HOUSTON LOCAL MEDIA'S FAVORITE GUITARIST - LM

HOUSTON LOCAL MEDIA'S FAVORITE GUITARIST


We may not agree on everything but the thing we all can agree on is Sports and Music.  A while back, I asked individual media personalities "who was there favorite guitarist".  I love music second to football so this was right up my alley.  Thanks to all of the media and fans who participated.

I will start off by saying my favorite guitarists are Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Prince and Slash.  I love Jimi Hendrix because he was nasty, talented, and before his time.  I am not head over heels when it comes to his vocals but that boy can handle an axe.

WRAP IT UP

As I received the personalities' feedback, 2 things jumped out: No Slash, Stevie Ray Vaughn multiple appearances.  Honestly I thought Slash would be like the consensus since I like him so much but I guess he is two commercialized.  In all seriousness, after looking at the artist there are two artist who's catalog will be in my possession by week's end: Muddy Waters and Stevie Ray Vaughn.   Muddy Waters simply because he's a black artists I have heard the older generation reference in addition to Max and ND.  I feel like an idiot saying this but I always thought SRV was C&W music which means negative for me.  I could be dead wrong about SRV but the shire curiosity has me wanting to hear how he tame the axe.
