Dude,

a.) almost all these guys, never heard of 'em.

b.) It's way too much work to find examples of the greatest guitar work out there.
I just spent a while trying to find out who is it who plays the electric on Aimee Mann's couple of albums from circa 2000 something...I don't remember the names of albums but I listen to them all the time, and whoever that guy is, is one of the best guitarists I've ever heard.

Then also couldn't find anything live by Saigon Kick...whoever plays guitar in that band as well is _so_ good.

Also youtube seems slooow and crashing today...with Reef, can't find anything live...that guy I know by name though, Kenwyn House...such a weird name....well I suppose I could find some 70's examples of Angus Young playing, and Neil Young & Crazy Horse, but ya all know them so won't bother.

I'd be shocked if you HAD heard of them. Until recently you didn't even know who Willie Nelson or B.B. King were :)

I'd heard of several of these, but a few I hadn't. I only heard of Government Mule this week. Warren was on the Bob and Tom show Friday and played some wonderful music.

Always start the vids at low volume!

Precious little is ever heard of Michael Mann, one of the true greats of Jump/Blues/Rock guitar that died way too early with only 2 CDs of his solo material to be had today, and very little is available to view. Here's some of what I could find.

One of my favorite guitar soloes of all time. Steely Dan's Bodhisattva, featuring the incomparable Denny Dias on lead guitar.

Unfortunately, this is the only "clip" I could find on youtube (other than some cats trying to cover it) of the real Steely Dan take of the song. It's a Rock Band thing (like Guitar Hero, neither of which I've ever seen or played), but the song and lead are crystal clear, which is the point. So, you're literally going to "hear" (as this thread is titled) a great guitarist in one of his shining moments! Here ya go, it's worth it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gluSElwbAI&feature=video_response

(By the by: just learned a few weeks ago that Jeff "Skunk" Baxter (studio rat, Steely Danner and Doobie Bros) is setting up shop right next door to Parramore Music here locally, where I've bought all my Peavey and Martin gear - and home to my guitar tech Chris Davis. Pretty darn cool! And it's only abt 10 blocks from me! Maybe I'll get to meet another legend...:happy )

Davy Knowles is unfortunately an unknown, but one of the best talents to come along since SRV in my opinion.

OP: I've listened to guys like Warren Haynes, Stanly Jordan, Robben Ford, Buddy Guy, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd for so long, I consider them to be Super Stars already!

Whoa guys, you listen to strange music :poke . Me, I generally like proper rock music, not these jazzy/country/artsy bluesy thangs or fall-betweens like Pink Floyd etc. you don't know if that's rock or what the hell is that noodling :crazyguy . I guess I'm too much of a one-track guy, it's gotta be either rock music :dude :rockon: or then downright Miles Davis or classical music...never like anything in between really...my loss I guess :help :thwap But that Black Keys one was just my kind of stuff...I really need to see if I can steal their album if they have one out...

Um, it's a matter of debate. Using and downloading and even upping to the net aren't basically. Using for monetary gain is, and sharing at least in large quantities, i.e. with intent to distribute, is.

But yeah, basically there is no law saying I can't download whatever I find on the net.

Using whatever I download, though, is another matter, but as long as I'm not running a company that somehow benefits from using, say pirated software in its functions, it's basically allowed, although there is constant debate on how does it work.

There have been a few trials where they have charged people who have shared, say a 100.000 songs or whatever for years, generating huge traffic...but as long as it's comparable to home taping etc. or just personal use downloads, it may be frowned upon and debated, but there really is no legal basis to forbid it. We'll see if it changes.

I guess...but you gotta understand, I'm scandinavian...not all things american are so well known here. I'm sure you wouldn't know the players in Finnish, French or German bands too well :-)

Like I posted in another thread, I don't think for instance country music is listened to basically at all outside U.S. although I was very surprised a lot of them older country songs etc. and stuff like Johnny Cash is turned into children's music and dance songs and people in most cases don't even know the original tune is some obscure (to us) american song, like 'Riders in the Sky' 'Crocodile Rock' etc.

"Crocodile Rock" is an Elton John song. Elton John is originally from Pinner, just north of London, UK. A British song then, recorded in France iirc. You really are isolated in Finland, aren't you? :)

I have to admit I haven't heard of many of the blues players in this thread but I don't listen much to modern blues rock.

Oh. I didn't know that. Never listened to any Elton that I know of, all I know of him are the hits you can't have missed, like when Diana died etc. Not my kind of music.

