    We're in Edinburgh at the moment and saw a guy in the street on the Royal Mile last night playing a Brian May special and he was awesomely good. Attracted a huge crowd of people.

    I’d never heard of him until now !
    Not a bad CV …. Mayall band and Canned Heat.
    Bob Hite deserves a mention therefore … a real “heavy” solo in Amphetamine Annie was one of my most played tunes in the 60/70’s

    I was watching some live clips of Rush the other day actually. Unbelievable how just 3 musicians could fill out arenas which such a rich sound.

    Joint recognition must go to the 2 lead guitarists in Wishbone Ash.

    Argus is a masterpiece of double guitar magnificence ( chuffing hell ..I just made that up )

    Are we allowed a few different guitarists ??

    Alvin Lee hasn’t been mentioned yet has he ?

    Jose Feliciano didn’t need a plug but sure could play

    He was an incredible guitarist, and died far too young.

    I've said before that in my opinion Steve Rothery is one of the most underrated guitarists.
    His solo album Ghosts of Pripyat was brilliant.
