"People Are Crazy" - Billy Currington

Arthur Conley

Great thread! I agree there cannot be a best, because it is just too subjective, and there is more than one way to play a guitar. I also have some favorites. I will start with Laurindo Almeida, who I grew up listening to because my Dad was a real fan of his. As I think back, the first guitar that got my real attention on my own, was George Harrison. There are so many others, including Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, Randy Hansen, Don Felder, James Taylor, Joe Walsh, Danny Gatton, Neil Young, Duane Allman, Leo Kottke, Steuart Smith, Patrick Simmons, Walter Becker, Carlos Santana, Peter Green, and the list goes on. Robert Fripp has to be on it, though. There are likely 30 more that I REALLY like, for different reasons. I have no actual #1 favorite. 🙂

"Dancin' In The Moonlight" - Sanford Townsend Band

"Stuck In The Middle With You" - Stealers Wheel

"London Homesick Blues" - Jerry Jeff Walker

Robbie Fulks

You're Never Going To Tampa With Me - Ray Stevens

Introduction - Chicago Transit Authority on vinyl.

Back when I first started performing, in 1970-71, I had an Epiphone ES-335 and had no idea what it was. I had absolutely no sense, having just come home from Vietnam after two years and all the confusion that came with that. Besides, I was a really good drummer at the time, and was learning to take the front of the stage. The evil Pawn Shop got the Epi.

Gimme One Reason - Tracy Chapman

Barry Manilow

I have a great deal of difficulty playing 12 string guitar, but that one would make me want to try. 🙂

"Things We said Today" by The Beatles on my Hummingbird. Cool thread.
