I always dug Mason Rufner.
Even though there is a good chance I'm misspelling that last name!

[QUOTE=telex76;3954722]Eddy Shaver. Not unknown, but he doesn't get talked about near enough.
I like guys who play Teles, but I could listen to him play his Strat all day.
Too bad he died too soon.

I just learned about him the other day when someone on another forum posted a pic of him playing with Willie Nelson. He was like 12 or 13 years old, playing with a Willie Nelson! Great talent, tragic ending.

Kimberley Rew of The Soft Boys (and latterly Katrina and The Waves). Check out the sublime solo at the end of this track:

I like Junior Barnard with Bob Wills too.

Tj, that Benny Joy cut was cool...any idea on the year that was released?

Nick Lucas


Dick McDonough


John Cali & Tony Guttoso

These guys were amazingly articulate players with wonderful tone, and it's all the more impressive when you consider that they played on strings the size of suspension bridge and that they rarely changed them (and unlike a lot of later jazz guitarists, they bent the hell out of those things.)

Norwegian jazz player, Robert Normann, wasn't very "hip", nor did he play a Telecaster, but he made Django Reinhardt drop his jaw, and he was at one time voted Europe's best jazz musician!

Had he been American or British I'm sure many more of you would know about him and recognize him for what he was: Simply one of all times greatest guitarists!

He was also a great inventor - the octave/bass pickup that we see in one of the tunes, was his own invention. It made it possible for him to play the melody/chords and bass simultanously.

Ronnie Montrose was my favorite guitarist of the 70's and beyond. I have read his playing was very much admired by his peers.

Johnny Echols from Love

Cliff Gallup - I know a lot of guitarists respect & love the guy but he's pretty anonymous to the wider public

Marc Ribot

I could be wrong and just not hip enough, but I don't think Stephen Malkmus gets his due as a guitar player. Dave Gregory is a great choice; Andy Partridge also became a heck of a player.

I'm with you on Malkmus. Love the sounds he gets.

Also: Tanya Donnelly, Joey Santiago, and East Bay Ray from the Dead Kennedys.

Randy Jackson (no not that one)...the one from Zebra
Rik Emmett - famous yes, rarely discussed...big yes
Paul Dean - Loverboy....I like some of the stuff he did...alot
Mick Jones - Foreigner, Spooky Tooth - not flashy but damn tasty, rarely discussed
Jimmy McCullough - Wings, Thunderclap Newman, Stone the Crows - his premature death is probably the biggest reason he's rarely discussed, let alone acknowledged. His guitar playing on the live "Maybe I'm Amazed" and "Juniors Farm" is great in my opinion

I'm sure I'll come up with more....lol

I know he's highly respected in the jazz community, but I immediately thought of Pat Metheny. He can burn it up when he wants to, but it's all so pretty and melodic.
