This poll is about different kind of players and styles that I like a lot and have a lot of different tastes in the history of music. SCOTTY MOORE: more known for his work in the early Elvis Presley's records. He is the first "white" lead guitarist famous and influenced several rock and roll players. His solo in Too Much is considered groundbreaking. JOE PERRY: Aerosmith is one of those bands that just keep sounding better and better. Joe Perry is a key part for their sound and he just play flawlessly. You can pick any solo and you'll hear a lot of different styles in one. ERIC CLAPTON: need no introduction. But besides his work in Cream I dig a lot in his 80's songs, in which he balanced his blues influences into a more rock and pop oriented style. Wonderful guitar solos. My favorite song of him is Pretending. RICHIE SAMBORA: maybe a lot of proggies "hate" hims for been the lead guitarist of Bon Jovi, but his acoustic compositions and his bluessy style merge into crystal-clear glam solos in the best version of Eddy Van Halen is impressive. His solo album Undiscovered Soul is really impressive in the composition matter. MIKE MCCREADY: an amazing, acrobatic but relaxed guitar player of Pearl Jam is one of those musicians that are able to play a lot of styles and technically is really impressive what he is able to do. MICHAEL EINZIGER: famous in alternative rock audience for being guitar player of Incubus, this guy is a great musician more focused in effects and do more with less. I like him a lot for a more contemporary kind of sound. Please, don't vote for the most progressive. Vote for the one you like the most. Your comments are really appreciated. ------------- |

Joe Perry from this list-- a true rock guitarist and as you say, his playing is flawless, and not in the sterile way Clapton's became. Perry kept his balls. |

You have a good point. I love the work of Clapton but somewhere I stop listening to him. No more rock from him. You're right. ------------- |

Stopped reading at "Aerosmith is one of those bands that just keep sounding better and better". -------------  Time always wins. |

I meant that the band don't keep sounding like they were in the 80's... they are evolved and their actual sound is NOT dated. If you like it or not is more of a matter of taste, isn't? ------------- |

Sambora is the epitome of average. I've heard fourteen-year-olds play better than him. Perry was great at phrasing but not at anything else. If you want to hear really good pentatonic soloing, it's better to listen to a good blues guitar player than him. I don't have any strong opinion on the other three, but in my mind none can top Clapton, whose emotion, delivery, phrasing, and touch were all impeccable, besides the fact that he's the best technical guitar player here. ------------- I love dogs, I've always loved dogs |

Thanks for commenting. I do believe you are not familiar with Sambora's work outside of Bon Jovi, because he can play like Eddy Van Halen if he wants to and then he plays a lot of acoustic tunes with a lot of soul and his technic is quite clear. Now, McCready is not limited technically and he is quite weird doing a lot of different stuff and have a unique sound for him. I invite you to hear a couple of his track just to see how it fits to you... OK? ------------- |

No, I wasn't aware that Sambora did much of anything outside Bon Jovi. I'll check some of his stuff out. I've enjoyed what Pearl Jam I've heard but have never been particularly struck by McCready's playing. Could you post some of the songs you think best exemplify his ability? ------------- I love dogs, I've always loved dogs |

The video doesn't appear right? well, I will leave you couple of videos of some solos that are really cool. The first one is more like Hendrix-ish, durty and crazy. The second one is more intense and obscure. I hope you get the chance to appreciate it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qM0zINtulhM&ob=av2n http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=RKCuaA5pmtA ------------- |

I'll go with McCready on this one, I love his early 90's stuff.
Of course Clapton is Clapton!! |

Do you like any other besides of Clapton? I'm curious... ------------- |

I like Einziger. The others are all fine just nothing really to write home about. Not a fan of Bon Jovi but Sambora has some feel and can make all those fun sounds  Well I can't say I'm too familiar with Moore. |

Yeap, I will post some song of Elvis Presley just to show that concept of easy going rockabilly with bluessy influences. But I'm too lazy right now... ------------- |
