DEREK TRUCKS

Here he is playing alongside Clapton. If you don't know him he's the guy with the blond ponytail.

At around 4:30 Clapton does a one minute solo followed at around 5:30 by Derek's one minute solo. You be the judge.

Who's better? Who cares! They're both great.

Havent had the opportunity to see Clapton play live.

I've seen Santana and a few others though.

Some of my favourite guitarists are:

Steve Howe
Joe Walsh
Lenny Kaye
David Gilmour
Santana
Jerry Garcia
Robert Johnson
Lloyd Speigel
Robin Trower
Jeff Beck
Ry Cooder

..just to name a few i can remember right now

Here's a little Australian Lloyd Spiegel on his Cole Clark, doing a song he wrote for his new born son.

I appreciate the talents of all the greats mentioned including many who haven't yet been mentioned.

But I'm 61 and have been playing for 49 years, so probably won't be giving up until the reaper comes for my cold, dead hands.

For a real treat, search utube for Scotty Anderson.

Shrude, tyvm for posting that vid...Scotty is truly a demon, incredible player. I particularly like his duets with Bob Saxton.

And thanks for the kind words, but I'm hardly a pimple on the a$$ of players like this.

btw, I'll wager you're no slouch yer ownself!

If I played this game like I play guitar I'd be a tour legend. However I've been playing for 40+ years and this game just 3 months. I just bought a new 12 string and that was a bit much more than the new clubs I bought here. Got any video of Arnold Palmer at Pleasant Valley?

A 12-string is a beautiful instrument...until it's time to restring it. j/k, congrats and a belated welcome to wgt. Always nice to meet a fellow picker.
