Obviously, you enjoy the genre referred to as "shoegazer".

How could you not include some My Bloody Valentine?
Of course, Fripp is in a class of his own, and everything he has done has been interesting, if not lovable.

Kevin Shields is not bad,but the link to Robin Guthrie`s guitar work is so obvious to me...
Many guitarrists today seem to imitate his style and lines:Slowdive,mogwai,labradford,etc.
They sound kind of silly.

I agree, he plays like I only wish I could play like... the opening of Maggot brain is the best guitar solo ever.


I guess Clinton just told him to play play like someone had just killed his mother, and that person was standing right infront of him...



also I really like Curtis Mayfeilds rythem playing...

and Robert Quine's phrasing, how he plays around the beat, and then snaps right back into rythem is awesome...

during pete cosey's solo on side one of _agharta_ by miles davis [...] the greatest thing i've ever heard come from an electric guitar, either live or on record

Five years after having first read this, I have tracked down Agharta and can now confirm this claim.
