I think the recent GP listing of 101 Forgotten Greats & Unsung heroes is such a brilliant idea that I am introducing The Fret's infinite thread of little known gitslingers.
Now I love EC, SRV, EVH, Hendrix, Page, etc, etc as much as the rest of you, but it's these passionate, eclectic, inconoclastic for the music types that really get me. Thus, I'd love to dig up videos, music, names, anything abou the 101 listed there as well as players that didn't make that list.
I don't have time now, but I'd like to either find this list online or type it up myself & then start digging through the internets for stuff on these men & women.
For the time being I'll add two to the list.
Dave Alvin & Grant Green.
I'm doing this for a selfish reason. I want to play the the guitar to sound like me, not someone else, & what better way to do this than to hear a thousand different guitars ring?
