Gifthorse Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 OK my top ten of the 20th century Django Chet Atkins Segovia Van Halen Hendrix (both on the same level really in terms of influence) Wes Dave Gilmour Allan Holdsworth Leo Kottke Tommy Emmanuele (arguably the best steel string guitarist technically in the world) Of course this list is silly. Anyone could come up with 10 different lists in 1 week. That's why it is kind of fun to brainstorm, it is pretty worthless. You know there are always guys who you forget about that suddenly you consider.. But notice Slash wasn't ANYWHERE near my top ten, or Carlos. Not to say they aren't nice guys. They probably are. Or that they haven't had some incredible businessmen, and marketing to forward their careers. I suppose I was just judging on originality and actual talent, not visibility through marketing. But that is all personal opinion. http://flagshipmile.dmusic.com/ http://www.myspace.com/gifthorse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooseboy Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 No Segovia? No Django? I wasn't aware that Segovia played Electric Guitar. Django, maybe, but doubtful. There is no "last guitar." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Iverson Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Django DID record on electric guitar towards the end of his career. My guitar teacher told me about it, but I never heard it. But he was primarily known as an acoustic player. Segovia hated the electric guitar, and considered that "all this rock'n'roll is so much garbage." Still enjoy his records, though!

Sharkman Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Must this thread go on till Hell burns out? Yes, it must. Like the flames of Hell, this inflammatory list shall continue to burn and create heat. I rock; therefore, I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
