have you heard the early solo crap? If you want sloppy look no further

I just realised how ridiculously random this list is, its too long, the bloke from Yo La Tengo If i had to list 200 guitarists i'd be scraping the bottom of the barrel too...

I've been listening to some wanky blues guitar music recently (specifially Texas Flood). I can actually live with this, nobody makes it sound as effortless as him and in improvisational terms Vaughn is like a bebop musician, except he only has one scale to work with and erm.. has to be melodic. It's a rare case of guitar music where I can just appreciate the technical prowess of a player, usually I demand a decent song framework but it's hard to mess up with the blues.

Guitarist with a soul, plus he was in Procol Harum and knows how to pull a guitar face


Guitarist without a soul, loves guitars similar to how men love cars, there are thousands of fat kids shut away in their rooms right now playing along to power metal records lining up to follow this wanker into the guiness book of records and artistic oblivion. It's just practice. Years of constant practice and sh*t music. I just can't relate to this at all, it's like the musical equivalent of a dumb blonde skank.
