Respect to the Late/Great Gary Moore. My pick today(#4 Guitarists' all-time): DAVE MENIKETTI. Fronting Y&T from the beginning. Dave had it all- blues licks,power,tone for days + a damn good singer! A band that should have been bigger but; the last remaining original member-Dave stands tall!!! My favorite solo,groove,riff? A song deeper in the bands catalog & overlooked: 21st Century. 🇺🇲 🎸🔥.

Fu Manchu did not open the Clutch show in AC and that really sucked. The good news is Fu Manchu did open in Hampton Beach a week and a half later and they were great. But I would take COC over Fu Manchu every day of the week! (Both bands are great)

Hi people, pick #4 it is, and my main selection today is yet another double act that simply can't be separated. In fact, they've been inseparable since birth seeing as they're brothers and I am, yet again, claiming them as fellow Scots, as they're from Glasgow originally. If they want to be Australian, that's up to them. Angus and Malcolm Young of AC/DC I won't bang on about "first gig I ever went to" again, but by the time I saw them that night in 82 I had both of Brian's albums by then, and about half of Bon's. Angus just has to brush a fingernail over one string on that signature SG and you know it's him, and if there was a better rhythm guitarist in hard rock than the late, great Malcolm Young, then I'm struggling to name one... As for three albums that epitomise this wonderful sibling partnership, I'll go... Let There Be Rock Highway To Hell Back In Black Predictable? Maybe, but then AC/DC always were: predictably, reliably unique. As for a single track to highlight this chemistry I was tempted to pick my go-to DC number, Riff Raff for that killer build up and then that total ear worm of a riff, but just for variety I'll go for a song from the same album and say... "Sin City" from Powerage. I'm going in... Today's HM is an Irish guitarist, plucked from relative obscurity to stand alongside a vocal colossus, and the young man's brain must have exploded, given that said colossus' previous axe slinging partners went by the names of Iommi and Blackmore... Vivian Campbell of DIO, DEF LEPPARD, SHADOWKING, RIVERDOGS, LAST IN LINE and, before Dio, SWEET SAVAGE He so nearly made my final 30, and to illustrate why, my song choices for Viv are: DIO - Rainbow In The Dark SHADOWKING - Don't Even Know I'm Alive RIVERDOGS - Rain Rain LAST IN LINE - Starmaker *** ADVANCE WARNING - I WILL BE AWAY FOR THE WEEKEND, STARTING THIS AFTERNOON SO MY USUAL APOLOGIES IF I'M ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH MY REPLIES AND REACTIONS. AS ALWAYS, I'LL TRY! BACK TO NORMAL ON MONDAY ALL BEING WELL. ***

#4 Steve Morse. favorite albums High Tension Wires, Unsung Heroes (Dixie Dregs), What If (Dixie Dregs). Favorite song: there are so many, two hands aren't enough to count them. But for argument's sake, let's just say "Cruise Control."

So far I'm 2 for 2 on Pete's top 5.😂 I'm guessing tomorrow is Michael Schenker. 2 will be Iommi and 1 will be Blackmore

I haven't listened to this yet because I lost interest a bit after EFMB and especially Human || Nature. I ought to give it a try though. Floor is a supreme vocalist, but I go back a lot to Once and Dark Passion Play.

Hi Pete & everyone. Dave here. Terrific pick of yours. Gary left us way too soon. I particularly liked him in Colosseum II, who were brilliant live btw. My picks are now down to my 70s guitar heroes. Today it's JAN AKKERMAN, guitar wizard in Dutch band Focus, together with Thijs Van Leer (flute, keys). Loved Jan's mix of tasteful melodic playing, and ferocious jazz fusion. Albums (all Focus): Moving Waves (1971), Focus 3 (1972), Hamburger Concerto (1974). Tracks/ solos (can't limit it to one): Tommy, Hocus Pocus, Sylvia, Birth, P'S March.

4. Jimmy Page Led Zeppelin II, Led Zeppelin IV, Physical Graffiti Solo: Since I've Been Loving You

Who will be Number three?

