Some guitar players you should hear, if you haven't already!

[Perfect Stranger]

How about a list of guitar players that you feel might be a little overlooked but should be sought out and listened to? Don't list the Super Stars, everybody already knows them. Bring some new.....or old....music to the table.

I'll start off with a small list to get ya'll started...

Jonny Lang -


Sonny Landreth -


Buddy Guy -


Warren Haynes - Gov't Mule -


Kenny Wayne Shepherd -


Roy Buchanan -


Derek Trucks -


Walter Trout -


Masaki Matsubara -


Stanley Jordan (check this cat out on youtube) -


Alvin Lee - (Ten Years After) -


Buck Dharma - (Blue Oyster Cult) -


Bonnie Raitt - for slide guitar -


Gary Hoey -


Joe Bonamassa -


Michael Romeo -


Peter Frampton - his instrumental stuff -


Robben Ford -


Michael Kang - (String Cheese Incident) -

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.

Pt. 1
Pt. 2

There are a couple more on YT of Fats w/The Blasters, and that's about it.

Always start the vids at low vol.!

Kimo is deffinitely one you've probably missed.
Seasoned in East LA along with his brothers, they were one hot ensemble.
Today sadly, they are no longer together, but enjoy what was.





w/Chris Cain

His latest venture is a different style CD full of great music with a strong focus on the steel guitar - www.cdbaby.com/cd/kimomusic
He studied under the legendary steeler, Jerry Byrd, and obviously paid full attention.

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:

(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... )

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!

He plays guitar differently than the players in the previous videos, but he is just as impressive. I had the good fortune of seeing him perform and it was a jaw-dropping experience.

Wow, Jeff is a true legend. Tell us if you run into him. Bet you could buy him lunch and have a great time!
(a buddy bought Dave Mustaine lunch in Dallas and had a dream come true with great conversation)

Whoa guys, you listen to strange music . 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 . I guess I'm too much of a one-track guy, it's gotta be either rock music or then downright Miles Davis or classical music...never like anything in between really...my loss I guess 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...

Great thread though, some great players it seems, even if they play all wrong kind of music, LOL ;-)

[Disraeli]

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...

Listen to the Black keys Magic Potion album. That would be right up your alley.

Yeah, I just found their discography, 10 albums including Ep's and a solo album by that guy...ill take 30 minutes to download, big package.

[SuperSwede]

Exellent post!

I´ve posted about Andreas Lidberg before but I am certain that this talented guitarist will be well known in the future!

I assume that Torrenting is not illegal in Finland?

Rocky was part of the rejuvinated Black Oak Arkansas around 1990 and was a huge part of their killer CD - The Wild Bunch.
Here he's with a dapper lil whipper snapper named Cole Davis, who might have a future on the guitar...

Girls do it too!
Donna Austin getting inside Jimi.

The sublime, Ronnie earl. Dig the Strat!

Ronnie w/Jimmie Vaughan - Texas Flood
Not the best sound quality, but two of the best Strat wranglers around.

Former T-Birds Duke and Kid
I saw this band twice, and even tho it took two Strats to do it, these guy's were better than the JV day's.
Glad to see there is vid of this T-Bird version.
