There are a lot of guys here that I have never heard of. Will make it a point to check them out. Surprised no one mentioned Mike Stern. Why do you like playing around with my narrow scope of reality? - Stupify | |

Stern's definitely the Man; I hadn't originally included guys like that because he burst on the scene playing with Billy Cobham and Miles Davis around '79 -80, and I was trying to get a feel for some of the more recent guitarists...but I guess the lists got expanded,  (with guys like Randy Rhoads and The Edge poppin' up)... But Yeah, He and John Scofield are THE smokin axe players.....

But I agree, and I also love his debut, particularly the Mood Swings cut, with Jaco...

paligap said: FalseSetto said: The guitarist from "Go West "
his name escapes me 
Alan Murphy(R.I.P.), who was also a member of the group Level 42 from 1987-until his untimely death in '89... He had also made an album of instrumental jazz fusion with the group SFX in '84: 
Good Lookin out He was like Steve Lukather on Acid/steroids ! "Who gon' clean up all deez Flowers" ----Eddie Murphy as mr. clarence | |

FalseSetto said: Good Lookin out He was like Steve Lukather on Acid/steroids ! Yeah, he was a bad! I remember hearing a Go West tune on the radio called "From Baltimore To Paris", and thinking,Man, who's on guitar? - it's kind of a ballad, so he wasn't playing a million notes, but at the same time, he was very fluid, like Allan Holdsworth-- (interesting that they both ended up in Level 42, if only for a short time....) ...

I'm not a huge fan of guitar music anymore, but I'd say Marc Ribot. | |

(interesting that they both ended up in Level 42, if only for a short time....) Yup...well, not at the same time: Alan Murphy joined in '87, replacing the departing Boon Gould, but after Murphy died in '89 , Allan Holdsworth stepped in for a while and began touring with them, and recorded on part of their '91 album, "Guaranteed". After Holdsworth, guitarist Jakko Jaksyzk joined the band until they disbanded in '93. The revamped Level 42 has Nathan King (Mark King's brother) in the guitar seat... ...

In my opinion, he's an excellent guitarist who doesn't get his due...perhaps because he doesn't play long solos or show off much.  fuck me. all those guitars and no delay pedal in sight. like seeing prince without a linn drum machine. "My bag", I have always been in awe of rhythm playing! GGD | |

I know I'm a little late on this but I had to add someone else..Charlie Singleton from CAMEO. He's another one of my faves and his work on "Candy" and "Back And Forth" is killer. He's another one (like Blackbird) who fused fusion and funk-rock together real well. | |

Indeed. Spy, you can't leave this cat out. He is a rough guitarist and has been with Cameo for years.   | |

Ah, you know it B!! Yes the 1st one is great..I was really let down by his 2nd one. Barely no guitar on it, but Charlie is still my man. You're right Hot Legs, ol' Chuck is ROUGH!! | |

u know what, it's probably not as sorry as Sugarfoot's solo album. Man, look, the Ohio Players are one of my all -time favorite bands and I love Sugarfoot to death. BUT, man, that solo album is SOOORRRYYY! Roger is even on there and STILL that couldn't save that shit. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

SUGARFOOT HAD A SOLO RECORD??!!?? Damn, how did I miss that? I love the Players too. Roger was on it too? Much respect to Roger and may he R.I.P, but that doesn't sound like a good combination (lol). I remember Sugar and Eddie Hazel were gonna tour together as "The New Funkadelics" back in early 92 but I don't think it happened. | |

Sugar and Hazel? Yeah, that would have been killin'. Yeah, on Sugar's lp, he re-did "Fire". That shit was weak, though. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."
