Who's your SECOND favourite guitarist???

[wahwah]

Following on from Eric's job link, tell us who rocks your boat after Eddie... [img]images/smilies/icon_jam.gif[/img]

Stevie Ray Vaughn
Jimi Hendrix
Neal Schon

[Mondy]

It changes depending on what mood I am in, wahwah.

This week it is Luke Morley from Thunder. I just love this guys rhythm and the way he plays acoustic. He's just got this beautiful strumming technique.

But here's a whole bunch of others who easily get into that second spot from time to time :
<ul type="square">[*]Steve Rothery[*]Dave Gilmoure[*]Paul Gilbert[*]Richie Sambora[*]Jason Becker[*]Angus Young[*]Santana[*]Bryan May[*]etc...[/list]

I met Luke and Danny when I auditioned for Terraplane (this was the name of the band before they changed it to Thunder) and I very nearly got the gig! BUT second may as well be 4,000,000th! Luke is a great songwriter first and a great guitarist second IMO but Danny has a voice that is a mix of Roger Daltrey and Robin Zander (Cheap Trick). I think one of the reasons I didn't get the gig was that they were all South London guys and mates who hung out together all the time...and I was a geordie! It sounds better than they thought I was pants on the guitar! [img]images/smilies/icon_lol.gif[/img] We're talking 1984 here by the way! [img]images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]

I'm more of a feel guitarist, and the guy's playing moves me !

My brother has met them all many times, and says they are good guys. I love Danny's voice, I could listen to him sing all day. Him and Steve Hogarth from Marillion.

Anyway, that is a cool story, wahwah. I know of Terraplane. You're right that he is a great songwriter, but he really lets the feel come across in his playing, and I love that much more that your million notes a second stuff.
