The usual pile of ****e is on the TV so I have gone back through the recording on the telly box and found the Guitar Hero's episode of Later with Jools Holland.

Blinding and this little gem was awesome.

`The king of surf guitar!`, He was the main man in the US surf scene back in the 60`s

Jools has some great stuff and somewhere I have a Guitar Heroes with Hendrix and my all time favourite, Peter Green

Ive seen Peter Green Live, When he came out of hiding 10-15 years back with the Splinter group, Got all the early Blue Horizon F.Mac LP`s too but nothing after he left, Fantastic blues guy

Saw most of the guitar greats in the early 70's. The only really great missing was Hendrix...he died the year I went to uni.

Nice choice David, That is a Stellar lineup on that LP A Hard Road, Ive got the 1st one with clapton after he left the yardbirds got jack bruce on it too...The rest is history, lol

Loved all of the guys on the show, Peter Green just sublime.
But for sheer youthful talent and demonstration of the versatility of the guitar, Rodrigo y Gabriela get my vote.

Would have watched this had it included bass players. 60s/70s I struggle with because I just don't know who's who, although I've been rocking to AC/DC tonight on my bass! (Only been playing 6weeks).

Watched a you tube vid of John Entwistle doing a solo before 'my generation' I think it was and bloody hell!!

If you've just taken up the bass, maybe John 'Thunderfingers' Entwistle is gonna be a hard act to follow, The guy was in a league if his own, Was it 'The Ox' by any chance, lol, My Generation 50th anniversary next year!!...and my 40th this year, lol

David Lock

Just a kid then

Ellie*

Yes I know John Entwistle is one of the greatest bass players of all time, and yes, it was 'The Ox'.
I'm not naive or deluded enough to even aspire to play like him. I happy just playing the music I like listening to.

And my 30th was this year, so you don't need the patronising attitude towards me.

SiPie

For those that have mentioned peter green in this thread.

Don't go and see him live now unless you want to be sorely disappointed. He's obviously just hanging in there needing the cash, just doing the very basics (and not very well)

Truly sad

Real hero of mine and wish I'd never gone to see him

Ellie*

Me or him?

If it was aimed at me, see above post.

yep born in `74 and i`d say about 95% my vinyl pre-dates when i was bron with a few exceptions,

No patronising or condescending attitude Ellie, David having a joke with me i expect We are just chatting about music, Nor was i implying you are deluded, Its great you have heard of JE nevermind being inspired enugh to pick up a bass, Most people born in the 80`s wouldnt have a clue who he is,

I saw him back in `97, In his first tour since his breakdonw in the 70`s, Cozy Powell on drums too

Saw Peter Green some years ago and he was really good, albeit a little out of it at times. Though some of his stuff is a little weird Jeff Beck has to be one of the best of all time.

David Lock

Please young lady. My ageist post was just below Gaz's so of course not directed at you. Chill please.

David

David Lock

Absolutely agree. A bloated drug wrecked shadow of what he was. So sad.

I sometimes listen to Gary Moore playing some of those old classics and he is very, very good.

Legendary guitar player playing a legendary tune...

Cant have that without the original,


Great Beatles tune, Written by George Harrison and performed by Eric Clapton who got no credit on the LP...those were the days

Possibly the coolest lyric in any song, "If my baby don't love me no more, I know her Sister will"

Chilled!
Apologies for getting knickers in an twist!

Hendrix is awesome without a doubt the best in his genre amongst so many others which are all mainly British and a similar age, lol, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton all played in the Yardbirds though not all at the same time,

I got such a varied taste its unbelievable

dpb...He makes that look too easy
