An excellent list. It's gratifying to see two country pickers on the list. Alvin is one of my favourites. We lost him way too soon. Johnny Winter and Rory Gallagher could play very fast, but were not really known as shredders.
@@growalnuts9880 I love them both. But I love the rock guys too, like Blackmore and Page. Page is technically not as clean as these guys but he had a knack for synthesizing theses various styles into his recognizable sound.
Just seeing this. I'm seeing Alvin Lee's name mentioned,which is absolutely correct. They'd be negligent if Johnny Winter's not mentioned. Every well known player when asked to describe JW notes his lightning fingered, clean accurate playing style.
Very interesting video. I'd add Albert Lee (Country Boy, Heads Hands & Feet), Mick Abrahams (Leave It with Me, Blodwyn Pig), and jazzers like Wes Montgomery and Bert Weedon.
it was a really different feeling in the general guitar playing style in the early years. this guys are much more authentic in style and playing than most of the modern players. maybe it is from less electronics and more rough personally skills and style and art of playing. today's guitar sound is mostly more clean, cold impersonally than the old one . . . today is also a lot of good music out there but the old sound is very special more unique - simply i like it
@@kevinkinnu341 bro, crawlnout from under that rock. Electric guitar has evolved so much in everyway. The only reason you don't like modern guitar solo is because you can't play them clown. You're probably some ignorant boomer who still hasn't figured out why his les paul won't stay in tune, or how to use any other mode than pentatonic minor
Previous video got blocked due to copyright restrictions so I have uploaded a new version. Someone doesn’t want Ritchie Blackmore’s guitar shredding to be seen for some reason! 😂 So who was the fastest guitar slinger in the 1960’s? 🎸🎸🎸
Has anybody here heard of a guy called Ollie Halsall ? He was an English guitarist in the early seventies, into the eighties. He played lead guitar in a band called Patto, and later played and recorded with Kevin Ayers. Sadly he got hooked on the heavy stuff and it took his life, but what he did on guitar at that time was hard to believe. He was a left hander, played a Gibson SG mostly, and was a supremely naturally gifted musician. People who worked with him said he could pick up any instrument and could master it in a ridiculous short period of time, and that no matter what instrument he played it looked effortless. His speed on the guitar was ridiculous, he developed his own technique, and by the way he had a beautiful tone and melody, and could play slower blues style with real feel, he wasn't just a shredder and nothing else. He truly was a master of the instrument. Check out a track called ' Blue '', it's a Kevin Ayers track from his album ' Yes We Have No Mananas '. You may not like the track, but you'll get the message of what Ollie Halsall could produce, you'll hear the ridiculous speed, but also during his solo the tempo drops and he plays some beautiful bluesy stuff before taking off again. This track was from mid 70's, but he had been playing like this for years. Nobody else was playing with his unique technique at that time. His band Patto toured supporting Ten Years After in the early 70's, and Alvin Lee was so amazed with Ollie's playing, he travelled on Patto's bus between gigs most of the time to talk guitar with Ollie and ask him about his technique. High praise indeed. Sadly, videos, and information on the internet is limited because Ollie Halsall was not a star in his own right, he played in other people's bands, or guested on their albums, but check him out anyway, there are some videos of him performing with Patto on you tube, but check out the track ' Blue ' by Kevin Ayers first.
@jeffroegner1499 I think I came across that whilst researching this video. It’s all good. Great music, very enjoyable stuff, great guitar playing. Could listen to it anytime! 🎸👍
In my previous comment below, regarding the brilliant guitarist Ollie Halsall, I forgot to also recommend you listen to his amazing guitar playing on the Kevin Ayers track ' Didn't Feel Lonely Till I Thought Of You ', this was the early 70's. Also meant to mention the two TH-cam videos ' Ollie Halsall best guitar solos ' & 'Ollie Halsall great guitar moments '. If you read my comment below you'll see my reference to Alvin Lee's admiration for Ollie Halsall, but if you check out the comments under ' Ollie Halsall best guitar solos ', you'll see Alvin Lee's direct comment. Please read my comment below to make sense of this comment & I hope you enjoy the amazing skills of an unknown guitar great.
Weird ranking … I mean: Ranking is weird as such. But what does speed gave to do with music? Sometimes you need it. But aren‘t there lots of other aspects of music that shouldn‘t be ranked?
When I first started playing I unintentionally faked being fast by tremolo picking like Dick Dale. Not knocking him, but that style came extremely easily to me from the get.
He only seemed to pick fast when playing on one string which is a lot easier to do than when crossing all the strings. I reckon Hendrix and Page could have done that tremolo picking on a single string no problem?
Glenn Campbell shredded with precision a 12 string acoustic guitar behind his head. He was country. Could have taken Deep Purple from Blackmore and made a better Mark 2. Amazing man.
Hendrix not generally a fast player but he had some nifty fingers when he wanted them. Check out his Woodstock performance, at times he could bang out some quick licks here and there
I love jimi hendrix but shouldn't be up there for the fastest guitar. He played with feel. He was the genius of revolutionary.He didn't have to play fast. Didn't replace slow and at times he could play pretty fast, not super fast.
