Your Top 10 Fave Guitarists

[1972Rallye]

Another underrated player is Alex Lifeson from RUSH

He not so much underrated as he is under acknowledged.  If you know Lifeson's playing, you know his subtle brilliance.

BTW, he's in my list on page one (along with a few other great players that have yet to be acknowledged here).

I remember in the early '70s when Steve Howe was concidered one of the all time greats, now he doesn't even rate a mention... I left out a few how about Larry Coryell?.. or Adrian Belew?.. there are also many "session players" who get nary a mention.. Steve Gadd?..
Ray Gomez?.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8L7B5WlyIM
     Bill Conners?.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xp4VYhNUXDY
 Pat Methany?..

I gave thought to putting Steve Howe on my list, but the thread was only for choosing your 10 favorites. I just saw him last year with Yes & he is still great. I've seen Pat Metheny several times, but haven't listened to him in a long time. Adrian Belew is good, saw him many times with King Crimson, & also saw BB King.

If you want to mention session guys, how about Larry Carlton? He was on some Steely Dan albums & I got to see him a few times solo with his own band, really good, too.

Always wanted to see Larry Coryell, but haven't yet. I did see his son, Murali Coryell who is good. The first time I ever heard Larry Coryell was an album with the Brubeck Brothers, probably in the mid 70's.

Another guy who shocked me was Mike Stern when I saw him with Miles Davis.

Also, I went to see a band I liked called "Treat Her Right" when they opened for Joe Ely back in the mid to late 80's. I had no idea who Joe Ely was, but his guitar player was incredible. I'm not 100% sure if I have the right name, but I think it's David Grissom.

howz about Captain Sensible of the dAMMED,... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGWGhkQOobA rare live solo clip...

I saw Mike Stern with Miles and With Sting. kinda' stiff not my Fav. It was just so amazing that A bonafide Jazz player like Miles would have a Stratocaster player on stage with him back in the '80s it simply wasn't done!!!   

You know who's really damn good?.. Dave Crosby's son Raymond who preformed in the band CPR  with him... Nice guy too, met him at a resterant by chance a couple days after we saw them perform here...