Good one going with Gary Check out Gary and BB King on KZbin sometime before you want to see some great soloing. There's about a 10-minute version of them just just ripping Pick number for today is my Google circle it is Mr Terry Kath The tricky part here is going down to focusing on his albums of his playing not his singing along with his performance 1. CTA debut Chicago Transit authority 2. Chicago II 3. CHICAGO VII FAVORITE GUITAR PERFORMANCES 1. CHICAGO VI REDISCOVERY PLAY SOME AMAZING AWESOME WAH PEDAL GUITAR WORK 2. WELL I WOULD SAY IS LEGENDARY SOLO ON 25 OR 6 TO 4 I'M GOING TO GO WITH CHICAGO VIII FROM 1975 His completely awesome tribute to one of his guitar idols Jimi Hendrix. On the phenomenal thank you great spirit

Ritchie Blackmore - Machine Head Lazy Can't help myself! Everybody loved the shit out of this album, including me.

The beginning of my MT. Rushmore Four…So agonizing making the order; these guys mean something to me. #4 Johnny Marr 1. MESSENGER; 2. BOOMSLANG; 3. (The Smiths)?MEAT IS MURDER. Favorite guitar work ( this was painful): THE QUEEN IS DEAD (Live version on The Smiths’ RANK album).

1. Kansas 2. King crimson

Greetings from Sweden !

1.Jettro tull 2. Judas Priest

If any Gary Moore fans haven’t seen it just type his name and Hold Onto Love 1984 into KZbin. When I first heard the studio version it wasn’t my favourite, well it was a single so maybe that was part of it, but this version recorded for BBC Sight & Sound in Concert has a superb second solo which is unfortunately faded out on the studio recorded version. I listen to it loads ! 🇬🇧

Love the Gary Moore pick, Pete! My No. 4 of all time is Michael Schekner. Top Performances: Lights Out, Doctor Doctor, Armed And Ready, All The Way From Memphis 30. Joe Bonamassa 29. Dave Murray 28. Chris DeGarmo 27. Paul Chapman 26. Brian May 25. Ulrich “Uli Jon” Roth 24. Steve Morse 23. Tony MacAlpine 22. Alex Lifeson 21. Scott Gorham 20. Glen Campbell 19. Warren DiMartini 18. Richie Blackmore 17. Vivian Campbell 16. Eric Johnson 15. Neal Schon 14. Wolf Hoffman 13. Glen Tipton 12. Adrian Vandenberg 11. George Lynch 10. Matthias Jabs 9. Joe Satriani 8. Gary Moore 7. John Petrucci 6. Steve Vai 5. Yngwie Malmsteen 4. Michael Schenker

4. David Gilmour (Pink Floyd, solo) Pink Floyd - Animals David Gilmour - David Gilmour Pink Floyd - The Wall Solo(s): Comfortably Numb

Well said Pete. It's just another form of bullying. Arnel has gone above and beyond since joining the band. To the haters, like you said, go try it yourself or go find yourself a hobby and get over yourselves.

#4 for me is Jimi Hendrix. I have no doubt that in a hundred years from now, the music of Jimi Hendrix will remain just as relevant as the day he wrote it. Favorites include: Purple Haze, Fire, Crosstown Traffic, Voodoo Child (Slight Return), Spanish Castle Magic, and my all time fav song Little Wing.

My pick today is a guitarist who first came to prominence at the end of the 1960s and with his band established a style of music and distinctive guitar sound all his own. A mixture of blues, rock, jazz and Latin rhythms, the one and only CARLOS SANTANA. There is nobody can sound exactly like Carlos, like all great players he has an immediately identifiable style, so fluid and with that sweet tone. For me, one of the ultimate summer bands to listen to. Albums Santana S/T III Moonflower Solo For once I'm going to pick a cover, She's Not There from Moon flower. The Zombies original is great, of course, but this cover is also excellent and when Carlos 'explodes' in the solos, he shreds and owns the track.

Bruce Springsteen - The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle, Born to Run, Darkness On the Edge of Town - Kitty's Back

Damn, I missed the stream again! Anyway, my favourite Soundtrack albums are 1 Almost Famous 2000 2 FM 1978 3 Battle of Britain 1969 4 Star Wars 1977 5 Shaft 1971

Gary Moore the Belfast boy who played blues, hard rock, celtic rock & jazz rock. I am always proud to know that Northern Ireland gave us the great Gary & The Republic of Ireland gave us the mighty Rory Gallagher. Two gifted musicians who sadly passed too young.

