From Jimi Hendrix to Jack White, Kurt Cobain to Scotty Moore. (Almost) all of your favorite guitarists are here in one lens.
In August of 2003, Rolling Stone published their list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Players of All Time. This is a series of SquidVids lenses bringing together videos on all of the guitarists on the list. I'll include the top rated video from YouTube.com that I can find.
And now you can let everyone know who your favorite guitarist is; even if they're not on the list list. Scroll down to enter your favorite.
This is Volume One in a series of lenses that will cover all of the 100 greatest guitar players on the list. See Volume 2

Do you remember "The Shadows" with Hank Marvin? A wonderful guitarist with "Do You Wanna Dance," "Apache," "Telstar" & "Sleepwalk" plus many more songs to his credit. He is featured on YouTube many times if you want to have a look. I have lensrolled your lens to my Maureen O'Hara lens whose songs, though not "rock" songs, really rock. 5 stars, favorite. I'll be back - really enjoyed this and other lenses by you! Posted May 04, 2008 |
