maybelle carter played the guitar before it was amped , which because so weak was often avoided by band musisuans who played louder instruments, horns , banjos and fiddles of the era.. maybelle carter was therefore a true pioneer on the guitar , indeed many aspiring players who came later started out on her wild wood flower lick.
The list is all electric. The Carter family pick was certainly influential. I loved playing it. Also on the acoustic side you would have to include Merle Travis and Doc Watson and Leadbelly for the 12 string.
Yes.
Maybelle Carter has to be on this list.
And, AmericanVictory, it’s not all electric. Robert Johnson did not play electric.
A much better list would be Mississippi John Hurt, Maybelle Carter, Robert Johnson, Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix.