4. Brian Robertson - Thin Lizzy, Motorhead, Wild Horses. Sadly after the Another Perfect Day album, he only recorded sporadically.

You are really great at picking the awesome guitarists in the music world and Gary Moore is a great pick and i think I'll also pick him also as well either as a solo performer or with a band he has been in several but he is a really great guitarist thanks again Pete.🎶🎶 🇬🇧🎸🎸🇬🇧

He revitalized music in the late 70's for me with Back on the Streets. Love this guy also.

Thanks Pete. So good your presentation.

0:21 pick #4

Today's pick is not my number one, but he's probably been the biggest influence on my own playing - George Lynch. My favorite albums are Under Lock and Key, Back for the Attack, and the first Lynch Mob album. Favorite solos are...there's a bunch, but I'll go with "Unchain the Night", "in my Dreams", and "When Darkness Calls".

Great guitarist...

the last time I saw Journey was with JS Soto on vocals. I just don't care any more about supporting these guys who can't get along.

Number 4 is Michael Schenker. The white flying V . Albums 1) Strangers in the night. Best live album in history . 2) Obsession . Killer riffs 3) lovedrive by scorpions. His leads make this a classic album. Song is Rock bottom live version . Followed closesly by the solo on the live version of This Kids. Nobody talks abt that one, but he shreds it on that solo.

No.4….Michael Schenker of UFO,Scorpions and his solo project.A fantastic guitarist with some of the best tone,riffs and insane solos. Lights Out was my favorite UFO song but his solo band in the early 80’s was his best guitar work.

4. Eric Clapton. Fresh Cream. Disraeli Gears. Wheels Of Fire. Solo - "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."

🌠OH YEAH PETE !!! BUTCH'S FAV ..OTHER THAN JON SYKES

GM's best solo.....didn't even have to think on this one....."Shapes of Things" from the album Victims of the Future. Best hard rock solo of the '80s IMO. Honorable mention would be the solo from the extended version of "Empty Rooms". Thanks, Pete.

4. Yngwie Malmsteen 5. Gary Moore 6. Tony Iommi 7. Jimmy Page 8. Mark Knopfler 9. Carlos Santana 10. Jeff Beck 11. Eddie Van Halen 12. Joe Satriani 13. Dave Murray 14. Angus Young 15.

Stevie Ray Vaughan - 'Texas flood' 'The sky is crying' 'In step' Performance - 'little wing'

Pick number 4. Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson two lead guitarists with Thin Lizzy. These two players combined created a major Tour de force with their exceptional guitar work. Coupled with Phil Lynott's songwriting skills Thin Lizzy were one of the most exciting bands ever. Albums.............. Jailbreak 1976 Johnny the Fox 1976 Bad Reputation 1977 Live and Dangerous 1978 Song(s) Cowboy Song Don't Believe a Word

Mark Chatfield 30) Adam Ant's ... Marco Pirroni

4: Angus & Malcolm, Inc. Angus blows my mind more energy than 10 energizer bunnies, BUT Malcolm wrote a lot of the riffs that are some of our greatest heavy rock tunes. Another dynamic duo tandem. Let there be Rock Powerage Highway to hell Back in Black fave! Song is Let there be Rock Because that's what it's all about!

Heard his plying today in an album from 1970 by the Irish acid folk trio Dr.Strangley strange.his Solo in the song sign on my mind is great.the early recording that I have of him.one of the greats for sure

My #4 pick is an English rock and blues guitarist, singer, and songwriter. He is regarded as one of the most successful and influential guitarists in rock music.[2] He ranked second in Rolling Stone's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time"[3] and fourth in Gibson's "Top 50 Guitarists of All Time".[4] He was named number five in Time magazine's list of "The 10 Best Electric Guitar Players" in 2009.[5] In 2023, Rolling Stone named him the 35th best guitarist of all time. I'm talking about Eric Clapton Albums- Wheels of Fire, Disraeli Gears and Slowhand Song- I almost went with Layla and Sunshine of your love but My pick is a song after the Wherls of Fire I'm talking about White Room.

Gary is a superb pick I knew he was on your top 5, Im going with Fredik Akesson from Opeth I think an underated guitar player, going with Still Life, Blackwater Park and Morningrise ..Blackwater Park fave solo , but there is many
