Guitarists...
- Thread starter XTR
- Start date
I still rate Stevie #1 in my book. I've seen him play 5 times (perhaps 4 1/4 times in that once he was so blitzed he played 5 songs and left the stage. Greg Allman with Dickie Betz came on and saved the day) but his best came after he entered recovery from alcoholism. I saw him at JazzFest earlier in the year of his death; the whole bands performance was incredible. Oddly, on the day of his death, I found out that a secretary at the university clinic where I was working was married to the brother of Chris Layton, the drummer for Stevie. She mentioned that if she knew I was such a fan she could have gotten backstage/front row passes for me any time I wanted them for any concert. Damn.... I saw Stevie go into 'the zone' for near 10 minutes one night on the riverboat President while the rest of the band and crowd stood and stared in amazement that someone could make such wonderful and full sounds come from a guitar seemingly effortlessly. At the end of his riff he opened his eyes and gazed out with a huge grin and humility as if he was saying "I'm as amazed as you; I'm not sure how this can happen either". It was a special moment.

Holy crap, @Ned Ludd!! Awesome line-up you got there.
I'm one of those tube heads . . . I run a 45 year old HiWatt DR 504 - it's been with me for forty years and it's all I've ever wanted/needed.
DR Z (Mike Zaite) is an acquaintance of mine through my best friend (who has a rather large Z amp collection, several protos and samples that are within the first 5-10 ever made). I personally have a 2006 Stang Ray that is my one and only.
I'm a humbucker guy and I find my Collings So Co to be the perfect do-it-all HB guitar.
Here's the amazing Buddy Whittington (John Mayall's lead guitarist for a decade) playing my Big Red back in 2011..
And yours truly on the far right not doing it justice in my former hobby band. 2:11 starts the solo break.

Roy Buchanan
The boy like to drink , unfortunately the police pick him up on one of his jags when he was headed down town . He hung himself in the jail . A good player gone to soon.
Link didn't work like I thought .click on the live from Austin Tx. or search for Roy's Bluz live.
