Top 105 Guitarists - The Winner page 33

[Resurrection Joe...]

So looks like just me and Bimbo had the good taste to pick Steve Cropper :-)

Now I know this is about favourites rather than best but the fact that only one other person had Buddy Guy in their list caused me some sadness; but then I saw that he is below Bernard (and i say this as someone who has seen New Order more times than any other band) and JDB in this list and my sadness turned to rage as frankly this is a crime against music!!

But more seriously, if you like bluesy stuff at all and you are not familiar with him check him out, Buddy is in his mid 80's now and is still going at it. The people he got to guest on his 2022 album tells you all you need to know about the esteem in which he is held. Absolute legend.

Glad to see Duanne Allman in the list, one of the great "what could have been"s of popular music.

I'm the other Buddy Guy, guy.......also had Duanne !

I like New Order (a lot) but his placing in this list v. some others, including Zappa, is pretty bizarre.

Not really. It is favourite guitarist, not most technically proficient.

I know, it's freezing cold and I'm just having a moan :-)

It is interesting though because I have seen new order literally dozens of times over the years and to me they are one of the great bands of my lifetime but it never even occurred to me to consider Barney for this list.

I had Bernard on my list for his work with Joy Division. However, he's not currently the best guitarist in New Order technically. That would be Phil Cunningham who also continues to shine in Sea Fever, as he has also done in the past in Marion.

Theres me hoping to be edgy and different...when in actual fact i have normal, middle of the road taste :-)

That's four for me so far. John 5, John Mitchell, Scott Gorham, Frank Dunnery.
Got a feeling there is three in my list that might not make it.

Bernard Sumner above Zappa?

I blame myself for forgetting to vote.
Frank would've been in my top 3 and barney wouldn't have made my top 100

 

[deano ou812]

Hahahahaha Randy Rhoads at 31 meh thought he’d have been nailed on for top 10 ..

I wouldn't worry about it...We all know Johnny Marr and Noel Gallagher will be one and two in some order.
