cphilip, I like Tony too, my guitar player plays alot like him, but even Tony doesnt come close to Django.
You guys that dont know who that is, look him up. He was shredding guitars in the 30's before most of the guys you listed were born. And he only had two usable fingers on his left hand.
my favorite solo....
Douce Ambience by Django

hendrix

jimi hendrix machine gun. Tim Reynolds is sick man, especailly when he played with dave at live at luther college.

Well I wont argue. But I will point out that those are two totaly different styles. So that would be hard to say one was better than the other in that respect. At thier own style perhaps you have an argument. But then that goes either way.

And by the way for the rest of you... we both talking Acoustic guitar here. No fake stuff. Real fingers on strings making all the sounds.

thanks cphilip, i was about to post this. unfortunately a lot of musical talent these days is a little too digital for my likings. i listened to a bit of tony rice, hes awfully talented. but, i still stick with my man tim reynolds. seeing him perform 'stream' live was one of the best musical experiences i've ever had.

mettalica/ hendrix both good stuff

[cphilip]

If you ever get to see Tony then do so. So you can see what he is doing there. That is predominantly "Flat Picking" style. Very Jazz adaptable as well as blue Grass.

But also if you ever get a chance to listen to a CD set called "Tone Poems" that he and David Grisman did together its awesome.

What they did in this was to go to various museums and they took Vintage intruments of museum collections and recorded a period tune with each sets of these. A Guitar and a Mandolin. There are several sets of these "Tone Poem" CD's. But the first one is the best and that was Rice and Grisman. The CD insert is a book. And it details the history of each Instrument with color pictures of each. If you like Acoutical instruments this is a must have set. All of them are good.

Every guitar solo by Yngwie Malmsteen is pretty amazing!!
