Nuk's 20 Favorite Guitar players of all-time.

Since it's basically impossible to tell who the greatest guitar player really is, I never wasted my time worrying about it.. What makes a great guitar player, at least to me, is the guitar players that inspired me to pick up a guitar and start playing, and I have 20 guys that all had a part in that. This list won't be for everyone, because Jimi Hendrix, Steve Vai will not be making this list.. I'm not saying Jimi Hendrix isn't a great guitar player, because he is, but the only thing he ever inspired me to do, was to throw my distortion pedal out the fucking front door. So, if you take offense to this, you probably won't enjoy this list, so you can move on. A lot of these guys won't be flashy enough for most of you, but I always preferred guitar players over flash, but some flash did manage their way into my top 20.

Again, these are my personal favorite guitar players.​

Hollywood Fats/Michael Mann.

Fats started playing the guitar when he was 10 years old. Started jamming with blues musicians in his teens. He toured with guys like John Lee Hooker and Albert King, but never did reach his full potential, due to his death in 1986 - shortly after this performance. Unfortunately, Fats enjoyed one thing more than playing the guitar - heroin.

Great rockabilly guitarist, and a pretty damn good blues player, too.​

I'm very excited to see this list. Few guys I'm sure will be on there (Stevie Ray, Clapton, etc.), but I'm excited to see how it all pans out.

Eddie Angel.

Eddie started playing the guitar around 12, copying the Beatles and the Ventures. My love for Eddie is a deep one - he's more than a great rockabilly/surf guitarist, he's also a decent person. The guy plays in three different bands, and still has time to throw out a few solo albums, a family, and enough time to always keep in touch with his fanbase, which continues to grow. Rumor is, he never sleeps, and if he does, it's never without his guitar. Nashville nominated him for best guitarist in 1996, he was also inducted into the NY musicians hall of fame the same year, and hopefully one day, into the rock and roll hall of fame.

Rockabilly/Blues/Country/Surf, the guy can play it all, and he does. He's dedicated his career to keeping the old stuff alive and kicking - big task, one that not even Eddie Angel will be able to live up to. Today's music is far too shitty, to ever allow that to happen.​

Eddie Cochran.

Eddie Cochran was just your typical pretty boy, Elvis impersonator, right? Yeah, I don't think so. Eddie Cochran wasn't only a fine singer, but he was also a great guitar player - something Elvis Presley never could manage to do. jimi Hendrix fans may want you to believe that he invented rock and roll, but guys like Cochran were doing it before Hendrix. Some of the players influenced by Cochran - Jimi Hendrix himself, Van Halen, Keith Richards, Led Zeppelin, Bruce Springsteen, Brian Setzer, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and many more. Unfortunately, Eddie Cochran won't be making many people's lists here at VSN, because, well, he didn't play with his teeth.

That's unfortunate, really, because the guy was so much more than just Elvis Presley v.2.​

Angus Young.

There isn't anything about Angus Young, that wouldn't have you wanting to pick up a guitar and start playing. Although, after Bon Scott died, and the release of ''Back in Black,'' the music became heavier to fit Johnson's highly annoying vocals, and Young's creativity, along with the music, took a hit. But during the Scott era, Angus Young is by far one of my favorite players, and out of every person on this list, AC/DC is the music I play most.​

Eddie Van Halen.

No doubt it, Eddie is one of the greatest guitar players of all-time, some may even argue that he is the greatest - I don't believe he is, but like I said, I don't really care about any of that. He probably belongs in the top 10, but the guy is a low life piece of fucking shit, so for that, he's dropping a few spots. Sorry, dirtbag.​

Billy Gibbons.

ZZ Top doesn't only have one of my personal favorite guitar players, but Frank Beard is also one of my favorite drummers. Rolling Stone Magazine would have you believe that Joan Jett is indeed a better guitar player than Billy Gibbons - Sorry, guys, Joan Jett won't be making this list. People actually read that shit?​

jimmie_v_1b.jpg


Jimmie Vaughan.

Believe it or not, Stevie Ray had a big brother who also played the guitar, although he's rarely mentioned these days, other than the usual Stevie vs. Jimmie argument, which people insist on still having. I think what people had against Jimmie, is the fact that he never wanted to be like his brother, and he never wanted to sound like his brother either - God forbid, Jimmie Vaughan actually had his own style, his own sound, which in my opinion was just as good as his little brother.. Better? No. But that doesn't lessen Jimmie's greatness, at least not to me. When Stevie died, I guess Jimmie Vaughan was expected to step up, and take over, becoming his brother - Instead, Jimmie kept right on being Jimmie, who still is a very good guitar player, and one of the coolest musicians to pick up a guitar. I've always preferred his Fabulous Thunderbirds stuff, but he did some good solo work, as well.​

Brian Setzer.

I had to give some serious thought here, because judging by the great Rolling Stone Magazine, Brian Setzer isn't even a top 100 guy, nor he is better than Joan Jett. Luckily, for Brian, I'm not buying it.​

The Ventures.

Labeled as ''The Band that launched a thousand bands,'' because of the many many people they inspired. I realize this and a few others won't be popular choices here at VSN, since I'll be leaving off guys like Steve Vai for some old bastards that started back in the 50s... but lol @ anyone that thinks Steve Vai > The Ventures. Mel Taylor (drummer. RIP) just happens to also be my all-time favorite drummer.​

Cliff Gallup/The Blue Caps.

Best known for his short career with Gene Vincent - Cliff Gallup was already considered ''one of the most technically proficient guitarists in early rock and roll.'' Gallub died in 1988, still doing what he loved - He also inspired guys like Clapton and Jeff Beck, who also make my list. Although, I could argue that Gallup belongs higher than both, but again, that's not what my list is about.​

Carl Perkins/Eric Clapton.

Any person with half a fucking brain knows of both Perkins and Clapton. I've always preferred the early Clapton, you know, before he lost his will to live. I stopped listening to his stuff after '91. As for Carl Perkins, what can be said? He's no Dimebag Darrell, but I'll throw him on here anyway..... lmao.​

Jeff Beck.

Jeff made a name for himself in the 60s, and in '65 he shared the spotlight with Jimmy Page as the guitarist for ''The Yardbirds.'' It didn't take long before Beck started his own band, because he's Jeff Beck, and he shouldn't be sharing the spotlight with anyone, not even Jimmy page. ''Pink Floyd'' wanted Beck to be their guitarist at one point, but Beck's amount of awesome was way too much for him to even consider such an offer, if they had decided to try recruiting him.

His love for Cliff Gallup is pretty much umatched. And for that, I thank him.​

Dick Dale.

Dick Dale, labeled as ''The King of the Surf Guitar'' started playing back in 1897, so he pretty much inspired every guitar player on the planet. To this very day he insists he's only 72 years old - Lol @ that bullshit. Sorry, Dick, no one is buying it.​

Mark Knopfler..

Knopfler grew up listening to guys like Reinhardt, Atkins, Burton and Scotty Moore - and when you listen to his playing, you can tell right away. Two of Knopfler's guitar heroes also made my top 5, ahead of him, and rightfully so. That still doesn't lessen his greatness and what he's done for music.​
