You've identified these so you get a pass.

One was Jerry Garcia FFS.

This is both impressive and funny - a man of his advanced years and girth doing a Hendrix on an acoustic.  He's a great player though.

 

 

The fella from Squeeze?

Thought you would have put up Rik Emmet.

Triumph definitely were more my speed as a kid.

 

Rush were a bit too....complicated.

 

They've grown on me as I've gotten older.

No name = neg. No exceptions.

Glen Campbell was a sensational guitarist.

You are a piano player - yeah? Pain in the ass covering any SD without that Rhodes stuff.

 

We have started to do Daddy Don't Live in That New York City No More. I think that was Carlton's first track he did with them.

Not in that band - I was the singer.  They had a piano player who was much better than me :)

Yep, both gone now sadly. Lynott not too long after that was recorded I would think.

I saw Gary Moore a few times, one time at the Royal Court, he did the gig and then announced at the end of the show they would be doing an album signing at Penny Lane the next morning, so I went home to Runcorn then back the next morning to get my copy of "Corridors Of Power" signed....still have it....would never part with it

I never saw him unfortunately, always liked him though.

 

I remember reading an article just after Blues for Greeny came out and if I remember correctly he'd gone to visit Peter Green who was in a bit of a mess. 

 

Greeny gave Gary his guitar and insisted he took it, and this was the guitar he played on the album.

 

Pretty poignant stuff.

I think I am right in saying Kirk Hammett has that Les Paul now....

Great great shout there @nimrod 

 

Add in Danny Gatton

John McGeoch knocked out some great stuff in Magazine, he had a sound all of his own.

 

Sadly missed.
