He just got a new guitar the other day and was playing it in the living room. I didn't know he was as good as he was. I remember him plinking away playing the same couple of chords over and over. lol.<br /><br />Anyway, I grew up listening to Rush. How can anyone not love Permanent Waves? When I hear it, I'm immediately back in high school. lolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13267066733031149882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-19032638069733304242010-06-29T20:08:29.109-04:002010-06-29T20:08:29.109-04:00You're right about those you named.

Interesting list.<br /><br />There are a whole lot of good guitarists out there, and if you allow yourself to genre-hop a little, you'll find a lot of diverse music worth listening to.<br /><br />While the guitarists I am thinking of (Buddy Guy, Clapton, Ry Cooder) may not have the technical chops of a Satch, they make up for that in timing/feeling.<br /><br />I was a little surprised to see Rothery on your list! I would have thought Marillion a little 'light' for you!<br /><br />LarryDiscConnectedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013919800637508392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-6448494403586136972010-06-29T14:00:28.607-04:002010-06-29T14:00:28.607-04:00I recognise a few names on the list.

Period. His evolution of music is epic. Nothing has been the same since. The things he did with a guitar were ground-breaking. Zeppelin has spawned everything that has taken place in rock music since the late sixties.<br /><br />One of my new heavy rock favorites is Tony Rombola of Godsmack. I love their music (yeah a lot of people say their songs all sound the same, if so, you ain't listenin'). I have a DVD of their Faceless show in Philly that is absolutely balls to the wall. <br /><br />http://www.apackalipsnow.blogspot.comChuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13676928110297819368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-34337769586812826552010-06-28T19:25:43.297-04:002010-06-28T19:25:43.297-04:00I never know the names of the musicians, but I lov...I never know the names of the musicians, but I love the sound of a well-played guitar!
