Masters of the Guitar

with a whole lot of guitarists who made their mark with their abilities, placing them in an all time greatest list can be a tricky process. A lot have been inspirational to the new breed of guitar players while a whole lot imposed their influence in music and in other different fields. They have weathered the test of time, which makes it deserving to call them legends of the guitar.

A number of accomplished guitarists and starting guitar novices look up to these legends. There may be a new generation of guitar geniuses who will make it to fame or not, but they have a lot of things to do to measure up to the heroes in this list and become an all time great. Here are the heroes and why they are, truest sense of the word, legendary.

There can only be one Jimi Hendrix. Rose to fame after his gigs at the Monterey Pop Festival and then later at Woodstock in 1969, Hendrix disregarded guitar conventions and blazed the way for other guitarists. More than just making music with his famed Statocaster, Hendrix was the first guitar player who used guitar feedback and overdriven amplifiers as a means to create good music.

Jimmy Page is next on the list, but that does not mean he is the second best. Known primarily as the lead guitar for Led Zeppelin, Page was also a core member of the Yardbirds. His dedication to stage showmanship can be seen every time he plays his Gibson Les Paul Classic while making wild antics in the stage. He is ranked as the ninth greatest guitarist in the Rolling Stones top 100 list.

Carlos Santana is a magic man when it comes to guitar playing. He combines his Latino soul into the music he conjures, whether it’s rock, blues, jazz fusion and salsa. Mystical and magical are some of the adjectives that best describe the kind of music Santana plays with his Gibson SG electric guitar. truly, he is an inspiration for other Latinos out there who wants to pick up a guitar and create music.

Also a former original Yardbirds member, Eric Clapton is perhaps the most accomplished guitarist of his generation. With his popular Eric Clapton Artist Signature Stratocaster, he strummed his guitar all the way and won a number of Grammy awards and received three Hall of Fame inductions. When Clapton plays, expect everybody to fall silent and get spellbound.

These people play the guitar but they are not all the same in terms of styles. The only things these legends share in common is that there is no limit to what they can bring to the table. They know how to rock your world with their guitars.
