It Might Get Loud '2'

When I first read this thread I was surprised there was no Brian May. He's an elder statesman and a good communicator after all.

Then I realised that we all know he uses his Red Spesh, Rangemaster & AC30 and have heard him say everything there is to say about them a few times over anyway!

Likewise Tom Morello, in a way.

Jonny Marr would be a good one as he has used lots of gear in his time.

As for a youngster, Jake Bugg might be a good one.

My personal wish would be to have Anna Calvi in there.

Jake Bugg's a great suggestion. Not a fan myself, but the contrast of experience and age vs youthful approach would be interesting

Another vote for Neil Young here - if he doesn't have a "different" approach to your average guitar hero, then nobody does!

You'd have to contrast him with someone of a more traditional ilk...I vote Mark Knopfler - for his clean, measured playing, plus I am sure he has some great guitar stories to share.

Third choice I am struggling with....Andy Summers? Different enough from the other two, plus I did like the bits in IMGL where they tried to teach each other their songs..Would love to see Neil Young having a go at Message In A Bottle on his old beaten up black LP with fuzz all over the place and the Bigsby going up and down like a oil field pump.


EDIT: Actually, now I think of it, I think Neil Young could do an effin epic version of Message In A Bottle...

So really you need the third to be a very technical player to contrast with "raw" and "feel".  Satriani or Vai are the best known - but I'm not sure how well known outside of guitar circles.? 

I'd go for Vai out of those two. I am about as far away from a Steve Vai fan as you can get, in terms of his playing, but he would certainly make for a charismatic counter to the other two. I don't like his playing or style but I'd happily listen to him talk about what he does, as he is something of a character.

the room would be on fire with the doors locked yes?

I like your thinking.

I was thinking some sort of airborne psychedelic in to the room myself. Though not sure it would touch Vai.

Neil Young is a miserable so-and-so and highly litigious to boot and would not take part... But if it was about railways and model trains he'd be straight in there... as would Pete Waterman...

They could do "It might get steamy" and have Rod Stewart as well.

Hmmm...let's keep it British... James Dean Bradfield Mark Knopfler Ritchie Blackmore

Chuffola

Joe Walsh

Guthrie Govan

Dave Gilmour

Joe, for the stories

Guthrie for his accent

Dave, coz he's God.

I like the contemporary British guitar wave so: 

Guthrie for the dirty-shreddy stuff and a bit of fusion 

Matt Scoffield for the modern bllues stuff 

Aynsley Lister for the Clapton-like blues-rock stuff 

 Or 

Guthrie 

Eric Johnson

 Warren Haynes 

Although I respect the old cats (EVH, Clapton, Gilmour ect) and find them  relevant, I think we need to move on and see what some other players do. Not that my last too are young laddies but I think they are underrated and deserve some more exposure in an event like that.
