A lot of good stuff here. Here's Glenn Campbell's fellow Wrecking Crew member, Tommy Tedesco.

I'm surprised Steve Vai isn't here yet.

Friend who passed a while back went across the river from NOLA to sign Prince. Said he was 'miss understood' but extremely talented. Wife hated the Hey Joe song, got angry when I played it. Guy named Segovia(SP?) was pretty good too.

Keaggy's daughter is good too.

I wondered if Andres Segovia or any of the classical guitar players might make the list. I got to see Segovia live once, when he was probably about the same age as in this video. No spring chicken. And that's why there are not a lot of videos of him; he was born in 1893 and died in 1987.


Some all-time classical guitarists would also include Julian Bream, Angel and Pepe Romero, John Williams, Christopher Parkening, David Tannenbaum, and others.

Here's a young classical guitarist named Brandon Acker doing an interesting 20th century Italian piece.


I have strange tastes in music. It's country, classical, hard rock/metal, or it ain't on my MP3 players.

Ox was a bass guitarist (versus a bass player) and deserving of the 'thunderfingers' monicker!

Pete always maintained that The Ox was the lead guitarist in the Who, not himself.

Speaking of overshadowed family members, I'd toss in Nancy Wilson of Heart.

Nobody has mentioned Brian Setzer yet - and the dude is insanely good.

Here he is with a few friends on stage...Eddie Van Halen, David Gilmour, BB King, Les Paul...several more, too.




Hell, I even spotted Waylon Jennings on stage with (I'm pretty sure) Wendy and Lisa from Prince's band "The Revolution"...This is surreal.
