You’re spot on about Roy Clark. The humor he brought to his performances was outstanding! Ok, a couple of my suggestions… Scotti Hill of Skid Row, Andy Taylor, John Spinks of The Outfield and Tommy Shaw. Tommy’s vocals often overshadow his guitar skills but the man can flat out play!

Johnny Winter was a LEGEND

[@jts3339]

@@csnide6702Johnny frequently played at Cincinnati’s Ludlow Garage in the late 1960’s. For some reason, Johnny and Joe Walsh (with the James Gang at the time) used to criticize the other’s playing when they were in town. Johnny would say that Joe “needed lessons” and Joe would similarly criticize Johnny. I always hoped that it was just good-natured fun.

Dave Meniketti is one of my all time favorites!

[@ralphashford9022]

Alvin Lee - from the band 10 Years After - was a serious shredder at Woodstock (and had a trem on his 335 back then). Some of his performance sounds sloppy today, but in 1969 (when I was a 17 year old guitarist), he was a god.

So happy to see Brad Gillis and Steve Lukather on this list. I'm not sure if he's been included yet, but Ricky Medlocke of Blackfoot/Skynyrd and Rick Derringer are also fricken amazing. I was fortunate to get to know Ricky Medlocke and Gary Rossington back in the mid-90's as regulars in a bar I used to work at the time. Gary was also an amazing player, and I can attest to him also being a great human being. Him, Leon, and Ricky, nothing but good times and great stories. Leon was not drinking anymore, but would come in sometimes to tell us about his last fishing trip.

[@joehansonguitar]

You in North FL??

[@OzarkMountainKing]

SW Florida, but around 1995-ish they came to my hometown, all of Skynyrd, Leon, Billy, Gary, Johnny came down to meet up with local resident Ricky Medlocke to record tracks for a new record. They stayed about 2 months and were super nice. They gave me VIP tickets to their show in West Palm and treated me like an old friend for a while. Ricky had been a regular for a very long time and is a great guy. He is still around and performs as Blackfoot with my friend John playing bass. I live in Lee County and it's a very, very well kept secret how many musicians live there just being regular people. Many years later I owned a concert venue and booked their cousin Jimmy Van Zandt with his band. Next thing I know night of the show, Gary was on the phone yakking it up with me like we had just seen each other the other day. It had been 15 years, and Jimmy had mentioned my name to him off-hand and he still remembered me. That's just who these guys are. ​@joehansonguitar

Didnt care for grunge, techno or that kind if stuff. So naturally I know these guys... I believe that Kids of today who play the guitar will run into the players on this list maybe closer to adulthood or as adults...At least I hope so.

The guy at the record store then told me what happened in March of that year and the plane crash that took Randy and I was devastated .

Last year I saw him live on u tube ,I don't know when it was recorded it looked recent..

[@JoeR203]

I would have loved to see Roy Clark play on a high gain amp.

[@joehansonguitar]

That would have cool to see

[@yeti1002]

Soldano 100 watt full stack / Les Paul standard ... Roy Clark = high gain heaven ....

[@aritomos]

Great vids, thank you very much! Meniketti blew my mind here. I would definitely add Tony McAlpine, Dominic Miller (Sting), John Norum (Europe) and Michael Lee Firkins. Edit: Andy Timmons of course!

[@joehansonguitar]

Thanks! I’m going to be adding those guys to future episodes!! 😎

[@PapaJeff58]

If Roy Clark had not been a “country” guitar player but had played rock music he would be more well known for his incredible guitar skills. Definitely one of the greatest of all time.

[@joehansonguitar]

He was so great

[@jeremyrodner9414]

I have watched 4 of these so far. First off, great picks for these musicians. Can't argue about any one of them on here. I just can't believe you have not yet mentioned George Benson. Dude is a monster on the six string.

[@joehansonguitar]

George is definitely a monster! I’m thinking of doing a completely different series for the jazz guys!

[@kda1024]

Great Post love the content......was Peter Green or Danny Kirwan included as part of the underrated series.

[@joehansonguitar]

They will be!

[@kda1024]

@@joehansonguitar Thanks so much for that...I think both have been criminally overlooked. I appreciate the love you are giving all of these great artists.

