The Top 5 Stratocaster Players Of All Time
There have been numerous great guitar players throughout time that have made the Fender Stratocaster their electric guitar of choice. Several like Eric Clapton actually defected from a hallowed 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard to play the Strat.
The Stratocaster has been utilised in every style of music you can possibly imagine, from disco to rock and roll. So who are the best guitarists to use the single coil pickup tones of the Strat? Well of course this is a really personal thing as what tickles one musicians fancy, may not another. Nevertheless, for a bit of fun I have put together a list of my personal top 5 Stratocaster players from over time:
5. Coming in at number five in my list is the excellent Rory Gallagher, the gritty Irish guitarist with the most worn out Strat you've ever seen. Rory was cherished by numerous people for his straight forward raw, bluesy rock. He was superb as a live performer and was an exceptionally down to earth kind of bloke.
4. At number 4 on my list is the great Stevie Ray Vaughan. Renowned for his amazing blues playing and classic Strat tones, Stevie Ray had a huge group of fans who lapped up every riff he played. I was lucky enough to see him play live at a little London gig in Shepherds Bush and he was fantastic. He put every single ounce of energy into his performance and blew everyone away with his melodic blues playing. He constantly got the type of blues sounds from his Strat pickups that could drive a guitarist green with envy.
3. At 3 we've got Dave Gilmour of the titanic supergroup Pink Floyd. Whoever has witnessed the classy, melodic guitar playing of this man on songs like 'Comfortably Numb' are fully aware of why he deserves a 5 best placing. Not only has his guitar playing inspired an era but he seems to be a remarkably modest and decent person.
2. How can I not include Jimi Hendrix. The innovator and showman who in the opinion of many made the Strat far more famous compared to any other guitar player. It's easy for those who don't really know his playing to label him as a wild, crazy, loud player - just allow them to listen to 'Little Wing' to understand that there is a whole lot more to this particular guy's guitar playing.
1. Well, my number 1 choice of Stratocaster guitar player may surprise some however it is the amazing Jeff Beck. Beck seems to develop and improve like no other guitarist around. He ventures into areas of music that other players choose to avoid, deciding on the safer territory of rock or blues. He is melodic beyond belief and plays a Strat like it becomes an extension of| his body. His incredible use of the whammy bar is definitely for the advantage of the music, by no means for the sake of gimmick or showmanship. Jeff Beck plays notes that many other guitarists wouldn't even think about. He pushes the barriers and makes use of his Strat to assist him in doing it.
So there you have it. No Clapton, no Hank Marvin and no Mark Knopfler. Well, just like I explained, you'll have to forgive me as it is a very personalised thing.
