I feel that a discussion of melodic guitar players should always include Steve Rothery of Marillion :)

Loving this thread!!

There's also the studio legend era -- Ala Larry Carlton and Lee Ritenour who spiced things up on so many commercial hits.

There are so, so many important players in regards to "soloists". I feel like y'all missed a bunch of really important ones... I have a new favourite every day haha

Steve Morse, Marty Freidman, Paul Gilbert, Yngwie Malmsteen, Danny Gatton, Brian Setzer
Tommy Emmanuel, Tuck Andress, Les Paul, Joe Bonnamassa, Ritchie Blackmore, Joe Pass, Lenny Breau, Nuno Bettencourt, Frank Gambale, Steve Vai, Jason Becker, Tony MacAlpine, and Guthrie Govan. Ooo don't forget Mike Stern, Shawn Lane and Allan Holdsworth. Steve Howe, Greg Howe and Jeff Healy. Colin James. Lenny Breau.

Miles Davis doesn't seem to get much mention in these parts, but where I went to school it was required listening and Study material; his "So What" solo is a masterpiece. Charlie Christian and Wes Montgomery need some kind of mention...

I notice country music and rockabilly doesn't get much traction here either...

Chet Atkins, Danny Gatton, Brian Setzer, Jerry Reed, the Hellecasters, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, Brent Mason all worth mentioning...

My favourites; J.S Bach and N. Paganini

Lol there are so, so many great players of past and present...

This song has a nice guitar solo in it that really adds dynamics as well as melody to the music, in my opinion. The guitarists name is Tommy Sanchez, though he is hardly the focal point of the group. The stars of this group are Mars Williams and his horn section. Still the rest of the musicians know what's up! Solo starts about 2:57. He uses 2 very different styles so it is more like 2 solos that are back to back.

Hope somebody likes it. I sure do!

Mike

PS. still can't figure out the correct embed or sharing process. :oops:
