CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Hal Blaine was also one of the Wrecking Crew. There are about 15-20 players that were on that list including Glenn Campbell and Al Casey among others. Hal Blaine and Earl Palmer were the drummers. Carol Kaye and Ray Pohlman were the best known bass players, though Carol also plays guitar. Some sessions had Tommy, Howard Roberts, Al Casey, Glenn Campbell all on guitars with Hal and Carol on the rhythm section and someone like Don Randi on piano. The Herb Alpert stuff had this lineup. Phil Spector too until Howard had enough of Phil's crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Money Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Dickey Betts and Gary Rossington because they developed that southern rock sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PW_Guitarist Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 My hands-down all-time favourite will always be Eric Johnson. No one plays or sounds like him. Talent, chops, inspiration, creativity, imagination, articulation, and by all accounts a wonderful human being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewblank Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Aside from the classic prog-rock players that are usually mentioned (Fripp, Gilmore, Hackett, Howe), I'd have to say Frank Zappa is one of my top favorites in the "technical ability" category. Now this will probably seem way out in left filed for a Rush forum member, but the other players that I really like are Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo from Sonic Youth. There's something about their wild and reckless approach to the guitar that I find simply awe-inspiring. cheers, ew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron Brennan Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Aside from a lot that people have already mentioned, one of my fave's is John Williams. His album Iberia is amazing. He's a fantastic classical guitarist. I remember rocking out to one of my Dad's Sky LP's years ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Ways Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Difficult. Growing up it was Clapton hands down. I spent a great deal of time trying to shake a note like EC shook a note. Then I really got into Yngwie and Satriani. Now I am more into songs so I don't think I can answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
