Jeff Beck...both guitarists from Dragonforce they do a f*****g awesome duelling solo but cant remember the song or their names. malsteem...Eric Bell, Buddy Guy, Ron Wood, Brian Robertson, Steve Morse, BB King, Paul Kossof, Mick Ralphs, Joe Walsh, Dave Gilmore, Lyndsay Buckingham....the list is endless...and thats only blues and rock. :notworthy:

Now either you and Paul L are very old or have great taste! Kossof,Ralphs -something very haunting about the Free /Bad Co sound at times. Again Eric Bell ,the Gorham/Robinson partnership when it was on form was distinctive .Moore might have been a better technician but there was something too clinical,too "standard guitar hero poses 1,2 and 3" about his Lizzy stuff. Peter green .I saw him supporting one of the great n famous guitarists a few years back. Mr Great n Famous did'nt miss a note ,brilliant dislplay but, Oh so boring. Cocky sod ended with ",I shall be giving autograghs backstage later !." Ole Pete gets wheeled on with his supporting (literally) band of greybeards. He bummed notes ,but ..he gave a performance that left several of us saying ."It makes no sense but this has been one of the best concerts we've been to".

Then of course Fast Eddy has a lot to answer for when it comes to deafness in the middle-aged!

Angus Young for me everytime! I Followed this band since I was a kid when Bob Scott was their singer and still love them. Angus Guitar solo's still makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck :drink:...

Have people really suggested Paul Weller + John Squire?????? Can only assume they're die-hard Mancs or they've been smoking too much!! :whistling:

While you're at it why not give Francis Chuffin Rossi a shout!! Takes all sorts I suppose! :icon_eek::boogie::boogie:

 

In my opinion (ooh this long-hand typing is hard work!! :thumbs: )............for spine-tingling soulful making their instrument sing kind of stuff I'd have to go for........Ritchie Blackmore, Angus Young, Gary Moore et al.

But for the technical twiddly stuff it would have to be a heads-up one on one fret-wa*k-off between Steve Vai (seen the duel with the devil in Crossroads?) and Tony McAlpine.

That Jap lad on the Youtube clip someones posted can't half bash one out too!!

If only for the fact he was blind that lad who plays on his lap too, can't remember his name.......anyone? :hmm::hmm:

Spot on mate there is plenty of technically gifted players out there but they lack something....some of these old school guy's play with their heart and soul and it translates through their playing....Joe Perry from aerosmith can be sloppy at times but he know's how to rock out a solo....Peter Green should be knighted in my opinion phenominal player.....Michael Schenker is also good....and Richard Thompson could bring a tear to a glass eye....Think folk have covered most of the others...Oh! Ted Nugent mad as a hatter but fantastic guitar player.....Johnny Marr or John Squire couldn't lace these guy's boots.

Does it have to be lead guitar ? if not i think John Entwhistle could make a bass sing

 

Yeah Bass players are a different breed....some good one's Gene simmon's from Kiss could slap a mean bass....the bass player from Metallica is just plain scary looking (Not Jason Newell) and is everthing a bass player should be in my book....lol

Kay's opened up a whole different kettle of worms!!

For bass players I'd have to say Cliff Burton (is that who you meant undisputed?) Pulling Teeth (Anaesthesia) on Master Of Puppets is a work of genius........RIP Cliff.

Sureshot.........did you take that pic? Absolute belter mate! :clapper:
