Uncle Phil is a legend. He's a great advocate for putting across a point eloquently without fuss. Thank you gentlemen.
Any mention of Rory is greatly appreciated.
Tremendous/ tremendous show. Love it. Phil’s a great guy, plus he always states his appreciation, like I’ve stated before, that’s HUGE with me. Pete, once again, thank you for Your time 👍💯
Gary, I want to THANK YOU!
🍏4 gary from Pete Townshend..Tommy picked it off the Tree
@@gregoryg3256 /. lol. Thank you Gregory. Enjoy afternoon/ night 👍💯
Thank you - Phil
Bernie Torme - Bloodied but not Broken by Desperado (w/ D Snider & C Burr) , Clapton - Sunshine of Your Love, Brian May - Keep Yourself Alive, Tom Johnston -Long Train Runnin, Townshend - Pinball Wizard, Steve Howe - All Good People, George Lynch - Into The Fire, Knopfler - Telegraph Rd, Sammy Hagar - Heavy Metal,,Rory Gallagher - Walk On Hot Coals
I really love listening to Phil, he's a great addition to the SOT family.
My favorite part about watching 'Songs That Define a Guitarist' is seeing how many of the same songs/albums Pete and Phil pick! Also, "Stone Cold Crazy" is absolutely genius! It's a shame that Queen never did more songs like that.
Townshend's performances at Woodstock and Leeds are the reason I bought an SG Special when I became a (bad) guitar player. My pick for PT would be "Young Man Blues" from Leeds. Thanks, guys. Great episode.
I’m not a Who fan, but Young Man Blues has the best lead gtr I’ve ever heard from Townsend.
Young Man Blues would have been my second choice - Phil
Oh my, the first guy I thought of when seeing the video title was Rory, and the first song "Crest of a wave" indeed, and what do you know!
Glad to see my favorite show and guest in 2023 on SoT back in 2024 ! Thank you Pete and Mr Aston !
Thank you for watching!
I'm a Bass player and the guitarist I would most love to jam with is Laurie Wisefield from Wishbone Ash. Live Dates 2....WOW! I'd love to hear what actual guitar players think?
Great guitar player, I’ll add him onto my next 10 - Phil :)
@@NowSpinningMagazine awesome. You're the best Phil.
Don't neglect Knopfler's solo albums. He has become such a great storyteller in his songs (no surprise, as he was an English major). Shangri-La is probably my favorite of his solo albums.
I love this show
Thank you
Love this series. Thank you both for the great programs!
My favorite show on the channel! Fabulous work as always, gents.
Nailed it on Townshend's tone Pete! Hopefully they'll release more from those years, as with live Cream.
Schenker week! YES!! 🍺🤘
For Steve Howe. I'm going for a forgotten Yes mini- epic South-side of the Sky.
In truth, there is only one guitarist who has left me open mouthed at a live concert - I have seen so many greats, Clapton, Howe, Iommi, Mark Knopfler, Gilmore, Blackmore, but it is Randy Rhodes because I had never seen such a guitarist!
Such a loss. To this day, those first 2 Ozzy albums sound so different and amazing.
You should have seen the late Roy Buchanan play
Randy was a true great. RIP.
Happy birthday today Robby Krieger!!!!
Great choices for Rory Gallagher! And I so agree with the comments on his soloing. While there are many very fast, very technical players who can amaze with their abilities, its the melodic choices along with the precision that really sets Rory's playing apart. His solos seldom feel self-indulgent-they feel organic to the music. Thanks again!
Another great episode guys! Maybe we get Jimi next time!
Yours is No Disgrace on Yessongs is the definition version of that song in my opinion.
"Love Over Gold" !
Love this feature. Would love to see Martin Popoff defining Gary Moore as a guitarist ....lol.
I'm pleased to see you guys together .. I enjoy watching your videos since I have the same interest in Music as you guys .. well almost same taste ..
Rory Gallagher is my favourite life time Hero when it comes to guitarist because he can sing unique, write songs very talented & compose the track into a unique style & he was also unique & RAW ..Now all those other guitarist can not do that ..
All Rory's albums are classics just as every track he created.
I love all the tracks of the Deuce album .. I would have picked "In Your Town" to define him because Thin Lizzy was highly influenced by that track .. it was recorded live by the way...
The style Rory developed by 1979-80 does not define him .. He change his band to a 3 piece to return back that raw energy .. all his albums define him . .
Great show guys! I love hearing your takes on these guys.
Since the time of the Covid 19 pandemic you have become my great reference for rock in general and progressive rock in particular along with the hard music of the 70s. I quite agree with your rankings and before buying a vinyl I watch your videos. They are big fans of Deep Purple, UFO, Led Zeppelin, Kiss, Bad Company, Génesis (Gabriel), Yes, King Crimson, Camel, Caravan, ELO, Tull, Rush, Rolling Stones, Beatles (of course). Hug friend.

Great show again Pete and Phil.
Great show guys and great picks especially loved the Young Girl Blues mention from Phil!
Such a fantastic performance!
Great episode as usual guys! 🎸
Thank you - Phil
Bernie Torme ! Yes !! I just got the box set on Phil's recommendation (love it).
Fantastic! Phil :)
THis is a great series.
