Ok Guys,
Following on from Cpt Azads thread on your "greatest guitarists" it occured to me that I had not heard of half of them (I am 56 and used to be a muso in the 70's).
So I have compiled this list from the thread and would kindly ask you to fill in the gaps for me. I just need the band the guitarist is/was in and one or 2 songs that show off their best work.
Please keep the replies short and gentlemanly - this is just a "facts" thread and then I will update (edit the list as it develops) it.
Then we can all listen to some of these great songs !
Regards
