how 'bout Roy Clark ??
"Under the Double Eagle"..or (lookout below) :rofl:

Yes! Amazing guitarist! Almost worth atching Hee Haw for...almost. The guy's got lightening fingers. Buck Owens was no slouch either.

 

[snaxforgandhi]

How could i forget..

Junior Brown!!!

He is the Jimi Hendrix of twang. I've never seen anything like him. Jaw dropping.

watch as he effortlessly switches from his regular guitar neck to his steel guitar (double neck) in mid song..

Couldn't agree more. And your description of him as the "Jimi Hendrix of twang" is spot on! I couldn't get the link to work, was it "My Wife Thinks You're Dead?"

I feel like I just entered a time capsul

how'bout some Ventures.. apache'65 or walk don't run

I already had "Walk Don't Run" but I didn't connect "Apache '65" with the Ventures right away . I always think of the Arrows (Davie Allen?). Jorgen Ingmann also did a slower version. Oddly (to me) is that Allen's cover sounds more "Ventures-ey" than the Ventures.

Anyway, great picks!

very sorry, i forgot to add that you have to change the 'xx' in 'hxxp' to 'tt's: 'http'

It's his song 'I Hung It Up'. Classic Junior.
I was gonna post a link to 'Sugar Foot Rag' where he belts out an old country dittie layered with Hendrix riffs. Amaaazing

I go see him live everytime he comes through town and he's always fantastic! (and odd as can be)

 

[dman1234]

if ya wanna talk accoustic guitar check out

Tesla
love song

especially the version with the long intro.

 

[dirtyolsouth]

Jeff Beck. Cause we've ended as lovers

THANK you monkeybusiness...

Thank GOD somebody mentioned Jeff Beck... I didn't read the rules but I was gonna post Jeff Beck 'Blow by Blow' as the consumate guitar record in my lifetime... a master's master... a guitar player's guitar player... someone who throws away all the rules and shows what the instrument is truly capable of...

Jeff Beck is my deity...

I've seen him play live about 15 times and when I saw him on tour with Stevie Ray Vaughn in '89 at the Forum in LA I spent a bundle on 10th row seats and I looked over and saw who was in the crowd around me that night with their mouths hanging open... Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Steve Lukather, and just about every session guitar I worked with in the studios in LA...

Viva Jeff Beck!

 

[kaotik]

just thinking.. how could we forget Heart?.. the most rocking females in rock
crazy on you (mainly for the intro, i love that bit) or barracuda

smoke on the water? deep purple
Cannon Rock - JerryC (check it out on youtube)

WOW, you were at that forum show? I was living in hollywood at the time but was too much on the skids to afford it. I DID however get to see him from 2nd row and center about 8 years ago and was blown away for sure. His right hand technique is where its at. Sooooo much going on in his right hand. A one of a kind and a master at his trade!!!
