Style vs Skill
Was reading an article from Black Keys guitarist. Apparently Billie Gibbons has been a fan since early on. They noticed him in the audience on night while playing a small venue with maybe 30 people in attendance.
They eventually became friendly and Billie popped by during recording sessions for the latest Black Keys album.
They remarked he showed up without any guitars so they handed him something, he plugged in and he sounded like himself.
Now Billie uses coins for pics, it’s what gives his tone that bright piercing ring and is very distinct. Brian May also uses coins.
But Billies style is unmistakable, you can tell it’s him within the first few notes regardless of what gear he is using.
So there are phenomenal guitarists out there with unbelievable chops but somewhat generic styles but this list is style, not chops.
People I know who they are with only a few notes.
Billie Gibbons
Carlos Santana
Willie Nelson
David Gilmore
