Zackerty · Dec 6, 2004

What thinkest you all?
Hard to choose, I know, so I have a few catogories:-

Bass- Paco Pastorius ( King of the Fretless!!

Lead- Carlos Santana/Ritchie Blackmore

Blues/Pop- Mark Knopfler

Group-Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin & Paco de Lucia

I'll add
Rock - Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Eddy VanHalen

I like Les Claypool on Bass.

I don't think I could pick a single fave on lead. Steve Vai, Tony Iommi, Jeff Beck, Clapton... I could go on and on...

Blues would be Stevie Ray... RIP.

John Williams
Chet Atkins

I left off Andres Segovia, 'cause he cannot be beaten by anyone alive today! He is the bestest, and I wonder what he would do with a Parker Fly, if he were around today?
When it came to playing just one note, and getting "the " feeling, nobody does it better than Segovia !

Jimi Hendrix, before he burned out...

arewethereyetdad · Dec 6, 2004

Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana.

Would Peter White matter in the grand scheme of things? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/aaa.gif
