 Topic: Your favourite early prog guitarist?
Posted: October 02 2014 at 14:43 |
Simple question, though hard to answer...
Greg Lake and Peter Hammill obviously don't count, since Lake was the "bass" part of a trio that rarely used the guitar, and Hammill's guitar playing is also rare.
No Magma as well, only because I can't keep up with their guitarists... Sorry...

Trower, whose work is too often overlooked, maybe because his best material is outside the progosphere.

Jan Akkerman one of the very best. Doesn't get enough recognition.

Too many great ones to choose from. Martin Barre and Andy Latimer would get my vote, for personal reasons, even though I know neither will will this poll.

Oldfield, Latimer, then Hackett. Roger Hodgson does seem a tad outclassed in this company.LOL

If we're talking early here, why don't we include Jimi Hendrix in the discussion?
