There are many great guitar players who have passed on. Yes, Eddie Van Halen's passing is big news right now. Of the classics, there's George Harrison, Jerry Garcia, and Jimi Hendrix, of course. But there are some who were also great, who just never got the airplay or the celebrity.

How about Rory Gallagher, or Duane Allman, or Mike Bloomfield, or Stevie Ray Vaughn, or Gary Moore of Thin Lizzie? As has been said in another post, Frank Zappa has to be recognized too. Lest we forget Johnny Winter, perhaps the fastest guitar player ever.

And if we move into the Blues genre, we could burn up the server listing the greats. Please feel free to list your favorites who are no longer with us.
