1. Fred Frith (in my book, it does not get any better than this.)
2. Andy Latimer (perfect balance of emotion and skill, love his style.) 3. Manuel Göttsching (not exactly prog, but he was incredibly original, inventive, innovative, unorthodox, therefore "progressive".) 4. Steve Hillage (incredible phrasing, timing, and feel. His mixture of jazz, ambient, and rock is something I fell in love immediately after hearing Space Shanty.) 5. Phil Miller (similarly to Hillage, Miller's playing is characterised by distinctive phrasing and incredibly tasty liscks.) Edited by ALotOfBottle - July 19 2016 at 02:15 |

Don't know much about technical virtuosity but I do know what I like:
Jerry Gracia Grant Green Phil Miller Sonny Sharrock Bert Jansch ....and Hackett! ....and Zappa! .....man, twenty-five is tough - just five is impossible....it changes with the wind. And though I dig Duane, I always thought that Dickie Betts added more the to Allman's trademark sound. And though Howe is beyond brilliant, I always dug the jazzy approach of Peter Banks a bit more. And though Hendrix, Page and Clapton get the ink, its Jeff Beck that ends up on the turntable much more often. |

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

There's room in the lifeboat for everyone but Steve Howe boards first just to be on the safe side.

hmmm... 5 ehh
too late for the best of the lot Duane Allman. Oh what he could have done given more than 2 years of the still living Jeff Beck no doubt tops the list... guitarists 100 years from now will still be amazed with his depth and quality. Steve Howe no doubt Billy Gibbons -all is forgiven for the MTV years. Conescours still remember what a great guitarist you were and last.. hmmm Reine Fiske. Man lust to that degree must be presevered for all humanity to experience |
