Best modern guitarist
-
saw an interview on guitar sessions the other night with chicago...they were asked when did you start getting noticed and one of the members said that they were playing at some small venue and they noticed hendrix was there watching them...hendrix came up to them and said quote...your guitar player is better than i am, how would you like to open for my band....from there the rest is history...the guitarist's name was terry kath who committed suicide in the early 80's i think..but i remember seeing them and never expected what i saw from him...the guy was fucking incredible...when you thought of chicago back in the early 70's it was their horns and harmonies and lyrics of course...but that just blew me away...
He was a great vocalist too.....they had a few of them, so he didnt sing much, but he was my favorite of the 3....
and Danny Seraphine was another amazing and under appreciated drummer.....top of the heap in my books...

Could you delete this thread steve? I'm disappointed in how it's degenerated into same old same old

I understand. I kind of agree with you but I don't think anybody can think of any modern guitar players that ring a bell.
Guitar virtuosos tend to fly under the radar in popular music.
I'll give it a little while, and if you still want I will take it down. You know what happens when the gipper gets involved.

John Mayer is probably the most well known. The guy is a blues virtuoso and belongs in the same conversation as Clapton, Joe Walsh. The fact that he can also make top 40 music is a testament to his breadth as a musician.
Another really talented guitarist is Orianthi. She had some top 40 hits about 5 years ago, but has fallen off the map. She was going to be the guitarist for Michael Jackson's tour before he died.
Jake Cinninger of Umphrey's McGee is very talented. They're my favorite band at the moment, and they've got one of the best lighting guys in the industry for their live shows.

i agree...and you are talking some pretty good talent in clapton and big joe...i love joe walsh...my wife and i don't go to many big arena concerts anymore...we usually support the local musicians in our area which are pretty good..however, i saw that joe walsh is touring with bad company..don't know if joe is replacing mick ralphs with bad company or if joe is the opening act or vise versa...guess i'll follow the tour on google to see whats up...but my wife likes walsh also and likes bad company....

last yr alice cooper opened for motley crue which announced this was their last tour...hard to believe alice would open for anyone, but from what i understand, and i am not sure of this but alice highly promoted motley crue from the get go. he really liked them...so i can see the reason he opened...crue's last tour ever, he promoted them etc etc...makes sense...i pulled up a video of alice on that tour and he had a female guitarist in the band..guess that was who you guys are talking about...didn't know her name until now if that was her....i'll tell you what, she was incredible...that is all i can say...

Mayer is definitely on my short list.

Tim reynolds plays a weird style but id be hard pressed to say he wasn't pretty great on an acoustic -
Speaking of great acoustic players I really love this guy
