Featured Replies

Who would be your favorite classic rock guitarest? If you have more than one that's cool :blowbubble:

Mine would be Perter Framton, and that harmonix he does is sick.

Duane Allman from the Allman Brothers, Henry Vestine from Canned Heat, and John Fogerty from CCR.

Frank Zappa, by far the best guitarist, ever.

Tony Iommi hands down.

Hard to argue with Clapton. Had the pleasure of seeing him with Derek Trucks in concert a few years back and it was amazing.

Allen Collins - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Angus Young - AC/DC

David Gilmour - Pink Floyd

I think I saw Joe playing with Clapton on some TV show one time, he's a younger guy but he was awesome!
Carlos Santana

How did I forget Santana? I also like Steve Miller. His godfather was Les Paul so he must be good! :eyebrows:

I'll resist answering with the obligatory Hendrix, Page, Clapton or Duane Allman.

If I want to listen to some modern day guitar virtuosos I'll slip in something by Buckethead or Derek Trucks.

Hendrix is a given, then probably Randy Rhodes. When it comes to bass, Steve Harris from Maiden is at the top of my list.
