You bring up a good point.

I am totally ignorant of who the guitarists are out there in gospel.

What makes them good?

What do you use to compare their performance and styles to?

I notice the good ones compliment and add good taste to the the choirs.

They don't try to play so loud as to drown out everybody but themselves.

In my opinion a good guitarist uses good taste. He adds "flava" to use a young persons hip word. He does not try to drown everybody out, but he accompanies the voices. You like the color that he brings because a guitar can bring a lot of excitement that an organist or keyboardist can't bring.

I'm thinking of John P. Kee's tune "Clap Your Hands" off the Strength CD. The guitar takes a distorted solo that takes the tune to a new level. The keyboards could never have taken it to.

I like Jonathan DuBose Jr and Paul Jackson Jr.
They fit the description of knowing their space and
using it effectively.
Just my opinion.

Paul Jackson Jr is cool.

Tommy Walker is probably my biggest inspiration and mentor of the past 10 years.

I dig a lot of the Nashville CCM studio guys...Jerry MacPherson, Gordon Kennedy, Chris Rodriguez.

The lead guitarist for the group Salvador is good too. He sounds a lot like Carlos Santana. What do you think about Phil Keaggy? I have an album called "Invention" that features Keaggy, along with Wes King and Scott Dente'. It doesn't have a lot blazing licks and all, but it's a nice laid back guitar album.

Phil Keaggy is an excellent guitarist. A lot of his vocal songs I don't care for...too much like the Beatles (I'm not a big Beatles fan) but his instrumental stuff is great.
Just my opinion.

Thanks for the information. I am totally ignorant of the names of these fine players.

I like the sound of the guitar very much. But don't much about the players.

Phil Keaggy is my favorite if you're talking about gospel guitarists,Stevie Ray Vaughn if you're not. I don't know if SRV became a christian before he was killed or not,but he had a lot of heart and soul into his playing.

AS FOR BLUES SRV,IS THE MAN!!!!!!!!

I heard SRV (and his brother Jimmie) was a Christian. Many people have criticized Stevie Ray as being too much of an Albert King or Jimi Hendrix clone and I do think that he has lots of Hendrix in his playing. Perhaps if he had lived he would have come more into his own. Having said that, I love Stevie Ray Vaughan. He made the blues popular again when he first came out back in the 80's and played on albums by David Bowie and Tina Marie. For thos of you with an extra $16,000 + sitting around in your pocket, you may want to consider this:

Hello all, I'm new to the guitar (been playing for about 6 months) so I don't know many guitarists. However there is a new guy on the scene (secular music) whose name is Raul Midon. The things he does with that guitar is absolutely amazing. Is anyone familiar with him, if not, visit his website www.midon.com

MikeGee · « **Reply #18 on:** August 18, 2005, 06:05:11 PM »

I had just read the head line of a newspaper with this guy on it. I'd beleive you just mentioned him.

If imitation IS the sincerist form of flattery then SRV paid a LOT of tribute to Hendrix, King and many other blues and blues-based players but he still managed to make his sound all his own.

I saw him in concert just a couple months before he died...he opened up for Jeff Beck...and Stevie was the real deal.
And all signs point to him being saved before he died but only our Lord and great intercessor knows for sure.
