6 pages and no-ones mentioned Ritchie Blackmore yet? (by name, someone did name a track) especially from the Made In Japan set.

Shit I foargot about him in my last post. Got RAINBOW RISING. Trying to get of copy of Deep Purple's PERFECT STRANGERS.

Someone said in another post he's playing folk music. Anyone know for sure.

Anyone know who the guiterist is from Hawkwind. Have a couple of their albums. IN SEARCH OF SPACE and DOREMI FASOL LATIDO.

I saw Deep Purple live april last year, when they played smoke on the water the whole place just fucking erupted it was amazing

[hXc]

Any solo done by:

Kirk Hammet
Eric Clapton
Carlos Santana
Jimmy Page
Joe Satrani (taught Kirk Hammet how to play guitar...)
Slash...
Brian May
Jimmy Hendrix

Im sure there is many others

Kirk Hammet can't read music and is self taught!!!

[James Deuce]

Tom Morello anyone?

I had a quick read through and didn't see (although I could well have missed it) someone who should be on here, angus young from ac/dc. Thunderstruck, man that is such a good effort, even though its not complicated keeping that up for the whole length of the song is amazing. He does some very nice work in alot of their other songs too.

Also rate slash from G&R, rate alot of their songs highly aswell. Jimmy Page is another one that needs mention. Although all of these guys are before my time, so haven't really heard of any other old skool guys.

Another multi talented guy is Dave Grohl (Nirvana drummer, Foo Fighters lead singer/guitarist and various other appearances), damn good singer/songwriter and foo fighters are mint as.

Ah good old Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave. That guy is nuts on an axe. SOUL POWER

[What?]

6 pages and no-ones mentioned Ritchie Blackmore yet? (by name, someone did name a track) especially from the Made In Japan set.

Nor has anyone mentioned Tommy Bolin or Steve Morse, both of whom have featured in the DP line-up.
Then there's Rory Gallagher, Robin Trower, Les Paul, Hank Marvin, Eddie van Halen...

As for Richie (without a "t", coz that's how he spells it) Blackmore, there are way, way better examples of his virtuosity than what is on Made in Japan (good though it is)

Skyrider - These days Richie Blackmore is playing largely acoustic medievil-inspired folky sort of stuff. Band name is Blackmore's Night.

Kirk Hammet can't read music

He must be very proud lol

-Indy

[James Deuce]

Ben Harper
Les Claypool
Tony Levin
Frank Gambale
Scott Henderson
Victor Wooten
Larry Coryell
Robben Ford
Another Violinist for you Violin freaks is Boyd Tinsley
John Schofield
Charlie Hunter

Those guys can all solo like crazy. In ways that would leave Slash wondering why he took up guitar.

Smart Ass. I just take notice of music stuff as I am a musician myself and I find it of interest to me.

[hXc]

Oh, not a guitarist but without his invention rock music would suck...Jim Marshall. And Les Paul and Leo Fender are also legends to the guitar world

[Indiana_Jones]

Man, all this talk about music
Not much of it i like though. Orchestra and Piano are my fav

Yep and also produced the whole first foo fighters album by himself (played every instrument etc) and also has appeared for queens of the stoneage and tenatious d on their albums (not in latest queens of stonage album), I'm sure he has done others aswell. Would rate him as one of the most versatile and talented rock musicans in the world currently.
