The short version is that I stumbled across the above the other day and figured -- nah, it's gonna suck. To my delighted surprise, it doesn't. In fact, it's enormous fun, and let's just say that it was no surprise that Link Wray is one of the coolest dudes on the planet.
Which leads us -- inexorably and inevitably -- to the subject of today's business. To wit:
...and if you were picking any other guitarist --living or dead -- to add to the roster in the vid, who would it be and why?
Discuss.
My choice? I haven't a frigging clue. I mean, Steve Cropper is already up there.
And yeah, I know -- Keith Richards. I was leaning more towards Tom Verlaine.
In any event -- so what would YOUR choices be?
And have a great weekend, everybody!!!

Big Al Anderson. And it was 1984, so George Harrison and Carl Perkins, too. Cleveland Jeff
Marshall Crenshaw. And I'll second Big Al Anderson :-)
Well, this was a treat. Hey look, it's Dave Edmunds– star of my first Rockabilly overdose. My second was with Robert Gordon and my fave axe-slinger Chris Spedding.
I could also add Ollie Halsall but he was borderline Jazzbo.
Mark Knopfler
Billy Bremmer
Red Rhodes (why not get a pedal steel in there?)
Prince
The "or dead" part makes it easy - Duane Allman
Prince because he could shred and to add a bit of color in honor of Chuck Berry.
- Paul in DK
Oh, also the Humbler himself, Danny Gatton.
- Paul in DK
Mike Cambell
Sorry Mike Campbell
Billy Strings - the guitar he plays was built from scratch by his grandfathe while he was in the Michigan State Hoosgaw, now that's rockabilly
Billy Roues
Captain Al
Prince -- wow, that would have been cool.
ME! Duh!
Sounds like a good idea to me. 😎
Nobody likes a wiseass, Chuck. 😎
Fun thread - how about Kenichi Yamaguchi from the Japanese Rockabilly band -
"MAGIC". don't ask me how I know, even I am slightly confused, Steve would know 😉
Jeff Beck, Brian May, Roy Buchanan, Waddy Wachtel
The answer is always Albert Lee.
C'est la vie, say the old folks.
Dexter Romweber (Flat Duo Jets)
Warren Haynes
Derek Trucks
Warner Hodges- not just to play, but so he could stun everyone on stage with his guitar spin-a-rama thing.

YES!!!
Amen! Warner is like a fusion guitar reactor...like you melded Page with Billy Joe Shaver's son.
I enthusiastically add EDDY SHAVER!!!
How about Duke Robillard? Stevie Ray? Definitely Keith Richards. I've been listening to a lot of Chuck Berry recently. That wonderful box set. Wonderful seeing Johnny Winter clearly having such a great time.
all these fresh famous faces
would jimi hendrix have enjoyed being part of the band? i think of him as sort of shy but of course I never met him
Al Anderson and Ry Cooder
Doyle Bramhall 2
C'mon give me some hope ya'll folks go deep and wide! EDDY FN SHAVER!!!
