And no Jeff Beck? (Guess I'm just not hip anymore)
What about Steely Dan - Kid Charlemagne? Either Walter Becker or the Skunk.
Going Down by Jeff Beck is one of my favorite guitar rifts. But I think my fav is I'm Going Home by Ten Years After. Saw em live in 1970 at Filmore East; I'll never forget it.
Jeff Beck rocks.
i'm glad somebody mentioned jeff beck.
i have heard page, clapton, and beck, all live, in concert (multiple times).
if we are just talking about rock guitarists, and not classical or jazz guitarists, it is hard to beat jeff beck.
