Greatest guitar player not known primarily as a guitarist.....

[TheIrishHammer]

For example, if you pick Eddie Van Halen, not only are you disqualified, but I will mock you 'til your dying days, which won't be that long since I will also immediately begin to hunt you down.

Now, any entries are acceptable, but there is only one winning ticket, and I know the answer. This would be in the good music category, which eliminates the last decade at least. Also, if you're one of those young punks who names someone I've never heard of, refer back to the first paragraph.

Trey Grey. I played in a band in high school and this 12 year old showed up and blew us all away on percussion. We went on to win state competion being the youngest ever at 13. Went on to tour w/garth brooks then became a studio muscian when he wanted to settle down and have a family.

Scoop ALWAYS comes through. Still laughing.

It's funny, because it just might be true.

 

[TheIrishHammer]

Ok....

Ok....

That most of you suck at this does not remove the fact that you fukks came up with two names I never considered, and for that you'll have to pay. Note: I used the double "kk" to shield the yutes from the evil-doers.

Pace yourself, Hammer. You're running out of ND message boards fast. And be gentle with me, I'm a gentile.

there has been plenty of good guitar players in the last decade.

for instance, i would choose Brendan Bayliss as the answer to your question. He is the singer/"rhythm guitar" player for Notre Dame's own Umphrey's McGee. One of the hottest jam bands in the country now.

 

[TheIrishHammer]

Well, as far as you know I'm running out of message boards. Look for the eclectic brand on any board and more than likely it's me.

Now, MAS.............Hmmmmmmmmmm......

Mom's Ass's Sore?

Perfect example........you're disqualified.

Thank you in advance.

A Hammer by any other name....

If you're referring to my mother, she's deceased.

Roy Buchanan

 

[Bubba]

Santana

 

[Vince Young]

Ben Folds, formerly lead singer and pianist for Ben Folds Five. Known primarily for being a virtuoso on the piano, but when he went solo, he did almost all of his own instrumentation on his first solo album, and his guitar-work was quite good in my never-to-be-humble opinion.

Please, Hammer, don't hurt 'em!

 

[Vince Young]

Santana

Nice try, but the subject isn't "greatest guitar player." It's "greatest guitar player not known primarily as a guitarist." That's why I picked Ben Folds, who is known primarily as a pianist.

Not that Santana can't play the hell out of one those things, but hey, we let Santana slip into this conversation, and pretty soon someone's gonna nominate Eddie Van Halen. And NOBODY wants to see that. Could get ugly.
