oh yeah, and Dupek, wasn't John Goodsall one of those often session players or with Godley and Cream or Soft Machine or Matching Mole or Brand X? I can't remember and don't feel like researching now. I definitely know his name from some earlier works. Might have worked with Brian Eno or King Crimson.
Title: Re: Top 'Fave Five' Guitarists
Post by: on December 04, 2003, 01:27:00 am
Jag: Yes, yes & YES!
 -----
 I should add a coda to the list: Besides no legends, No stiffs either.
 
 Anyone who said Hendrix/Gatton/Bronson/Chunders go to the end of the line.

I would choose classical guitarists:

 Andres Segovia
 Kazuhito Yamashita
 Manuel Barrueco
 Jozsef Eotvos
 Try Eotvos playing Goldberg Variation 1 (http://mitglied.lycos.de/attacca/var1.mp2)

He's still with us, although his brother is no longer in the band (due, in part, to the smack).

Can't believe I forgot Manzanera and Alomar, two all-time favorites. I like Chris Spedding, Mick Taylor and Link Wray too. Not to mention DC's other late guitar hero, Roy Buchanan. Five is not enough!
