    Oh I sort it out all right.

    My favorite game is messing with Exit Pollsters when you come out after voting as there will always be at least 2 groups standing about 12 feet away from each other in ear shot so I will tell one the name of someone I didn't vote for and tell the other I voted for Homer Simpson! LOL!!!

    Both Pollster's will hear what I said and they kind of get this confused look on their faces.

    Eric Clapton has always been my favorite, but--believe it or not--Glen Campbell can pick some guitar.

    A four way tie between Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaugn.


    For bass guitar, John Entwhistle, hands down.

    Oh believe it he was a member of the "wrecking crew" before striking out on his solo career.

    Jimi Hendrix got nothing on Glen Campbell. Here he is playing the William Tell Overture. If you're really interesting in good guitar playing it is worth the watch.

    I'm going to throw in Paul Waggoner from Between tHe Buried and Me as one of my favourites (a 2 1/2 minute guitar solo starts at about 4:50):

    One of my favorites from the Newer Generation where he got some recognition despite him being Old school. Is Vernon Reid. Lead Guitarist from Living Color.

    The first five notes of this compared to anything else that has ever been or ever will. The essence of less is more.

    He mastered his technique under the influence of John McLaughlin.

    McLaughlin is the "Flame" and Santana is the "Sky."

    David Gilmour of Pink Floyd.

    If you don't think he can play check out Echoes live at Pompeii on Youtube.

    Perfect pitch, been playing over 50 years. And tinnitus is NOT being tone deaf.

    Well duh, hence the word "and". If you really had "perfect pitch", you wouldn't have made the comment about Jake. Get over yourself.
