Do you remember "The Shadows" with Hank Marvin? A wonderful guitarist with "Do You Wanna Dance," "Apache," "Telstar" & "Sleepwalk" plus many more songs to his credit. He is featured on YouTube many times if you want to have a look. I have lensrolled your lens to my Maureen O'Hara lens whose songs, though not "rock" songs, really rock. 5 stars, favorite. I'll be back - really enjoyed this and other lenses by you! Posted May 04, 2008 |

Great job with this showcase - I love it! Can't wait to see the next installment! Posted November 23, 2007 |
Of course, the Rolling Stone list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists generated a lot of controversy. Is your favorite guitarist on the list but not high enough? Not on the list? Tell me who it is and where they should rate.
