Your Mt Rushmore of Guitar Players
What 4 heads would you want to see carved into the side of a mountain in honour of their greatness / inspiration / meaning to you?
How can I be sure I'm here?

Re: Your Mt Rushmore of Guitar Players
Damn that's difficult. The ones left me wide eyed and really keen to pick up a guitar
Vernon Reid
Brian May
Steve Vai
James Hetfield? Angus Young? Stone Gossard? Jerry Cantrell? Paul Gilbert? Hard to say man.

Re: Your Mt Rushmore of Guitar Players
Actually quite hard to narrow it down!
For pure guitar playing it would be:
- Page
- Gilmour
- Edge
- Dean Deleo
If it were singer/songwriter/frontman abilities, it would be more like:
- Johnny Mar
- Neil Finn
- Rich Robinson
- Josh Homme
But that will all change the second I hit submit...

Nothing to see here.

Re: Your Mt Rushmore of Guitar Players
Jimi Hendrix
Duane Allman
Pete Townsend
BB King
I think Pete Townsend is vastly underrated. The more I listen to early Who stuff the more I hear.

Re: Your Mt Rushmore of Guitar Players
Billy Gibbons
Eddie Van Halen
Jimi Hendrix
Malcolm Young
All 4 on my list possess that mastery level of syncopation, the placing of notes anywhere relative to the beat that brings their playing to life in a way that is so, so hard to replicate and yet adds so much.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll spend thousands on fishing equipment he'll use for a bit, then get bored and move onto something else.

Re: Your Mt Rushmore of Guitar Players
Pete Buck
Mark Knopfler
Rich Robinson
Johnny Marr
I'm sure I'll think of a different four five minutes from now, but this is based on three I can actually be arsed to listen to, and Randy for nostalgic reasons.
Edit. Dumping Randy for Knopfler, and Petty for Rich Robinson.
