goose Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Berry, Hendrix, Paige, Clapton. Those four probably cover the full spectrum as far as influencing the development of modern guitar-playing. They aren't my four favorite, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymaker Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) Alas, such male mountains. Does anyone have any favorite female guitarists? Tedeschi, Ford, Batten, Wilson . . . ? I can't answer this thread myself, because I have way too many guitar heroes and heroines. Edited July 25, 2015 by toymaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I want to put Les Paul first, as there is no modern guitar without him .... But for ROCK GUITAR Mt Rushmore: Chuck Berry Michael Schenker Jimi Hendrix Eddie Van Halen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bard Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Once again....it's always the same four guys, and then the 5th guy is usually personal preference. You gotta take out the godfathers like Les Paul and Chuck Berry. They're a class unto which few can be inducted, so that's a different animal...and if you take out the solo virtuosos like Vai or Satriani or Bonamassa or Di Meola or whom have you, the first 4 are virtually indisputable. :) HendrixClaptonPageEVHStevie Ray Edited July 28, 2015 by Bard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Keeping Stevie Ray off kills me too .... but I sort justify that with the fact that he was more in the blues realm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bard Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) I think you might be overrating Schenker a tad for Mt. Rushmore. ;) I dig Michael myself. And his brother, and all the German boys in the Scorpions past and present, Matthias, Rudy, Uli. They are absolutely worthy and rank in the very top of hard rock axemen. But in the top five over SRV? Or Howe? Or Lifeson? David Gilmour? Joe Perry? Dave Davies? I dunno. ;) Edited July 28, 2015 by Bard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death of a Clown, Strangers, Rats, Mindless Child of Motherhood, Party Line, Livin on a Thin Line... Hell yeah. Without the Kinks, much of classic or modern rock wouldn't exist. The ever underrated bannermen of the British Invasion. Those other Limeys, the Fab Four and the yardbirds and the Stones, they always get all the credit. Ray and Dave Davies are beyond question two of the finest songwriters in history. They almost made a 50 year reunion happen this last year, but Ray and Dave still hate each others' guts and Dave took a hit on his dexterity after the stroke, but he came back well enough to keep jamming, it seems. Still, I figure if Sting and Copeland could get back for a one-off Police reunion after 30 years, I'm hoping the Kinks might do the same. It's a little late, but they're not dead yet at least. Ray wants to do it, but Dave, not as much. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
