Reading Revival last night got me a'thinkin about guitarists. Can't play a single chord, but I sure do appreciate 'pickers n grinners'. Seems like a good subject to get chattery about, so here goes:
Favorite guitarists:
1. Jimi Hendrix. Sure, he's kind of a given, but I tell yez, I can never get enough of ol' Jimi. The cat was superhuman, an angel, a devil, a genius, a madman--a VOODOO child, do ya. Around my house we call em GOD.
2. David Gilmore. This guy blows my mind as well, just churns my brain butter like nobody's business.
3. Mike McCready. Say Pearl Jam, and most cats think Eddie Vedder. Not Muskie--as far as I'm concerned, McCready is the star of that band. Totally underrated, IMO.
4. Keef. Mick's cool and all, but Keith Richards is the top Stone, hands down (Mick Taylor was pretty good as well).
5. Brian May. Sure, Freddie had a good set o' pipes, but I LOVE May's chirpy pickin. Amazing.
Yeah, I dig the oldies, but you pretty much have to if ya wanna hear actual musicians playing actual instruments. This new stuff the kids listen to--dear lord, it's embarrassing.
