I thought Bo Diddley might have rated a mention seeing as he's just gone to the "ol chord chart in the sky". Very distinct indeed.
At the other end of the spectrum, I can usually tell when it's Zakk Wylde playing. |

| I have always liked joe satrioni, although I think he has a little heavier sound than the ovation. |

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | When I first posted this, I was thinking along the lines of "Name That Tune"... in that, of those guitarists I listed (and others, Keef), I can, within just a coupla notes, know that it is them- even if I haven't previously heard the tune they are playing. |

Distinctive because he has the lousiest tone I've heard from a guitarist at that level. However, I haven't heard every last track he's recorded, so I'm still hoping . . . |

One of the best slide solos is the one on Seger's song, Like a Rock. |
