ledzep59 Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Well he is extremely well known but not usually given the credit he deserves for his guitar playing- Prince.
milod Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Met Carl once when I lived in Memphis and that seems an increasingly long time ago. <grin> m
mcmurray Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Guthrie Govan - one of the best in the business and criminally underrated.
SG fan 420 Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Met Carl once when I lived in Memphis and that seems an increasingly long time ago. <grin> m I met him in his hometown of Jackson TN once, great man, very down to earth. George Harrison flew all the way to Jackson to sing at his funeral:)
zigzag Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Guthrie Govan - one of the best in the business and criminally underrated. Heard him today for the first time, you're right. One of the best guitar players most have never heard is Tommy Emmanuel. You tube his Guitar Boogie or Initiation. After hearing both of those guys, you may give up guitar.
NeoConMan Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Little-known, under-rated, whatever... Two guys who've sold millions and I've always liked a lot but nobody seems to know their name? Lindsay Buckingham and Mike Campbell.
tartanbeastie Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Little-known' date=' under-rated, whatever...Two guys who've sold millions and I've always liked a lot but nobody seems to know their name?

mcmurray Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 One of the best guitar players most have never heard is Tommy Emmanuel. He's well known around these parts. Tommy is at the top of his game - untouchable! Also I thought I'd throw Dave Hole into the discussion - one of the world's finest blues slide guitarists.
zigzag Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Little-known' date=' under-rated, whatever...Two guys who've sold millions and I've always liked a lot but nobody seems to know their name? Lindsay Buckingham and Mike Campbell.[/quote'] See page 1. Never cared that much for Lindsay, but both of those guys are talented. Also, I must add Richard Thompson to the list; great lyricist and song writer, too.
NeoConMan Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 lindsay.. wasnt he fleetwood mac then went solo?? Yep. Did some brilliant stuff in F-Mac. Kinda weird on his own' date=' but he was a gunslinger back in the day. Oh ZigZag, got it!
zigzag Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Yep.Did some brilliant stuff in F-Mac. Before he and Stevie Nicks were in Fleetwood Mac, they did an album together. The album was good, the cover was better.
Shnate McDuanus Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Oh! Oh! Sonny Landreth! I saw him last year at a festival in New Jersey--he sounded better live than he does in his studio albums. I feel like he's not totally unknown, but he certainly hasn't gotten the recognition I would expect him to get.
jaxson50 Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Harvey "The Snake" Mandel! He has recorded with Charlie Musslewhite, Canned Heat, The Stones, John Mayall and is still playing and playing well....
GIANTRobOT420 Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 John Mclaughlin doesnt get much mention [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE]
Lowdown Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Heard him today for the first time' date=' you're right. One of the best guitar players most have never heard is Tommy Emmanuel. You tube his Guitar Boogie or Initiation. After hearing both of those guys, you may give up guitar. His brother Phil is the better of the 2 IMO. Is a more rock/blues oriented guitarist. Met him (though didn't know who he was at the time) just after I'd started playing when I was 13. He was jamming in a music shop in Tamworth,where I grew up,and like a moth to a flame I got talking,jamming etc as best as I could and he even gave me a few tips. Cool bloke. Years later met him again when I was a regular gigger,went up to say G'Day to him,he was drinking out of a bottle of Jack's and shooting the sh*t with a few other hot shot Oz muso's - he didn't know who yhe fukc I was.:D Of course...but was still a great bloke to yak with. But man can he play.

Another guy that doesn't get his due is Walter Trout.
