Thanks for sharing that, some great playing! If we are going to mention that song, though, I think we owe a nod to George Harrison for the original version. He was no slouch on guitar and that song is burned into the cultural consciousness.

Eric Clapton played the solo on the original, not George Harrison.

I've seen plenty of interviews wth EC over the years where he's mentioned his favorite or "the best" ... just like everyone else his answer changes daily, lol. I've seen him say Jimi was the best, Stevie Ray, Jeff Beck, Buddy Guy, Jimi Vaughan, Carlos Santana, etc, etc ... and most guitar players tend to have a similar level of inconsistency in their answers, especially over time. What is cool though, is to see how honest and sincere their appreciation is for their idols. I chatted with Eric many years ago, for 20 minutes or so, and his eyes would light up like a child's when we started talking about Jimi, or any of those other guys. He loves them dearly.

I want to give my shout out again to one of my favorite guitarists Hank Marvin of the Shadows.

They were the #1 group (mostly instrumental) in England for several years running in the early 60s before the other more influential bands came along including the Beatles.

He inspired many of the greats including George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Mark Knoppfler.

They ALL wanted to play like him.

Dorky by today's standards (and still is) (and still alive and well in his late 70s) but his playing was perfection. NEVER played a bum note. Just him and his red Strat (I have one just like it). No mixing, dubbing or correction.

I know this is a discussion on FAVORITES not BEST but boy is his playing a joy to listen to.

Check out Wonderful Land and Apache for starters.

I play a very poor cover of many of his songs.

(FYI, Buddy Holly was Hank's main inspiration).

Gotta go with:

- Jerry Reed

- Tommy Emmanuel

- Robben Ford

- Django Reinhart

- Gabriela Quintero

I actually have to add John Frusciante to that list.

1 (tie) Jerry Garcia

1 (tie) Trey Anastasio

2. Andrés Segovia

Thanks for that. I checked both songs out and enjoyed them a lot. It brings me back to the radio of my youth. It really captures a time while being timeless, all at the same time.

Steve Vai

Jason Becker

Paul Gilbert

Marty Friedman

Randy Rhoads

Jake E Lee

Billie Strings

I'm not even into bluegrass, but if this does not blow your mind, nothing will. The scratching and picking at 5:00 and 6:00 is mesmerizing. I've never seen anything like it. Enjoy.

Most of my favorite guitarists are 50+ years old. Who're the most notable up-and-comers? Can any of them compare to this kid?

"I don’t know how to play guitar, but I’ve always wanted to learn. "

Surprisingly Page and Hendrix styles are very easy to learn. In fact if you devote an hour a day you can be impressive within 6 months to a year. Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin - can be learned quickly and is very powerful, especially with a loud electric guitar. The solo is way more difficult but it's mostly in the blues scale. The touch is the most difficult element and this really determines good guitar players from great.
