Amazing list of guitarists....can I add a couple more to this list? I agree with all of these, however, you missed some.

Absolutely Michael...please do...

Rory Gallagher, Brian May, Rick Derringer, Larry Carlton, and Billy Gibbons. I have no problem posting examples of why I think they should be added to the list. Actually it would be fun to do that! 

Just face palmed myself...........Mr Jeff Beck #1

He is really an insane guitar player. Working out such things at the moment myself ?

Yes he is...I really like the way he did an instrumental version of Cream's white room...

What do you guys think about Uli?

In my opinion he's the father of shred...just look at the song Sails of Charon when he was with the Scorpions...no one was playing like that in the mid to late 70's except maybe EVH or someone who was not that well known...

I was sold on Uli when the In Trance album came out. The live album was killer!

Yes love that album!...have you heard Uli's live album that came out a few years ago? Scorpions revisited?...Uli is still going strong!

Uli has not missed a step!

Definitely not..I believe he eats very healthy and takes good care of himself...I need to have better discipline with my eating ?

 

Omg ? close your eyes and let Michael take you to another place................happy place  

Thanks Mike ...I needed that!

Awesome playing from Michael..he  is definitely one of the most melodic players..

Thanks for those many names of guitarists ? Most of them I know - i want to share 2 missing which influenced me a lot.

Hi HP,

I'm Familiar with Jeff Healy..awesome guitarist who is blind and plays the guitar like a table top steel guitar. Paco I'm not familiar with. I'll have to check him out. Are you familiar with Johnny Lang?.Great blues guitar player.

Funny, but now everytime I pick up a guitar I'm jamming the Rock Bottom lick. It is a good practice lick!
