Great post, will have to get round sometime to doing something similar for my favourite female vocalists, along with the Youtube links where available.

Great post!!
Guitar based music forms the core of most of what I listen to.
Jeff Beck - apart from his early stuff - the 'Guitar Shop' album is brilliant
A few others (perhaps less well known) worth checking out:
Lonnie Johnson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSa_JluRs4E
Roy Buchanan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zluml...eature=related
Kelly Joe Phelps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFtiG...eature=related
One of my desert island discs would be 'Lead Me On' by this man
Martin Simpson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZRd6...eature=channel
Watch this one to the end. I went to see him perform the other month in his hometown of Scunthorpe (not something too many people boast about!). He was incredible - perhaps one of the best guitarists I've seen.
Frank Marino: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5vwf...eature=related
Went to see him on a whim at Hammersmith Odeon (as was) - walked away in a daze as I'd just heard a man play a guitar & make it sound just like a church organ!
Just a few, but there is so much more.................
I was at the Same Frank Marnio gig Good concertQuote:

Hi Andy
I been listening to Kelly Joe Phelps he is a really good song writer; thanks for turning me onto something new! Well at least new to me!!
You should go & see him when you get a chance. He never plays any song the same way twice.Quote:

A great performer & player.
Glad to enlighten your life - even if just for a few moments!!!!!
Another player I really like is Robert Lucas - his albums were released by Audioquest & are that rare thing that is an audiophile recording of decent music!
Cheers
I just thought some of the people who enjoyed, or got something out of this thread might like to try reading:
'Guitar Man' by Will Hodgkinson
Bloomsbury Publishing PLC (20 Mar 2006)
ISBN-10: 0747577455
ISBN-13: 978-0747577454
It's a great read - the story of how the author made a bet with friends that he could become proficient enough on the guitar within 6 months to give a public performance to paying punters. During his 6 months he managed to get tips & real lessons from Roger McGuinn, Les Paul, Bert Jansch, Davey Graham, James Williamson, Johnny Marr, T-Model Ford and others. He actually went to Robert Johnson's crossroads (but with no luck on the Beelzebub front!).
He's frustrated by his mate, who's had no lessons from anyone - ever, but is a natural. "You just kinda feel it, man".
Great book, great story. It's also very funny. He did a follow-up called 'Song Man' along similar lines about songwriting.
