Members nwa111 Posted February 25, 2006 Members Share Posted February 25, 2006 If they come from a band, could you post the band name too? I'm looking up new stuff and it's certainly easier unless they played solo. Yesterday I was turned on to Robert Randolph and Sonny Landreth...never heard of them before...

Members zookie Posted February 25, 2006 Members Share Posted February 25, 2006 Richard Thompson, originally in Fairport Convention, is an amazing guitarist. He's revered among other musicians, and his songs are covered by an interesting array of people, but I wouldn't call him a household name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ThumpThumpTwang Posted February 25, 2006 Members Share Posted February 25, 2006 Sonny Landreth I first heard of him on a tribute to Hound Dog Taylor CD. Good stuff. I saw Hubert Sumlin once in a little club in Detroit. He put on a great show. I don't remember off hand who he played with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Owsla Posted February 27, 2006 Members Share Posted February 27, 2006 I don't think that Curt Cobain was very talented at all, and John Lennon was one of the best songwriters ever, but wasn't an astounding player, which is why Harrison, who was an underrated master, was the lead in the Beatles.

Members etvetv2001 Posted February 27, 2006 Members Share Posted February 27, 2006 Jimmie Vaughan? He said "most underrated!" Not "Most overrated!" I've tried to listen to his music, but can't find one single song or tone I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BradPA77 Posted February 28, 2006 Members Share Posted February 28, 2006 John Mayer Ever since "your body is a wonderland" came out he's been branded as a pop singer for love sick teenie boppers, but he can really really really play. He's my favorite guitarist and songwriter. I think people will start to recognize his talents a bit better now that his cd "try" is out. Give it a listen if you don't believe me. He's great.

Members Damon Holland Posted February 28, 2006 Members Share Posted February 28, 2006 Willie Nelson Yes he's a great songwriter but man he can REALLY play. He rips doing his spanish thing on an acoustic. Never really thought much of him as a musician until I caught him on Austin City Limits one day with all the old school guys. Waylon, Christopherson and a few others that I can't remember. Willie just blew me away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said. He is almost as good as Jason from Quixotic Rage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members grpsx1 Posted March 1, 2006 Members Share Posted March 1, 2006 Well nowadays it would have to be Eddie Van Halen.Because of his whoring instincts and the fact that flash is "out", he's not getting his due. Yes I understand that in his hayday he gained some ground in recognition but respect for him has diminished drastically since then.Eddie truley is an innovater in the class of a Jimi Hendrix or a Chuck Berry. A few worth mentioning;Pete Townshend, Frank Zappa, Billy Gibbons and Alvin Lee. Alvin Lee was doing Jimmy Page before Jimmy Page was doing ...um....Jimmy Page.
