These are all great choices. Obviously you play yourself (right?).

Thank you for mentioning Adrian Belew. Incredible, incredible talent. His solo on "Ruiner" haunts me for life.

Keeping It Simple · 02.20.2012, 01:13 PM

Here are some of my personal favourites:

Andy Gill - Gang Of Four
Julian Swales - Kitchens Of Distinction
Robin Guthrie - Cocteau Twins
Ray Hanson - Thee Hypnotics
Terry Bickers - The House Of Love
Kevin "Geordie" Walker - Killing Joke

atari 2600 · 02.20.2012, 01:13 PM

thanks for the feedback, Severian

yep, play

all kinds of stuff

was jamming out "Station to Station" and a bunch of other stuff last night after that 500th Simpsons ep.

had fun too with Prince's piano ballad "Condition of the Heart" from Around the World in a Day
- cool arrangement for guitar (with handy chord definitions) here:
http://www.azchords.com/p/prince-311...rt-233800.html

great Bowie songs tab site:
http://www.lovebolts.co.uk/david_bowie/
(guy's also apparently a big Springsteen and Billy Joel fan)

Belew is great on Lodger and as one of Bowie's many outstanding touring guitarists.
He's also fine on Laurie Anderson's Mister Heartbreak. And of course on a lot of the King Crimson stuff with Fripp too.

Dude McDude · 02.20.2012, 01:19 PM

How about that guitarist Andy Gill? Without him Albini wouldn't play guitar for shit. There probably wouldn't be any post new wave funk/punk breeds like Franz Ferdinand either.

Dude McDude · 02.20.2012, 01:20 PM

Keeping it simple beat me to it, haha!

So HE'S the guy playing on "Look back in anger"? I love that song so much after hearing it in a movie. Great song. Great solo. Great drumming too. Great great. Great.

Great minds think alike.

Think that's actually Carlos Alomar's 16-bar solo on "Look Back in Anger" but Belew is on it too.

And then per the Bowie/Eno "Oblique Strategies" card-dealing production methods on the so-called "Berlin Trilogy," it's actually Alomar on drums on "Boys Keep Swingin'," but that one does feature an incredible Belew outro solo for the last minute and a half or so.

Curious but nice choice.

Ian Mackaye (completely underrated)

gmku · 02.20.2012, 09:57 PM

Still can't think of any.

E. Noisefield · 02.20.2012, 10:04 PM

Isaac Brock always seemed like he had unacknowledged skill. Is he "good good" from a musician's perspective?

I am neither a musician nor a particular Modest Mouse fan, but there are a couple of songs where theres some proper good guitar work such as this

gmku · 02.20.2012, 10:31 PM

Grant Green of Blue Note label fame was pretty good.

Pretty much every guitar player who contributed in some way to making a record that sold well or later became a cult favorite between 1965 and 2011 is my favorite guitar player, in a way.

I realize that covers a lot of ground, but I believe that's some very fertile ground that I've covered very concisely.
