Along with many other guitar greats, the guys on that list would point to Knopfler being incredibly talented and influential. He has a very unique style. Read the article below.

He had no idea who the band or Knoppfler was and I saw the album cover and I was like "Money For Nothing!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Shout out to John McLaughlin and Johnny Winter. Don't believe either was mentioned Some would argue they're on the Mount Not to mention some jazz guitarists like Burrell, Benson et al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played guitar on a song on one of my all time favorite albums, The Desert Song on Stanley Clarke’s School Days. Worked security at a George Benson college concert in 1979. This Masquerade. So great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if I posted it here or in the other music thread but his acoustic version of Testify on the 12 string is off the charts. I think it was an MTV Unplugged show.

The recent documentary series was nothing short of outstanding for me since I was pretty young and knew little of the beginnings. If you're a big fan, it is a much watch. Stevie did a live show in fall 1984 at Capital theater in Passaic that I was supposed to go to, but couldn't. There's a you tube of half the show, although it says full concert. Never got to see him live. Had my chance right there. No one knows where the other half of the concert is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So great. George Benson is a GREAT guitarist. In the jazz world… he is well respected. McLaughlin also. Both aren’t ROCK guitarists so not mentioned here correctly but are top of the field. IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I created a channel called the Joe Pass channel. I listen to all the greats of jazz guitar every morning. I played string bass in a jazz duet with a guitarist for many years. He was a Berklee grad, I went to Fredonia. Those were fun years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never saw SRV live, he died before I became a fan do I’m trying to see every great guitarist/musician before they go. Saw BB King, EVH and Tom Petty a year or 3 before he died.

And we’re singing along and cheering at every song and they say “this guy is incredible, who is he?” Steve Winwood. They say youth is wasted in the young. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Winwood live on stage (or at least tried to) with Traffic at the Palladium, then Academy of Music IIRC, down on 14th St. back around 1978 or 79. Too bad the show only lasted about 30 minutes and they were booed off with things being thrown at the stage. Chris Wood was as high as a kite and couldn't stand up or walk, let alone play sax or flute. They tried to play Low Spark... stopped three times. After about 30 minutes of tuning starting trying to get Chris Wood sober enough, they left. So much for my live experience with Steve Winwood. Memories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
