frankdp Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 What about the himself... I saw Les play at the Iridium in 2006 and took this short vid on my digital. Very cool show and he signed my pickguard after the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mick Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I think it's safe to say that any guitar player in a succesfull band is going to be above average. Sure there are some duds out there and anybody can be made to sound good in the studio these days. I remember seeing the movie "The Unheard Music" about the 80s L.A. punk band' date=' X, and being impressed by their guitarist. On the other side, I saw a live clip of Lita Ford the other day on MTV and thought wow, she sucks. [/quote'] Billy Zoom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tulsaslim Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 The guy who really jumps out at me is Henry Garza of Los Lonely Boys. The guy is fantastic but not too many people talk about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loud N Proud Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 My choice would be Ani DiFranco. I am just in awe of her playing ability. She does some amazing things on every album I have heard. I would really recommend picking up the album, "Knuckle Down". That is my personal favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice the symbol for Saturn. I have aslo read where the Z looking symbol is the sign of Capricorn and the OSO was Aleister Crowleys symbol for 666. It's still up in the air but they aren't letters from the alphabet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 For a great bit of melodic soloing, Tony Peluso, who played the guitar bits on The Carpenter's (version of Burt Bacharrach's) 'Goodbye To Love'. It's a nice warm-up thing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