Thank you
Great show, guys! Really enjoyed your choices, Phil, and great discussion. 👍
It's In The Way That You Use It:)🎸Great series.
Always enjoy these episodes. Great to see Knopfler come up and I agree Pete, as much as I love Telegraph Road it would have to be Sultans but I would perhaps suggest the live version from Alchemy. He has been recording solo albums every couple of years since 1996 and whilst Phil is correct they tend to be more folky there is still a lot of songs that sound like Dire Straits.
Throw Neil Schon in there with the guitar players Sammy Hagar has surrounded himself with. Must admit I like solo Sammy Hagar a lot and presume he’s the main player on those albums but it’s hard to know for sure. That is a great live album though.
Thoroughly enjoyable show Pete. I shall watch regularly now and back track over the previous episodes too. You and Phil are a great match for this (I followed Phil here). Looking forward to checking out the rest of your channel. For what it’s worth, from those I’m qualified to talk about, I’d pick: Bernie Torme “On Fire”, Rory Gallagher “Sugar Mama” (from “Live Taste” - I can taste his guitar and cabs at the beginning), Brian May “Brighton Rick” (Hammersmith 75 version with ‘Three Blind Mice’), Eric Clapton “All Your Love” (Bluesbreakers mono), Pete Townsend “Sparks” (original studio version), Mark Knopfler - “Twisting By The Pool” 👍
That was a Brilliant show, with 2 of my all-time favourite guitarists, Brian May & Steve Howe
Thank you - Phil
Great show! I would have definitely gone with Knopfler’s Telegraph Road. Not the live versions but the original on Love over gold!!
Damn! I like these shows. Keep'em coming!
Brighton Rock !!! The honorable Phil Aston hit the bull's eye !! That song is the epitome of genius !!! Thank you !! (Now I'm Here would be my second choice, much like Phil guessed for Pete !!!)
Love this series!
Great show this is a nice replacement for the guitarist corner (which I still miss). Phil Aston is a very knowledgable and nice guy. Its nice to see a mix of lesser and more well known guitarists showcased here. As a lover of 80s music especially I hope we see some more 80s players here, I would love to see Dave Meniketti discussed as he is underrated both as a vocalist and a guitarist. Vito Bratta and Lynch would also be nice to get a spotlight although I would expect that 99% would pick Wait so that might not be a very surprising guitarist to cover. Keep it up :)
I watch this series to learn about guitarists that I don't know much about. In this case, Bernie Torme. Thanks guys. You give me a great starting point. Wasn't Bernie a guitarist who was considered for Ozzy's band after the death of Randy Rhoads? Maybe I'm wrong...
Yes, and he did play a few gigs with Ozzy before Gillis stepped in.
Thanks Pete! My memory is better than I thought. Lol
Hm, Eddie Hazel - Maggot Brain
Great Show Guys
I love this show!!!
Thank you
Mine
Carlos Santana - Toussaint Loverture [ So Much emotion and precision]
Al Di Meola - The Wizzard [ Fresh, clear, Fast and perfect]
Steve Howe - Soundchaser [ Alien guitar playing soundscape ]
Eric Clapton - Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad [Dominos Live In Concert] Great Solo never topped
Jeff Beck - Cause We've Just Ended With Lovers [ Incredible better than any vocalist]
Jimmy Page - Achilles Last Stand [ What a great solo]
Martin Barre - Minstrel In The Gallery [ Blew me away in 75 such power]
Rory Gallagher - Shadow Play [ Very difficult to pick] [Try Playing it exactly - not so easy to get his feel
Hendrix - Hear My Train A Comin' [Rainbow Bridge - who could do this?]
Ritchie Blackmore - Stargazer [Finally he gets some room to move]
Good stuff! Pete, it’s a nitpick but it’s Gary Pihl (like “peel”), not Gary Phil.
Always enjoy this shows in that many song choices are not always the obvious ones that show off the guitarist. Interesting point about Brian May's Stone Cold Crazy riff being that no one else was doing at that time except maybe Tony Bourge. Well. Metallica covered both Stone Cold Crazy and Crash Course in Brain Surgery. Says alot about these 2 songs in the early 70s.
Crest of A wave is a excellent choice so would most of the tracks of that album be a great choice .. So Rory was always a Rock & Blues artist .. all his albums were Rock & Blues, only the first 3 solo albums contain excellent Fold styles ..
Rory Gallagher favorite songs Secret Agent and Crest of A Wave
Great show as always…Can you guys do Jerry Garcia one of these months :) ?
What do you guys think of Gary Moores blues for jimi album?
🎸👍🤘✌️
🌠 Great Show Guys ! Sparks !! Oh Yeah !!! totally Agree with Pete..takes one Pete 2 know another Pete..Good one also Phil.. lets get the Subs up...100k..9 to go
Nice to see Sammy Hagar get some love. So much about him is about Van Halen. He has done far more material without Van Halen!
Nice video.😃👍
Surprised you guys chose Spoonful over the live version of Crossroads for Slowhand.
Clapton - Crossroads; May - Keep Yourself Alive; Johnston - Long Train Runnin'; Rory - Moonchild; Townshend - Won't Get Fooled Again
Rory was never a follower so he never sounded the way he did by 1980 because he was following the way music was going .. no .. he wasn't .. people were influence & followed him..
