UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread

Yes Wolf, Joe Pass was an unparalleled prodigy of the instrument for jazz. Completely organic and effortless.

I have loved and admired many of the great and well known guitarists, but I think that it’s important to realize that because there’s so little room at the top where a player becomes famous, there are many brilliant players that never become known.

One example that comes to mind occurred about 4 years ago. I went to see Chris Isaak I think, and the opening act was Jesse Colin Young. I was expecting a snorefest, but actually, he was excellent with a great band. He had in his band a young Asian guitarist in his twenties that I thought was one of the most technically advanced players I had ever seen in my life...and I’ve seen a lot of the greats.

My point is that many who are famous are great, but many who are great aren’t famous.
