They are all good, I didn't claim they were the only great guitarists, just wanted to name a few guitarplayers besides the typical guitar players people are talking about on this board, that is Prince, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Lenny Kravitz etc | |

Graycap23 said: Rowdy said: Yep Was he good. i figure he must have been 2 create such nice gear. Well, from the snippets I've heard he certainly wasn't bad, but his contribution to the guitarist's armoury will always overshadow his merits as a musician, rightly or wrongly. | |

I forgot to mention Jason Becker
http://www.youtube.com/wa...jK978921Yw He was 18 in that clip!! It's really sad to see potential like that, which was never realised. | |

I'm always amazed at people with that kind of talent, resolve and determination! It also reminds me that Larry Carlton had to go through a re-learning, after that shooting... ... " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

I'm guessing Carlton had to learn how to talk again based on where he was shot. Freakin' gangsta knuckleheads.

theAudience said: This performance by Shawn blew me away...I am lucky that I saw him live in Sweden about ten years ago. He had the most amazing technique but this is good example that he had tons of emotion and feel in his playing. RIP Shawn! (the swede Hellborg on bass) | |

Kee Marcello (his real name is Kjell Lövbom actually) is a former guitarist in Europe. I wouldn't call him an all time great but he is definately underrated in my book and is above many lauded rockguitarists.
