Slashers Defined

In response to my piece, Slashers, it was requested that maybe I could reveal at least which band or other info these great guitar players performed for to gain their claim to fame. I don't want to spend too much time on this defintion, but will give what info I think is pertinent. If you do not know some of the names I have presented to you, and you are a blues, rock, jazz, fusion guitar fan, I suggest you take the time to listen to some of their work. I have included some of my favorite incredible fusion players that do not have a super star following, but are renowned in their group of fans, probably mostly musicians to some degree.

If you are a frustrated guitar player like I am, do not listen to the likes of Holdsworth, Johnson, Gambale, or Morse unless you love being tortured.

 

Anyway on with the show.
