    RIP Mr. Guitar


    One of the best versions of this song.
    Chet turned it into country and western in his 1964 album.

    Tell him that his brother Liam is a dick (but he already knows that)

    I’m surprised that I didn’t list my top 5 - going by favorites only:
    1 - David Gilmour
    2 - Jeff Beck
    3 - Andy Gill
    4 - Brian May
    5 - Kevin Shields

    Slash?!

    also sorry, page by no means can be above Hendrix as subjective as this stuff is lol


    Over the years as my playing has evolved I’ve begun to appreciate Mayer. He deserves a mention in a top list maybe a top 20

    My list a couple years back looks like hasn’t changed much. The shredfest high gain scales up and down doesn’t do it, tasty/melodic phrasing in a clean setting is a must for any top guitarist imo.
