antwhi2001 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Dave Gilmour Dave Davies (for helping shift pop into rock in the 60s, and for some great under-rated live playing in the 80s) Eric Clapton (for his superb mid-60s recycling of Freddy King and Buddy Guy) Mick Ronson (for the creative support - guitar playing and arranging - that made Bowie a star and brought the best out of Ian Hunter) Bill Nelson (for great guitar solos and arrangements on Sunburst Finish and Modern Music) Others I have to mention : Martin Barre Hendrix Zappa Andy Powell, Ted Turner, Laurie Wisefield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antwhi2001 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Really surprised to see George Harrison figure so often in this thread. I'm a fan and have a lot of his solo stuff, but I wonder if people are picking him (a) because of his later solo work, especially his beautiful melodic multi-tracked slide playing, (:- for his early poor imitations of chuck berry, © because he was a Beatle (but not realising that some of the later stuff wasn't him, it was McCartney). I regard him as a superb slide player who really took off around 1971 onwards, but his Beatles stuff 1963-1968 doesn't impress me. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan (and one of the lucky few to have seen him play solo) but he's so different to most of the other "guitar heroes" named here.