I've seen Johnny Winter at least 15 times over 50 some years, from April 1972 thru February 15th 2013. I've gotten his autograph 3 times, twice on ticket stubs, but the last one in 2013 was the best. He held a 'meet and greet' at a record store near my house. For most of the other autograph seekers before me he would keep his head down and sign the promotional card that we were all given and move on to the next one as he had probably done a thousands of times over the years. He was nearly blind by that time and pretty much had to keep his head down, even if he did look up, you couldn't see his face through that old straw cowboy hat he was wearing. When it became my turn in line, I laid my ratty old, torn and tattered, nearly 50 year old concert tee on the table in front of him and asked if he would sign it for me. He looked up at me, at least high enough for me to see the smile on his face. I think he knew I was a life long fan. He sighed it with a silver magic marker and handed it back to me. I put my hand out and we shook hands, and all I could think to say was "Thanks". That's the one time I wished I was the last in line.

[@FRANKBURNSONE]

P.S. - Please consider Paul Kossoff for one of your videos if you have not added him already. From a first time viewer. Thanks.

[@joehansonguitar]

@FRANKBURNSONE you got it my man!!

I just found this channel and being a lifetime rock fan and bigger guitar fan I had to give it a thumbs up and of course subscribe. Thank you for these videos 👍🏻

Thanks Robert!!

Great stuff !!

Thanks

[@thebarbecutioner6977]

Look at Jimmy Dean's admiration face, watching Roy.

[@joehansonguitar]

Looks like they were having a blast

[@Rancott]

Ya know, I think the guy who started the whole thing was Link Wray, from North Carolina. I could be mistaken, but I believe he invented the "power cord"....props on Roy Clark, glad to see him get respect for what he did. This is really great, some of these folks I had forgotten about. I am 60 😊

[@joehansonguitar]

That’s fantastic!!! Glad I was able to get some of those guys back in your mind!

[@ricksmith7881]

Arlen Roth, Danny Gatton, Gaybor Szabo, Janne Schafer,Howard Roberts

[@mysterj1]

I vote for Danny Gatton, too.

[@joehansonguitar]

Great suggestions! They’re on the list!!

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

Oh yeah, the late great Tele master Danny “The Humbler” Gatton. Such a tragic loss.

[@gargoyle790]

Gotta say, it's tough to beat Roy Clark. What he could do with such a clean sound and command of dynamics, texture, and punctuation blows away most other guitarists on these lists, who, with all the overdrive and distortion, sound more or less the same by comparison.

[@joehansonguitar]

Roy was the master

[@jamesmcbeth4463]

I wonder if any guitarists play some fretboard heroics only for the audience to stare blankly at them, but when they play some simple chords, the audience goes wild.

[@joehansonguitar]

🧐🧐🧐

[@lawrencetaylorii2920]

Brad Gillis also was the lead guitarist for Ozzy at one point in time. James Burton was well known for being the lead guitarist for Elvis. Roy Clark and Buck Owens would often trade licks during Hee Haw. Steve Lukather did some really good guitar work for Toto plus collaborated with other guitarist from Shrapnel Records. Nancy Wilson kills it in Barracuda.

[@joehansonguitar]

Yep!

[@denverwagner201]

Mark Farner, from Grand Funk Railroad. Hated by the Critics. Criminally underrated. A lot of people don't know just how good he really is.

[@joehansonguitar]

Yeah man!! He’s on my list for a future episode!

[@denverwagner201]

@@joehansonguitar Awesome!

[@robertryan4461]

No mention yet of Leslie West, (Mountain) Ray Monette (Rear Earth) Bill Nelson (Be Bop Deluxe) Andy Powell or Ted Turner (Wishbone Ash) Paul Kossoff (Free) Del Bromham (Stray) Tony Bourge (Budgie) Michael Schenker ( MSB) Michael Weikath (Helloween) perhaps two of most forgotten guitarist of all are Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac) especially the track "I've Got A Mind To Give Up Living (All Over Again)" and Ry Cooder "Feelin' Bad Blues" as every one states the list is endless

[@joehansonguitar]

I’m in no hurry to get them all Mentioned. Given enough time I’ll get to them all. 😎

I can think of 4 that could be on this list. Jimmy Herring, Windspread Panic Martin Barre, Jethro Tull and solo Marc Bonilla, Keith Emerson Band, etc. Roye Albrighton, Nektar

Excellent!!

[@kishbrowning4531]

As I have commented before but these lists are awesome and I appreciate how you include different genres. May I humbly suggest Tommy Emmanuel, Doyle Dykes, and Junior Brown.

Thanks man! I’m slowly but surely getting to those guys. Next weeks video is already done but I’ll try to add them to the following week!
