Legendary Guitarists II Quiz

Part two of legendary guitarists, and apologies for there being none included who are comparatively recent to the scene !
For example, the following are rated in the top twenty guitarists of all time : Stevie Ray Vaughan; Joe Satriani; John Petrucci; Randy Rhoads; Allan Holdsworth; Paul Gilbert; Yngwie Malmsteen; Phil Keaggy; Jason Becker and John McLaughlin - but I've never heard of 'em ! ;D ;D ;D So apart from this brief acknowledgment here, they're not included.

1pt for naming, extra point if you can name a band they were in.

Now for the no-pics, clues-only questions:
38. A Grammy Award-winning guitarist, composer and record producer, early influenced by Frank Zappa, has been in band with David Lee Roth and Whitesnake.
39. American guitarist, best known as the lead guitarist for the Dixie Dregs and Deep Purple (he replaced Richie Blackmore).
40. Noted for both his slide guitar and improvisational skills. In 2003 Rolling Stone magazine named him as number two on their list of the greatest guitarists of all time, trailing only Jimi Hendrix. Had a major role on the album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, by Derek and the Dominos, a 1970-71 band led by Eric Clapton. His nickname, "Skydog," was given to him by soul singer Wilson Pickett to replace his earlier nickname, "Dog."
41. Best known for his work with Yes, was voted "Best Overall Guitarist" in Guitar Player magazine five years in a row (1977 - 1981) and was inducted into Guitar Player's "Gallery of Greats" in 1981.

Bonus question (42). This guy's a brilliant young talent, who joined an 'old' prog rock band when they re-formed about five years ago. Tommo's seen his band (Caravan) five times, twice in London, twice in Kent and once at the Old Market, Brighton.
3 points if you can find and name him.


Good luck !

23 = Dave Gilmour, Pink Floyd
28 - looks like Pete Townsend, The Who
42. Doug Boyle (assumed the go-ahead for immediate Google on that one, if that's correct, it took some finding)

You've got yourself 5 points, Craig: two for Dave Gilmour of Floyd, but Townshend not correct, he was on Quiz I if you remember.
I've seen both The Who and Jimi Hendrix live, btw, in 1968 at the Crawley Starlight ballroom. Both Pete and Jimi smashed up their guitars, Pete on the low ceiling and Jimi on the front of the stage after he had played it with his teeth. Keith Moon toppled his drumkit and did quite a bit of damage as well. It was not scary at all and the audiences were cheering.

Well done on finding Doug Boyle, 3pts for that as promised. Easiest way to find anything to do with Caravan is to Google for "Canterbury Bands" and you come up with a website called Calyx. I also follow the progress of the guys who left the band, Dave and Richard Sinclair, using that site.

Leader:

RE 35, Tommo, It looks familiar , stick my neck out to say either a young Marc Bolan or Lyndsay Buckingham?

[Colemanator]

Tommo, wasn't 39 Tommy Bolin? :-/

[Colemanator]

Re Doug Boyle, his band was called 'the rest is history' who became Robert Plants backing band during the latter 80s and 90s

smart arsed colemanator

The Colemanator rocks !

24) correct, 3pts
30) incorrect
33) correct, 2pts
34) correct, 1pt
36) correct, 3pts
37) correct, 2pts
38) correct, 1pt
41) correct, 1pt
35) Lindsey Buckingham correct, 1pt

The only one left to answer (- apart from one point for Lindsey Buckingham's band -) is the double-up question 30) for 4pts.

As a further clue, he (like Peter Frampton and John Miles) is adept at playing the mouth-tube extension from the guitar !

Buckingham - Fleetwood mac

[Colemanator]

No 30, On looks it could be Mick Taylor, Rolling stones, but don't recall him playing a mouth tube unless he did solo, the only other player that i'm aware of using one is Richie sambora of bon jovi, but that's not him in the pic.

Try the best-selling American group ever (followed by Aerosmith), with their Greatest Hits 1971–1975 being the best-selling album in the U.S. to date and the second-best-selling album of the 20th century in the United States after Michael Jackson's Thriller.
They broke up in 1980 and were disbanded for 14 years, but reunited in 1994. They toured intermittently since then, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.

1 point for Fleetwood Mac, btw.

[Edit] - just noticed your posts at foot of first page - Jel's answer Steve Morse was correct for 39) but you gain a point for the extra info on Doug Boyle's pre-Caravan career. Adjusted above.

Just joined up and been having fun browsing around.
All in jest, you understand but......

WHAAT?

Never heard of Stevie Ray?
Or Joe Satriani?
Or (Though given the jazz genre, you may be forgiven - despite his relatively advanced years) John McLaughlin!

Holdsworth and Malmsteen are hardly spring chickens!
Wot yous got there is a list of guitarists' guitarists.
Technically superb, universally admired.
Well. In my universe anyway!

Go on.
Google time!
Or Wickipedia.

Broaden them a bit ;) ;D

Well, I have now, 'cos I made a point of asking the Ferret (guy at work who I go to the occasional rock concert with) if he had any of his stuff, and he lent me a CD.
Very nice, technically very good, but didn't really knock me sideways.
But I've always loved guitar solos, the twiddlier the better. Give me Jimmy Page or Dave Edmunds or Mark Knopfler - there's a broad selection for you. For something bluesey - Joe Walsh on Life's Been Good.

We don't all see things the same - I was lent a CD of the best of the Grateful Dead and it left me cold. And I hate Springsteen and Captain Beefheart. >:(

Diff'rent Strokes for Different Folks.

[hon Vice President]

Can't argue with that!

If everyone liked the same thing, there'd only be one song :)

Joe Walsh - saw him once, as one of Ringo Starr's All Stars (Along with Todd Rundgren) . Amazing bloke.

Appreciate the quizzy stuff. More power to yer cueing arm Tommo!
