Great additions...Albert Lee is phenomenal! Stanley Jordan, his style is SO unique!! Allan Holdsworth...great!! Scott Gorham...yeah, there's a plethora of Thin Lizzy guitarists who belong on the list...who's the TL guy who's last name is Robertson...was in at the same time as Scott Gorham, I think?

They're so good on their instrument and since it's a FORM of guitar playing, both Stanley Clarke & Jaco Pastorius, though bass players, COULD be considered for inclusion! Don'tcha think?


More MIA's I thought of (and I'm ashamed I didn't think of them on my previous post)

Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top)
Duane Allman
Warren Haynes (Allman Bros)
Dickey Betts (ex-Allman Bros)
Brent Mason (#1 Nashville session ace!)
Clarence White (latter incarnation of The Byrds)
Peter Frampton (don't let the teeny-bopper image fool ya...he's a fantastic guitar player)
Jerry Garcia
Dave Davies (Kinks)
Alvin Lee (Ten Years After)
Al DiMeola
Mike Bloomfield
Stephen Stills
Robert Cray
Bill Nelson (Be-Bop Deluxe)
Robbie Robertson (The Band)
Lowell George (Little Feat)
Steve Lukather (Toto)
Neal Schon (Santana/Journey)
Tommy Shaw (Styx)
Brad Whitford (Aerosmith), Joe Perry gets all the glory, but Brad's his equal.

and, let's not just keep this a "guy's club" what about...

Bonnie Raitt? She's one of the best slide guitarists around...or ever!

Vicki Peterson of the Bangles was no slouch on guitar
Charlotte Caffey of the Go-Go's was a decent player, as well
Long-time studio ace, Carol Kaye is incredible both on guitar AND bass. She played on most of the Beach Boys mid-60's hits.
