April 30th WristScan 'Favorite Guitarists' is now off and running! . . .

 
 By: Dr No : April 30th, 2021-15:05
. . . let's share our idols this weekend along with the watch currently on our wrist. Most of you know that my passion for the Stones exceeds that for watches and pool, so you'd expect Keith . . . . . . to be my fave, and you'd be right. But you'd be wron...  

Technically, Joe Satriani is one of the best. Now, my tastes are quite eclectic. I love Flamenco guitarists, such as Paco de Lucia. Or some Rock Guitarists and then the choice is large.

 
 By: amanico : April 30th, 2021-15:26
Steve Stevens, Rick Ocasek, John Frusciante ( Red Hot Chili Peppers ) are among those who come to my mind, right now. Of course, we could add some legends such as Eric Clapton. I also like Cat Stevens a lot! Among all these rock Guitarists, it would be a ...  

I've mentioned this before in passing, but since you've brought up Steve . . .

 
 By: Dr No : April 30th, 2021-15:58
. . . it's worth passing along again: I ran into him at a café on Sunset about five or six years ago. Would've asked him for a photo especially for you, Nicolas, but didn't out of respect for his privacy. Also one of my favorites. ...  

Pretty sure he lives here . . .

 
 By: Dr No : April 30th, 2021-16:04
. . . and I know people who know people. So maybe.

One of us knows him....

 
 By: amanico : April 30th, 2021-16:05

Well, I never actually met him, I was just at the same café . . .

 
 By: Dr No : April 30th, 2021-16:06
. . . where he was having late-night supper with his family. But if you know him, all the better.

Ah, one of . . .

A drummer.... ;)

Oh, that guy! I had someone else . . .

 
 By: Dr No : April 30th, 2021-16:18
. . . in mind. ;-)

I was thinking of California Jed . . .

 
 By: Dr No : April 30th, 2021-16:32
. . . who happens to be in the entertainment field. He posted a picture once of himself with Gene Simmons.

Ah yes!!!!

We share the love for the 1675 reference and Paco de Lucia ...

... wizardry with his guitar dear Nicolas! But you always scare the hell out of me each time you share that Devilish shot of your GMT!! 🤣🤣🤣 Buen fin de semana mi amigo! Abrazos!! Abel

It is my favorite instrument and there are a lot of great players. If I have to say one, Paco de Lucia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqMfv5IVeZc

 
 By: aWtchslvr : April 30th, 2021-15:56
When I was a chlid I was raptured when seeing my brother playing the spanish guitar. As an ACDC admirer, I want to mention Angus Young. Great weekend to everybody. ...  

Good choice!

 
 By: amanico : April 30th, 2021-15:57

Thanks . . .

 
 By: Dr No : April 30th, 2021-16:03

Laurent may be gone . . .

 
 By: Dr No : April 30th, 2021-16:44
. . . but not forgotten, Pierre. His passion for UG foreshadowed its current popularity. As for guitarists: Clapton's on everyone's top ten list. Saw him perform once, but even better, drove next to him for a mile or two east on Sunset Boulevard many year...

Not only the best string wizard

 
 By: Weems@8 : April 30th, 2021-17:02
He is the best artist in my opinion. Clapton. Erik, slow hand. Above Bowie Above Mercury Above Steve Above Hendrix Above Bonamassa Above anything. The king of the super band Cream.

No ambivalence here! . . .

 
 By: Dr No : April 30th, 2021-17:09
. . . and the watch on your wrist, Weems?

Classima

 
 By: Weems@8 : April 30th, 2021-17:41
A simple watch from Baume and Mercier.

Lorenzo Micheli

 
 By: mhz vph : April 30th, 2021-17:13
The greatest classical player of all time in my opinion. He is my main role model and source of inspiration for my playing. There are faster and louder players (both of which are technically demanding in classical) but he has the phrasing and articulation...  

Another guitarist I've never encountered . . .

 
 By: Dr No : April 30th, 2021-17:17
. . . before. Fabulous player. Reminds me . . . . . . of Sigi.

Sigi is far more versatile

 
 By: mhz vph : April 30th, 2021-17:24

Duane? He was . . .

I still can't get over Jimi playing to a nearly deserted audience . . .

 
 By: Dr No : April 30th, 2021-23:10
. . . at Woodstock. He was the headliner, but due to delays he didn't come on stage 'til dawn Monday. Surreal . . .

I see a revival of Vinyl and other old school things lately.

Fun theme this week, Art!

My fave guitarist has to be Slash🤨🎸. He’s so many things that I am not and rips on the guitar. GnR ushered out the trash that was hair metal (though it looked liked fun, I was too young to indulge in the excesses of the time). In honor of Slash, I present...

Excellent video my friend, made my day .

Great watch pairing too .

Had two brief conversations with Slash: once in the kitchen of The Rainbow Bar and Grill . . .

Eddie's technical mastery on guitar . . .

 
 By: Dr No : May 1st, 2021-12:45
. . . matches John's with a lathe. Top of their respective games, both. Not many have tapped metal/glam guitarists in this thread yet. My favorite might be Tom Keifer. Never saw either Cinderella or Van Halen in concert. Regrets aplenty . . .

Thanks Art!

I would go further: Led Zeppelin was the most accomplished band, of all time.

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : May 1st, 2021-10:13
Only band where lyrics and music went together in perfect harmony. Needles to say, that they are everyday on my mind ...

You hit all the high notes, Boris - that's quite the list, and . . .

 
 By: Dr No : May 1st, 2021-10:42

Highway to Hell, Back in Black and For Those about to Rock are seminal albums from my youth. '79, '80 & '81 the peak for me of ACDC! That music sticks with one for a lifetime. Memory Lane is good today ;-) Cheers, Tim

. . . so here's a fresh early morning photo for you. 1948 Omega ref 2499, popularly known as The Centenary, the first auto chronometer ever. And for your eyes only: last night at The Rainbow . . . . . . with friends. Our table was reserved for Judy Garlan...

Who thought that, but if I let it sink in a while then it makes sense 😀. That is a lovely 2499😍.

Well, it was known as . . .

. . . The Villa Nova back then, under different ownership. Garland passed away a few years before the restaurant transitioned to The Rainbow under current ownership of the Magliere family. Oh, and played every night at closing: . . . . . . and in keeping ... 

Yes!... and what a vocalist!

I'd forgotten, Count. How right . . .

. . . you are. ;-)

As far as Guitars go I've just shown the two I have (Ibanez RG550 and the Seafoam green Brian May Guild reissue). I do have some other pics of the Guild but the Ibanez is not

currently with me for more pics. The Guild Brian May was made in two technically different versions. Mine if from the 2nd batch. Not many made. More red ones were made than the green. And back to guitarists, I'd like to add Frank Zappa to my list. Pull up...  

Wow, superb.

Thanks. The action on it is excellent and as you go up the fretboard its one of the most tonally accurate guitars I've played. Lots of tone options too as each pick-up can

be switched in or out of phase. If you aren't familiar with the details of Brian and his dad building the Red Special its a story that's worth looking up. I don't believe either had been to luthier school.

Now that’s a hard one...

I generally look at a band as a whole, so that bit of the answer will be a bit of a challenge. But in a good sporting spirit, let’s say Mark Knopfler from Dire Straits. As for watch, that’s easier: Have a great weekend, Art! Will be as close to your ances...  

Knopfler is one of the all-time greats, K. Here's a clip of Mark . . .
