I can't really pick my all time favorite guitarists. That's just too hard. Cuz there are sooooooooo many guitarists that just kick ass. Among my favorites are (in no particular order): J Mascis, Jimi Hendrix, BB King, Muddy Waters, Huddy Ledbetter (Leadbelly), Eric Clapton, Lee Ranaldo, Thurston Moore, Tom Verlaine, Ronald Jones, Kim Thayil, Tony Iomi, Kirk Hammet, Doug Martsch, James Williamson, Ron Asheton, Lou Reed, John Lennon, George Harrison, Wayne Coyne, Jonathon Donahue, Steve Turner, Bob Mould, Brett Netson, the list goes on and on........and on........and on.......

i just got into fahey recently, i read that he lived in salem, oregon (where i live!) and so that sparked my interest. he really is great, ive been reading up on what he did in salem.

For a time, he was homeless and lived in a men's shelter in Salem, Ore. Sober now, he lives in a motel in Salem, where he recorded "City of Refuge," on equipment in his room.

i also read that he is buried here, and last time sonic youth came to portland they were spotted here going to his grave. its all kinda surreal, i wish id have known of him earlier. apparently he collaborated with alot of local artists whom i know.

womblife is amazing.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 04.11.2006, 07:35 PM

You should get America and Blind Joe Death, because thats all I have and a copy of womblife in mp4 format. When listening to America for the first time I could hear so many different melodies that were familular. He influenced a lot of people.
