Great shout for Murphy.

Wonderful player. Some dedicated fans on these Boards got me interested in him. Very expressive with the bar.

Still remember first time seeing him on the Tube & thinking 'that sounds fantastic' & really different..

What about Brad Gillis from Nightranger ...i still have the 40 licks and tricks with a whammy flexi disc from Guitar Player mag .....
Jeff Beck (as everyone has pointed out already )is the master though ....
Ooh Alan Murphy (R.i.p) did some wonderful stuff on Go West tunes ....(oops just noticed the posts above !!!)

David Torn and Reeves Gabrels come to mind for alternative takes on what a bar can do.

Here's Michael Casswell showing how some of it's done.

Casswell plays in a local covers band -- an amazing player.  I always try and get along to see them when they're playing down my local.
