Guitar playing is so much more than just technical skill. It’s also sound and energy. Neil has all of it and then some. The greats are always very distinctive, regardless (to a large degree) of the guitar they pickup. Willie Nelson playing Johnny Cash’ guitar on VH1 Storytellers ,after he broke strings on his guitar, first comes to mind for me.
Neil Young - Guitarist
We all know Neil for his outstanding songwriting skills and some may even recognize his talents with a guitar but is he underrated? in 2015 Rolling Stone ranked him as number 17 of 100 greatest guitarists of all time. Can anyone pull more raw emotion out of a guitar than Neil?
