(Mahavishnu Orchestra) STEVE HOWE. (Yes) ROBIN TROWER. (Robin Trower Band. He was a British Jimmy Hendrix.) RITCHIE BLACKMORE. (Deep Purple.) Check em out on Youtube Also as a classical player. The late, great JULIAN BREAM was an incredibly gifted player. The world's greatest classical guitar and Renaissance Lute player. His performances were just beautiful to experience in music.

BOLIO1 1,078 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Surprised that in a guitar thread nobody has mentioned "Mr Guitar", reputedly the most recorded instrumentalist musician in the world, having worked as a session musician for Hank Williams and Elvis Presley in the early years and produced acts like the Everely Brothers, Emmylou Harris etc. when he was head of RCA records...........the man who invented the Nashville sound, ladies and gentlemen.....Mr Chester "Chet" Burton Atkins...... http://youtu.be/YegKYn5yeKM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BOLIO1 1,078 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Sadly Chet passed away about 2001 but not before passing the crown on....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BOLIO1 1,078 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Chet was such a fan of Merle Travis, the head of Capital records at the time, that he named his daughter after him.....Merle! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
