Thanks for this. I listened to Rory when I was younger. I guess I never thought to check utube for live clips.

Great stuff. Love Thin Lizzy, and Gary. Such a master of melodic playing and range of emotion.

Tommy Bolin, another one gone but not forgotten.

Man o man, I knew I would leave a bunch out. I remember the first time I ever heard him, "Cliffs of Dover." While I was trying to pick up my jaw off the floor, I said "Who the hell is this, he doesn't sound like anyone else!"

I also left Mark Knoffler out, Albert and BB. And probably a lot more.

So many inspiring players.

First time I heard Eric was when he did Cliffs Of Dover on the Tonight Show.Went and bought the album the next day and it totally changed the way I looked at playing.

[Reeltarded]

Eric Johnson hasn't been heard until you hear him in your face live. He is too much for his own good with the OCD in a studio. The recordings sound tiny. His rig sounds like a 10,000lb violin in real life.

Love his transitional speed. Sweet.

I can remember the tone that Hugh Burns got in the solo on "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty knocked me out in high school. Still knocks me out.

I have to fight off the urge to surf YouTube.
I have never seen three hours go by so fast as when you are watching YouTube videos.

[Gibsonman63]

No access to YouTube from work but here are a few of my faves:

Jeff Beck - 'Cause We've Ended as Lovers
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Life Without You
Led Zeppelin - No Quarter (Live)
Tab Benoit - Nice and Warm (sweetest Fender sound ever)
Dire Straits - Once Upon a Time In The West
Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush - Dragonfly
David Gilmore - On An Island (Live)
Ian Hunter - The Outsider (very haunting lead tone)
Trapeze - Black Cloud
Foghat - Driving Wheel (Can an electric guitar sound any better than this on a rock and roll track?)
Pat Travers - Stevie
The Allman Brothers - In Memory of Elizabeth Reed
The Climax Blues Band - Long Distance Love
Ian Moore - How Does it Feel
Johnny Lang - The Darker Side
Robin Trower - The Fool and Me
The Beatles - She's So Heavy

[Markusv]

I wasn't gonna say it because I'm not a rabid fan but yes- Johnny Lang now that you mention him
Darker side
Quitter never wins

He rips you a new one with a Telecaster!
