Hi Fellow pickers, hope you are all well. Firstly, I would say if you are just learning to play guitar its best not to listen to these two guitarists as it may put you off. ha ha.
Probably, if I were to say the names Albert Lee, and Jerry Reed, several would never of heard of them so I will elaborate a bit.
Albert Lee in my opinion is one of the best guitarist in the world..Albert has been session guitarist for just about every successful country band.He started his playing career about the same time as myself.(That's where the similarity ends ha ha)When you talk to Albert he is a very modest guy and not at all big headed. He currently is working for Earnie Ball in California. During periods of play among others he played with Waylon Jennings in the Crickets; He uses a lot of single echo and chases himself. boy what a chase. (Dont get dispondent however, as playing guitar is for
YOUR enjoyment
not to compete against others.)
Next, Jerry Reed if known at all it would probably be for his role as the Trucker in Smoky & The Bandit. Jerry is more conventional country picker and has lots of humourous songs. Like the one of the links here to Amos Moses;
Two different styles but in my humble opinion two great pickers.
Here are a couple of "Youtube" links to a couple of their songs.
In addition I also like Mark Knopfler who is also a very good player.
