Jimi Hendrix
Eddie Van Halen
Steve Vai

To a lesser extent Yngwie comes after EVH but they were the ones that actually shaped the sound and style of hard rock !

Not sure who the latest flavour of the month is - I suspect it’s still Steve Vai - I’ll look into it.

Didn't Tommy Vance use 'Eruption' as a filler on his rock show? Three outstanding guitarists-they carried on where Hendrix left off and as good as Page/Iommi/Blackmore were back then I don't believe they had the same impact. Incidentally who is the new kid on the block? Miles Rod,

Tragically Jason was struck down with a paralyzing disease, he cannot move or speak now - a tragedy What’s yours, I’d love to know.

You tube has got an amazing library of videos-just searching for McLaughlin/Shakti unearthed some real diamonds. Miles Rod,

I'm loving it myself - do yourself a favour and go to YouTube - search for your favourite guitarists and bands - it's staggering. I must be great learning today, when I think I used to site there lifting record needles back and back all the time. Waiting for Guitar Player Magazine to come from America etc etc. Now you can go on the net, download songs, download the guitar tab for it - brilliant. Yesterday I sat here and watched video clips on YouTube of Paul Gilbert then Yngwie Malmsteen giving guitar lessons ! Keep it Up and keep us updated as to how it's going Rod Stunning photograph btw Rock On Dude \m/ :)