First of all, Johnny Winter would make most of these guys look lethargic. Secondly, I could NEVER stand those stoopid faces that Alv8n Lee always made when playing.
Fastest is DEFINITELY not best! Playing a million notes in a bar just shows a lack of feel, passion, groove, it shows something lacking! Guitarists with the feel, passion, emotion of Kossoff, Page, Gilmour are the best.
Totally wrong. Fastest by itself doesn't mean the best but it is an important component of virtuosity that is revered in all genres of music--especially jazz, classical, and bluegrass--and nobody would say those musicians were "lacking" anything. Many fast guitarists can play with the passion, feeling and soul of the guys you mentioned--Gary Moore, Alvin Lee, and Johnny Winter are just a few of them.
Betcha this lightweight list doesn’t mention Johnny Winter, who’d leave Alvin Lee in the dust ! 💤 Whenever I see the words “shred” or “jam band”, you know the author’s clueless about real music. 🤡 🇨🇦
@@armandbasilico9002 Silly & absurd…what do you know about serious Blues? Likely not much beyond garden variety blues rockers who cover a few blues songs. Do some real serious research & drop your bias, juvenile opinion.
@@loilt5091 The more you talk the more foolish you sound. I have been playing guitar for over 50 yrs and have been a blues afficionado for just as long. Johnny Winter is one of my all time favorite players as is Alvin Lee. I have seen them both live at least a dozen times each--including twice on the same bill. I have all of their recordings, including several dozen or more bootleg of each. I have met and hung out with both on a few occasions. This video was about speed, and you made an inaccurate comment that Johnny would "leave Alvin in the dust" which is just nonsense. Speed isn't everything but this video is about speed and that is what we are talking about here. Johnny never played anything faster than the Alvin clips shown here and these clips are not even Alvin's best or fastest. I do believe Johnny should definitely be in any conversation about the 60's fastest players--that statement can be easily made without making an inaccurate claim and attempting to take away from another player, which is what you did.
@@armandbasilico9002 I don’t buy your spiel for a second & if it’s true, your taste is highly questionable? You NEVER hear his name mentioned in REAL Blues guitar articles. Winter won 3 Grammy’s out of the 4 Muddy Waters albums that he both played on & produced, starting in the ‘70’s. In 1988, Johnny was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame, the first non-African-American performer to be inducted into the Hall. I caught J.W. live, at least 10 times; not much of an Alvin Lee fan. Got heavy into the Blues, immediately after ‘70’s high school, skipping many of the blues rockers, via the Johnny Winter/Muddy Waters connection…going straight to the actual source! We can drop names all night…guaranteed, I’ve seen far more real Blues artists, (not Alvin Lee, blues-lite types, but the REAL DEAL), than you ever have. The fact that you’re caught up in a speed/(Alvin Lee), blues rocker thread, alone, tells me where your likely tastes lie. Personally, I don’t limit myself to just rock or blues, having a wide, eclectic musical palette, far beyond mere rock & blues. Speed for its own, wanker sake, means very little to myself in terms of actual musicality. As Edgar himself stated about his older brother, he was the John Coltrane of blues guitar. The man could improvise endlessly during his absolute prime. Alvin Lee never had that kind of ability, end of story. I could care less about him playing a few minutes of a fast lick, etc.. “I’m Goin Home”…big deal! There are jazz greats who’d embarrass these kinds of aspiring speedsters in a heartbeat. In terms of the actual Blues, A.L.’s a lightweight, blues guitarist, wanna be. If you truly know anything about J.W.’s encyclopedic blues background/vast vintage record collection & absolute virtuosity, you wouldn’t dare make your uneducated statements. Don’t take my words out of context, we’re talking the Blues genre & he’s NOT EVEN IN THE SAME LEAGUE. Homework 📚 time…or light up another fatty & flashback to Woodstock. ☮️
@@loilt5091 What a bunch of irrelevant babbling bullshit. The video is not about blues, it is about SPEED--can you not comprehend this? You made the comment that Johnny would leave Alvin in the dust on a video about speed (which again is nonsense). So all your bullshit about who is a better blues player is IRRELEVANT to this video. Alvin may not play blues as often as Johnny but that does not mean he doesn't play blues very well. In fact Alvin's playing on "The Bluest Blues" is unsurpassed by anything Johnny ever did. By your foolish reasoning Gary Moore is also a lightweight because he didn't limit himself to playing blues. Gary was every bot as great a blues player as Johnny. I LOVE Johnny Winter but if you think Alvin Lee was all about speed and "I'm Going Home" you are indeed an ignorant fool. As much as I love Johnny, I would argue that Alvin was the more versatile player precisely because he didn't limit himself to blues like Johnny MOSTLY did. Here I digressed into an area that has nothing to do with THIS video just to address you bullshit nonsense.
