peeriebryan Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Charlie Christian - trailblazing bebop-er. Played horn like lead lines when most other guitarists were comping on chords Grant Green - Count Basie's long serving guitarist. Revelutionised the role of guitar in modern music Wes Montgomery - this guy could swing! Jim Hall - One of the most prolific jazzers. Still on the go after a 65 year career Herb Ellis - I think his best period was a 1953 to 1958 stint with the Oscar Peterson Trio Pat Metheny - A modern master of jazz influenced guitar. Bright Size Life is an amazing trio album, with Jaco Pastorius on bass guitar As for local guitarists, Inness Thompson (of Fair Isle, now Glasgow) is a funky mo-fo! The best funk guitarist I have ever played with That'll do fur noo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristopherWilliamThomson Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Erm, Peerie Willy Johnson. Mr. Bullet, I listened to Dream Theater.

Seggie Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Has anyone heard Kelly Joe Phelps, amazing blues guitarist, great singer as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaflech Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 What about Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson from enduring Canadian rock outfit RUSH? And the drummer Neil Peart is surely one of the best in the world (but thats a different thread) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamnSaxon Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Many already mentioned - Django Reinhardt, Chet Atkins, Robert Thompson & the other bluesmen, Julian Bream ... Frank Zappa must be on the list (& not just as support for Vai!). John Williams is v-e-r-y nearly as good as Julian Bream. Paco Pena plays truly astonishing flamenco guitar, and there's a whole scene there to explore. Johnny Winter definitely had his moments.
