Members Stackabones Posted June 2, 2008 Members Share Posted June 2, 2008 It kinda goes without saying ...Steve Cropper. Some might know Cornell Dupree. Of course, most of these players in this style are heavy rhythm masters ... so they sometimes get a bit overlooked by the idolaters of finger wigglers. Whaddya know?

Members csm Posted June 2, 2008 Members Share Posted June 2, 2008 Jimmy Nolen and Catfish Collins, who between them played most of the great 60s/early 70S James Brown funk rhythm guitar parts. And Nile Rodgers, who picked up the gauntlet and laid down the hippest chops with Chic. Just one more name: Bobby ... WOMACK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, most of these players in this style are heavy rhythm masters ... so they sometimes get a bit overlooked by the idolaters of finger wigglers. Whaddya know? Yer! Those guys and the others (Curtis, Womack, etc.) really bring the soul. I love playing that stuff. Let's not leave out Reggie Young. I think Pops Staples sort of finds his way into this group albeit from a gospel/bluesy angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Funkwire Posted June 3, 2008 Members Share Posted June 3, 2008 Cliff White--played on almost everything Sam Cooke did. Robert Hunter, Joe Messina, Eddie Willis--the Motown guitar players. ...and let's not forget the man who said: "A lot of cats can play lead, but the real important thing is the rhythm"--Jimi Allen Hendrix!

Members Electric Catfish Posted June 3, 2008 Members Share Posted June 3, 2008 Cliff White--played on almost everything Sam Cooke did. Robert Hunter, Joe Messina, Eddie Willis--the Motown guitar players. ...and let's not forget the man who said: "A lot of cats can play lead, but the real important thing is the rhythm"--Jimi Allen Hendrix! Is Jimi Allen Hendrix any relation to James Marshall Hendrix? How about Ernie Isley? Lou-Dog, that's Freddie Stone (I just looked over Red Ant's list, and he listed him, actually). Who was the other Muscle Shoals guitarist? We've got Duane and Jimmy Johnson, but there was a third who isn't popping into my head, at the moment.
