Whether it's a recorded concert on PBS, or Live Rust, or seeing him live I am always struck by the passion he shows when he's really into it. He literally dances with his guitar at times, it is an extension of who he is at that moment. There have been occasions where Cortez the Killer and especially Like a Hurricane found me totally absorbed and in awe of how he emotes through the instrument. That's what I'm after in the musical experience. I couldn't care less where he ranks as a technical player.
Neil Young - Guitarist
We all know Neil for his outstanding songwriting skills and some may even recognize his talents with a guitar but is he underrated? in 2015 Rolling Stone ranked him as number 17 of 100 greatest guitarists of all time. Can anyone pull more raw emotion out of a guitar than Neil?