But I suppose most Finns know crocodile rock in Finnish first, most probably don't know it's Elton's...this is the version I remember:

Hey, I actually have had a Frank Marino album on tape! Might still have it somewhere. I know many Canadian bands, just the other day I found some old Helix albums. Isn't Danko Jones Canadian - they're one of my favorite bands. Rush is also very big in Finland, I have friends who've traveled to other countries just to see Rush. And Annihilator was Canadian? What about Billy Talent, I think at least some of the guys are Canadian...and Talent's II album is maybe the best album I have heard in maybe 10 years and definitely will be a classic. The Tragically Hip as well...I've known a couple of Canadians and I always thought it must be much similar to Finland in some respects over there. There are two countries in the world I might consider moving into other than here, if I had a good job offer to work there, and they're Canada and New Zealand. (My wife is a scientist (biochemistry) and there is a possibility she'll have to go work at some big international university to do some studies for a year or two and us the family may be forced to have to live wherever it will be for a while. Her colleague just moved to California to do some study thing.) We also had a half-canadian bass player in our band for 4 years.

I suppose it's just that I don't - and I don't think many finns either - listen to this blues and country stuff. It's so...I don't know. I think of someone listening to blues or country, I think of truck drivers. No offense meant, seriously. But it's just not popular here among regular folk. Even musicians I guess. Jazz and such is big, stuff like Miles Davis and, I dunno, Jaco Pastorius, Bootsy Collins, would be better known, and there are of course some blues/jazz acts that are big here and well known...but bluesy country style rock, not so much. And to be honest, most of that stuff sounds just like the next song to me anyway. Can't really tell many SRV's song apart from the next for instance, always the same chords, manners, licks. I suppose it's supposed to be very simple music but to me country music very often sounds like one big song. You could just change the words and feel a little and that'd be another song even if it had the same beat and chords.

I reckon in country music lyrics are also important, but there's a catch - nobody in a non-english-speaking country care a rat's *** about the lyrics. So they are completely lost on people. I could make songs about raping dead grandmothers and play that on a fine dinner party as a beautiful ballad and very few people would even flinch. Even I - although I view myself as rather competent with English - very rarely listen to lyrics on songs. So that may be one factor taking away from the appeal of country and blues.

In most cases with popular music, you're not missing anything if you don't understand the music. Plus, even if you extremely proficient in the language, it's often difficult to tell exactly what the singer is saying.

Re: the Finnish version of Crocodile Rock, I particularly enjoyed the Chipmunks on background vocals. I remember hearing the Beatles doing "She Loves You" in German "Sie liebt dich, ja, ja, ja" and giggling quietly to myself. Even my feeble German skills could figure that one out.

I don't know why everybody here is so surprised that Finnish native wouldn't be familiar with everything that Americans take for granted. American culture is spreading throughout the world (not unlike the plague) but that doesn't mean that people everywhere should know everything that we do.

Is Noel a great guitar player or does he steal from the best.
Both? I'll never say he's the most amazingly-fast player you'll ever find, but he unearths some incredibly memorable tunes, guitar lines, and solos.

I consider it kind of a game to try to identify stolen bits of his songs, like the vocal melody in the verse of "Fade Away."

I love this one, particularly the guitar bits he puts in toward the end:

Adam Jones is the texture rich, creative guitarist of Tool, and must be brought up.
Isn't he supposedly one of the current guitar tone kings? I've dabbled in Tool, but have never really given them a series of honest listens, so I don't know a whole ton about them. They seem to have carved out a solid art-metal niche.

Look back in Anger !

Beginning is Imagine C F C F
Chord sequence is Let it be (with E) C G AM E F G7
Middle bit has taken the riff from David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust

but still a great 90's song and good solo

"My birth certificate—when the doctor said, ‘What is the name of the child, Miss Hinson?’—that was my momma’s maiden name, Hinson—she said, ‘Well, lets just name him after his father,' but she didn’t even know his last name, so the birth certificate read 'Mother: Miss Hinson. Father: Unknown.' So she technically named me after my daddy.”

He's hysterical, but he also has some mean chops. I came to know him via Squidbillies. I'd like to see him sometime, but I don't think he comes this far north.

Plays Vox cheesegraters too!

Steinar Gregertsen is a guy from my hometown who plays some of the most tasteful guitar and lap steel I've heard.

He's collaborated with Tom Principato, who also guests on Steinar's new CD.
