Who are you're favourite Guitar Players of All Time?

By: canderson burnetti

Great guitarists don't come around every year, there are a select few that have and continue to leave their mark on the musical landscape.

As a guitar play I of course have my favorites, and not everyone's will be the same, how ever in this article I'm going to detail three in particular that few if any guitar players will argue are the cream of the crop. These three guitar players I'm going to discuss are not bound by style, skill or instruments they constantly pushing the boundaries of their craft. These are not guitarists you can learnt o copy in a weekend of the best guitar lessons online.

How ever while you may not be able to copy these players styles what you can do is learn some of their songs and make some of how they play your own by incorporating it into your own style.

Jimmy Page

Born James Patrick Page, Jimmy Page was best known as the lead guitar player for the famous Rock and Roll band Led Zepplin. If on some off chance you haven't heard of Jimmy Page before well it's time to come out from under that rock and start learning your guitar great's history.

Led Zepplin inspires many beginners to take blues guitar lessons to copy many of the styles Jimmy Page brought to the fore front of Rock and Blues music.

Prior to being the guitarist for Zepplin Page was placed guitar for the Yardbirds along with another amazing guitarist Jeff Beck.

Eric Clapton

Eric Clapton has made himself and the Fender Stratocaster famous for his amazing blues inspired guitar playing. While Clapton has been solo for the past couple of decades he has been a member of some great bands including Cream, Derek and the Dominos and as the a guitarist in the Yardbirds.

With a career that has spanned more then fifity years you can get a good idea of his work by looking up songs such as "whiteroom" by Cream, "Lalya" by Derek and the Dominos, and Claptons solo hit "Tears in Heaven" written for his late son.

Jimi Hendrix

Always leave the best for last I've been told, and not many can hold a flame to the guitar god that was Jimi Hendrix. While his life was cut short he accomplished much in his short 7 year career. From his amazing performance at the original Woodstock concert to many of his notable tracks including: "Purple Haze", "Hey Joe" and "Little Wing".

Taking time to learn a complete Jimi Hendrix song takes patience but will go a long way to improving your guitar playing as a whole.
