Now during the birth of rock n roll, i would have to say the Piano ruled the school but you know elvis couldn't put a piano around his neck and shake now could he... Thats why the guitar has stood the test of time.. Today I give you my top ten favorite guitar players of all time!
10. Billy Corgan- Billy created some of the coolest guitar sounds ever in the mid to late 90's, evidence below...
here is one of my favorite performances of "GEEK USA" from the Viaphoria video
9. Johnny Greenwood- Well I was going to put Neil Young here but Johnny did some of the craziest guitar things I have ever heard on the Bends and Ok Computer... But its just to bad radiohead couldnt make as many great albums/songs as neil did!
oh well hard to complain about this...
here is Just, off of the Bends!
8. David Gilmour- How do you replace one of the coolest sounding guitar gods of the psycadelic era in Syd Barret, well you get his guitar tech, to fill in his shoes.. it also helps any guitar player when the songs they are playing on are just killer, but here some Mother off of the Wall, always loved this guitar solo...
7. Devin Frank- now wait a minute you might say, Devin... what about Malkmus well my friends Devin can do or play anything he wants, I love his solo's which are always pretty much recorded off the cuff and I always write songs and just think OH devin can just throw a solo in there.. and he does in usually with a smile.. and 1 thing that hes got that malkmus would never do is a back roll and a behind the back guitar solo...
here is one of his tunes ride the thunder
6. George Harrison- Da, some of the most recognisable guitar lines ever, and he made most Lennon, McCartney songs even better with his wonderful style..
here is one of my favorite solo tunes by him "WAH WAH' live at the Concert for Bangledash! so good! now clappton might take the solo and the wife, but george wrote it and kicked its ass!
Ok TUNE in tommorow for the top 5 ptf favorite guitar players!
