Walter Lure
Jeffery Lee Pierce
Sylvain Sylvain
Mick Taylor
John Squire
Miko Weaver
Chris Haskett

 

Dave Rawlings

 

Phil Manzanera, Clarence White, Hank Garland, Bobby Neal, just off the top of my head.

 

Indisputable...his pre-Army rhythm work is great. "I never heard anyone compliment Elvis' rhythm playing. He was a great rhythm guitarist" --Johnny Cash

 

And oh yeah...Justin Hayward and Tony Hicks.

 

I really agree that Justin Hayward is under appreciated. Love his melodic style and tone!!!

 

True but Kath did sing while playing. It’s not as easy as it looks.

 

My brother dislikes Manzanera’s tone as a player. Me, I think he’s fine. Guess I’m not as picky.

 

James Mankey

 

There was a conversation that took place between Teri and Jimi Hendrix telling Teri that he wished he could play like him

 

In the metal world there is this guy Mike Flyntz he is under appreciated because he is not well known

 

Robben Ford

 

Reggie Young
Terje Rypdal
KK Downing (always seems to be very low in the mix and almost ignored when it comes to live recordings compared to Tipton who seems to get all the focus both volumevice and cameravice)
David Crosby

Trond

 

Joan Armatrading

 

Eric Stewart 10cc

 

I gotta go with Johnny Ramone.

Yes, it was all rhythm, but it was wicked fast. I have seen solid rhythm players like Joan Jett barely able to recreate what he did. (wish I could still find that video of her playing with DeeDee)

 

I believe Bernard Sumner is John Frusciante’s favourite guitar player.

 

I will offer, from the days of Britpop, Adam Devlin from The Bluetones and Liam ‘Skin’ Tyson from Cast.

‘Who?!’ I hear you say.

 

I know, trust me! I used to sing in my band (while on drums) and as teens couldn't afford some clip-on mic, and yes, it was hard.

 

No mention of Ben McLeod from All Them Witches?

 

Curt Kirkwood (Meat Puppets)

 

Michael Gurley of the band dada and Butterfly Jones.

Incredible player, so glad I got to see him with dada several times. I hope he's figured a way through the carpal tunnel.

 

Apparently Joni Mitchell, Miles Davis, and George Harrison thought highly of him. I've seen him live a couple times. He has a great sound.

 

Same here has really nice tone
