That version is nice but this other live version is the only recording I found that shows a peek at how good he really was.
The studio stuff is nothing but pro and I really respect that he's not going over the top and keeping everything musically tasteful but when he played live there was a spontaneity that he had that I don't get from the recordings. His chops and his ear meant you never knew what to expect from him in a good way.
On he surface he seems like a regular rockabilly guy but would play all these different things.
If you like gatton, seriously look up Harlem nocturne live with tom principato even just to hear the preview if you don't want buy it.

I love his playing. I'll try to find that version.

Roy Clark is definitely underrated but check out Pepe Romero's version of Malaguena on yt. Tried to copy the link but it wouldn't load.

Two guitar legends right there.

lol at all the Hendrix dick sucking.

Guthrie Govan. Eddie Van Halen, Satrinai, Vai, John Patrucci, Marty Friedman, Paul Gilbert, Al Di Meola, etc...and about 100 other guitar players all destroy the ancient zombies mentioned so far.

These players are far past their prime and have been overshadowed by many other guitar players.

So many to choose.. David Gilmour... SRV.... Gary Moore... Randy Rhoads.. Brian May.. I could easily keep going.. I thought Ace Frehley was the best as a 10 year old kid. Now I know music

Gilmour is very underrated IMO. His work on "Animals" is amazing.

Ronnie Rep · « **Reply #66 on:** November 17, 2018, 10:41:34 AM »

Good God this again. So many, like others have said comes down to personal taste and preference. I love Vai, Satrianni, Petrucci, Eddie V.H., R. Rhoads, Mick Ronson, Brian May, Hendrix, Duanne Allman, Marty Friedman, Malmsteen, John Sykes, Bill Nelson, Gary Moore , Michael Schenkar, Zappa, Lukeather, Mustaine, Steve Morse, John Mclaughlin, Allan Holdsworth, Jeff Beck, Ritchie Blackmore, on and on.

But the ones that stand out for me..
1.Eddie Van Halen
2.Jimmy Page
3.Ritchie Blackmore
4.Chuck Berry
5.Randy Rhoads
6.Stevie Ray Vaughan
T-Bone Walker, Hendrix, Chet Atkins and even throw Zakk Wylde in here.
10789. Ace Frehley

Hendrix changed the way everyone played since. No one was doing what he was doing until afterwards.
When he went to england w/Chas chandler, Clapton, Page, Beck and all the rest turned up to see him at the
Clubs he was playing and were blown away.

Everyone copied Hendrix until Van Halen came along.
Then everyone copied Hendrix and Van Halen.

I don't think I could pick who I think is best but without Hendrix, guitar players would
Never be doing some of the things they do that Hendrix did first.

Some of my favorites are Gary Moore, Eric Johnson, Steve Vai, and Eric Gales.

I used to go see Danny gatton once a week back in 1988/89 when I lived in Maryland.
He never played the song the same way twice and never really repeated himself.
He blew me away with something different every time I saw him and was amazing.
I have only found one recording that even comes close to showing what he used to do.
His records didn't showcase his virtuosity that way. There's a crappy live version on iTunes of him
Playing Harlem nocturne with tom principato that gives a small peek at what he would do.
If you want to hear something awesome you've probably never heard before, it's worth $1.29.

I like just about every player mentioned and trying to say who is best is almost impossible.

Classy post.
