Blakes Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 We could be brothers. Not too many people know that the Original 'Fleetwood Mac' was a straight up blues band. Green replaced Clapton in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers where he played with Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. Shortly thereafter the three would go on to form the nidus of 'Fleetwood Mac' Yeah, you can't beat the early fleetwood mac w/Peter Green. There's something very special about his playing!
bassman Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 ...and Paul kossoff is an amazing and fairly underrated guitarist. Paul Kossoff sadly died very young. Heart attack after much drug abuse. He started the band Back Street Crawler after Free broke up.
Armaniac Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 For me, Johnny Winter is one of the most underrated guitarists of all time. Just an unbelievable tone and feel to his music! Nothing wrong with Jeff Beck either!
Maplepie Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Stevie Ray Vaughan -Best Blues period ! i can get behind that
Carpenter69 Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 Keith, Pete, Stevie Ray. Joe Walsh. Don Felder an amazingly talented guy. Slash, Glen Tipton ,Steve Harris,Mick Mars. I could do this all day, but you guys have already laid out an awesome list. Thanks for the YouTube links. Now I'll get nothing done today. Lol
anthem Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 Another vote for Alex Lifeson, here's one my favorite solos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csLQJtggrZU 2
leftimatic Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Came across an old favourite yesterday in Frank Zappa's "My Guitar wants to kill your mama". I miss great guitar tunes. Anyone else here love great guitar? What are your favourite rock guitar "greats" ? Max Webster in the old days Kim Mitchell these days but mostly the old days "Hangover or Toronto Tontos" to name a few especially if you like Zappa

jazzboypro Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 I might have missed it, but John Petruci from Dream Theater is quite amazing
Blippio Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 You've got to give props to Heart for Barracuda... That opening riff is timeless! 1
madbunny Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Steve Clarke of def leppard the early years
leftimatic Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Just listening to Van Halen's first album the other day. Some great stuff. Took me back to when cruising White Rock was fun.
Habsfan67 Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Would add Gary Moore and Joe Bonamassa.
HiPower Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 An extensive list to be sure. Sadly it is missing one many have never heard of. Rory Gallagher..... from old school R+R to deep blues guitar...
Habanos2000 Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 I'd have to say this is definitely a Guitar Rock Classic!
hoyopr Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 An extensive list to be sure. Sadly it is missing one many have never heard of. Rory Gallagher..... from old school R+R to deep blues guitar... Definitely a great guitar player, he was the opening act followed by Uriah Heep with the head liners being Deep Purple at a show back in the early 70s here. Memorable concert to be sure, thanks for the reminder.
RTcreampuff Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 OK, one more: Scott Henderson: "Dog Party" (...if you manage to get a copy)
Hunter1974 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Good to see no-one posted "Stairway to Heaven" .....it always makes we want to throw up Hard Rock Gentlemen. Pure screaming complicated guitar ;-) Thank god
Hunter1974 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 steve via surfing with an alien old AC/DC , van halen
Habanos2000 Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 One of the most underrated guitarists imo, Alex Lifeson. And don't forget, bassists are guitarists too. The drummer's not too shabby either... 1979 Fast forward to 2011 and they still have the chops. 1
ShortFatHokie Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 One of the most underrated guitarists imo, Alex Lifeson. And don't forget, bassists are guitarists too. The drummer not too shabby either... When I was a teenager, all my friends were bat$hit crazy over Rush. I thought they were OK back then. Now, that I'm older, I think Rush was, and still is, one of the greatest bands of the last 50 years. I've really grown to appreciate their music and listen to them way more now than I did back then.
JohnS Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 I still return to this incredible television performance of Voodoo Child (Slight Return) by the Jimi Hendrix Experience... http://www.eyeneer.com/video/rock/jimi-hendrix/voodoo-chile-a-slight-return
