There are people out there just as good as Clapton, Page, Beck, and some of them have labored in obscurity for years. I have a reunion concert video of an obscure European Progressive group, NEKTAR...and their guitarist was AMAZING!Lil ol' me...https://www.blogger.com/profile/05375131775477058146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16751830.post-1154225823818306292006-07-29T19:17:00.000-07:002006-07-29T19:17:00.000-07:00i am a little surprised at the list, but everyone ...i am a little surprised at the list, but everyone has different opinions and i respect that.<BR/><BR/>i don't think Clapton or Nugent were on any mentioned before, but i could be wrong. al dimeola is a good guitarist, and he was definately not mentioned before.<BR/><BR/>some notable no shows:<BR/>Angus Young, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, John Petrucci- some of my favorites.drummaster2001https://www.blogger.com/profile/08589193884537906521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16751830.post-1154072462220004742006-07-28T00:41:00.000-07:002006-07-28T00:41:00.000-07:00I answered Mr. Drum-master with an e-mail...I sent...I answered Mr. Drum-master with an e-mail...I sent him a list of what I think are the five best guitarists...I hope I can remember 'em here...let's see, in no particular order, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Terry Kath (late of Chicago), Ted Nugent, aand Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple.

They work too well...I can be awakened by a woodpecker across the street as he pecks away at the pole. It has happened. But drummers are always situated between amps and speakers. Many was the time when I couldn't hear out of one ear or the other when I got home after a gig.<BR/><BR/>I've hacked away at guitar actually longer than I drummed, so I would be a terrific rhythm player. I have met so many ego-freaks around here; I don't hang out with musicians; I don't like most of them.<BR/><BR/>My musical tastes parallel yours. I don't think the Stones suck, but they are overrated. For me, it all starts with the Beatles.<BR/><BR/>Hiya, Remy...I never scoped out Earth, Wind and Fire, although I like some of their music. I always loved their song "Getaway"...one of the funkiest records I've ever heard. I played it on the radio, back in 1976 when I worked at a small station.Lil ol' me...https://www.blogger.com/profile/05375131775477058146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16751830.post-1153961566886556292006-07-26T17:52:00.000-07:002006-07-26T17:52:00.000-07:00i am a fellow musician- i play drums, guitar, and ...i am a fellow musician- i play drums, guitar, and some bass and piano.<BR/><BR/>drumming is far more rigorous than guitaring. first learning how to play with the kick was painful. one other down side to drumming, you lose hearing far faster than any other musician.<BR/><BR/>all of my experiences in jamming are good. there are never any guitar ego-freaks. <BR/><BR/>to tell you a little about my music taste- the rolling stones suck. AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix Experience kick major ass.drummaster2001https://www.blogger.com/profile/08589193884537906521noreply@blogger.com
