Topic: remarkable guitar players

About guitar players you can recognise instant, because of their exceptional way to approach their guitar:
- PETE TOWNSEND (THE WHO) playing the guitar with his arm similar to a windmill.
- JIMI HENDRIX: played guitar as it was a piece of himself, using his teeth, and much more

This are maybe the 2 most remarkable players, but are there other players?

Re: remarkable guitar players

I nominate any Dobro players, you know the guys in country bands who play a regular guitar flat with all the chords fron ontop (upside down basicly).

I'm also intrigued by a guitar John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin plays with 3 bass strings and 5 regular strings on it, must take skill.

I'm also in awe of Seasick Stevie, who gets a rockin sound out of a broken 335 which has only 3 random strings.

Speaking of dobro players, have alook and listen to Jerry Douglas. Many call him the Jimi Hendrix of the dobro. I think he's incredible! See for yourself;

I always favored Booker White.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0jRX69mxcE  Jerry Douglas is excellent though! I just like Bookers style! Peace!
