    I think Jeff beck is the best guitar player out there. But that's just me.

    Beck is a good one..along with Clapton and Hendrix...But Eddie was the best..and Randy Rhoads was probably next to him..

    I think that look on his face is because he has a blister on his little finger

    I agree BobJudy. Dire Straits wouldn't have been what they were without him.

    Celebrity success has nothing to do with talent. Tiny Tim was living proof of this! It must have been a case of who he knew, over what he knew that paved his way to his brief stardom.


    He did always carry a ukulele but I can't remember if he actually ever played it when he sang.


    I do remember Johnny Carson enjoyed interviewing him on his show quite a bit and did air his marriage to Miss Vicky back in the day.

    A lot of people don't realize what a great guitar player Glen Campbell was. That guy was a session musician back in the day that played for so many great singers and bands. He toured with the Beach Boys, he played most of the music for the Monkey's songs as a member of the Wrecking Crew that did most of their music in the studio, the song "You've lost that loving feeling" by the Righteous Brothers which had the Wrecking Crew playing the music and Glen was a member playing on that one. Frank Sinatra's "Strangers in the Night" he played on that whole album. He played for Roger Millers Dang me and Merle Haggards Mamma Tried album, He play on a lot of Elvis's songs. He was playing for Sonny and Cher. A lot of those early rock bands had him playing guitar and was uncredited so it's hard telling how many songs and bands he actually played for.

    Speaking of Glen Campbell, I remember when he had Mason Williams on his show and he accompanied him playing the song Mason made famous; " Classical Gas"


    Glen really impressed me on that one!

    I didn't recognize the name Bobjudy but when I heard him play I knew it was a Dire Straits song. I loved that group. I learned of them when one showing of Miami Vice used Brother in Arms was the background music.

    Dire Straits song "Ride Across The River" got me through a bout of depression back in the day.


    I can still close my eyes and hear that song playing as if I was wearing headphones!
