Not known for his "lyricism", I've always found this solo of Fripp's to be very melodic.

That was awesome! I haven't thought about Eric Johnson in years, and I have absolutely no idea why! I love, love, love his style, and he is sooooo very much the melodic master. [Checks wikipedia to make sure he's not dead.]
Quote:
Guitar Player magazine has called Johnson "one of the most respected guitarists on the planet".[3]

Whew! Still alive. Man, who else am I totally forgetting?

By the way, Pat Metheny! That's great stuff. And as Steve A mentioned, every single one of those guys, to doubly include BB King!

Beck of course! And Glenn came in with the Steve Hackett, which was damn good stuff. I gotta get caught up in reverse order. I keep getting distracted with all this good stuff. Mick Ronson! and then Ziggy Stardust has me back on a Bowie remembrance Youtube nostalgia tour.

I bring you now the Santana :twisted: :

10. Slash



The Godfather Theme was surprisingly powerful, and melodic! Didn't see that one coming.

Yep, good times for me as a music listener, never again did I have the same kind of care free time to listen to music as when I was growing up. And the songs used to take their time too, slowly developing from one thing to the other, tell a story. That's what I really liked about Mark's playing, storytelling with a guitar. Really cool thread Steve :)
