Greg Lake is kinda underappreciated as a guitarist (almost always remembered as a singer and a bassist). Michael Dunford a humble guy sitting in the corner with acoustic guitar but he was Renaissance prime composer and deserves a respect.
Greg Lake is indeed underrated as a guitarist. Michael Dunford, with his skill and contribution to Renaissance, also deserves respect. Great suggestions for future lists! Thanks for the comment!
That is BS, both never played actually electro guitar and the sound of Renaissance was totally keyboardish, and Lake was more a good bass playing, who used the bass as an solo instsrument, just like Chris Squire of Yes did. So when it comes to the best !!!! this list is more or less ok and right.
Great list! And I’m happy to say that, apart from Alex Lifeson, I’ve been lucky to see them all live and some (Akkerman, Howe, Gilmore, Green and Hackett) several times over the years! Approaching 70 does have some historical benefits 😂
Gary Green is amazing! John Goodsall and Steve Hillage are also fantastic guitarists, but in this list we decided to mention just 10. Maybe they will appear in part 2. 😉 Thanks for the comment!
@@andrewhoag6167 in jazz rock you have rock songs (typical song structure of verse and chorus with rock vocals, very much guitar based, focused on being punchy) with the language and elements of jazz (long jam sessions, typical jazz chords and chord progressions, playing reminiscent of jazz players, some times a big band kind of sound) In prog rock, apart from jazz influence you have also classical and the songwriting is very different. It doesn't have the typical song structure, as the songwriting is focused on dividing the song in sections, with instrumental sections that aren't necessarily related with guitar solos but with complex passages. Most of the prog has an oniric and/or grandiose type of songwriting and playing.
Peter Banks Steve Rothery John Petrucci Mikael Akerfeldt Kerry Livgren/Richard Williams Trevor Rabin Steven Wilson Guthrie Govan Roine Stolt Steve Morse Chris DeGarmo/Michael Wilton Justin Hayward Adrian Belew Although fusion, John Goodsall Ian Bairnson Brian May has some prog moments.
Martin Barre is amazing with Jethro Tull! While he didn't make this list of 10, he's a strong candidate for a future list of progressive guitarists. Thanks for the suggestion!
Nice list. Glad Andy Latimer was included because he is great and underappreciated. I'd suggest Phil Miller of Matching Mole, Hatfield and the North, and National Health.
Andy Latimer is indeed amazing and underrated! Phil Miller is a great suggestion, an impressive talent. Maybe he'll appear in part 2? Thanks for the comment!
That's awesome! Gary Green is indeed a great guitarist and seems to be a very nice person. Good to know he's down to earth. Thanks for sharing his story!
Good to see Jan Akkerman on the list was voted the world best by Melody Maker but was forgotten after he left focus and was injured in a vehicle accident. Inspired me as a young guitarist and still performs today and worth listening to
Jan Akkerman is a fantastic and inspiring guitarist! His work with Focus was amazing, and despite difficulties, he remains an important influence. Thanks for the comment!
Nektar is so overlooked in the history of prog rock, it's almost criminal! So glad you gave them some love! Wish you would've added Adam Jones of Tool, though!
I agree, Nektar deserves more recognition in progressive rock! Adam Jones from Tool is a great suggestion for a future list. Thanks for the comment and the tip!
I'm glad you liked this list. Take a look at this other one, I think you'll like it too => ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7FxC1VhfI0c.html Thanks for commenting!
Steve Rothery, Steven Wilson, and Guthrie Govan are all incredible guitarists with significant contributions to progressive rock. They definitely deserve to be considered for future lists. Thanks for the suggestion!
Steven Wilson is great guitarist from the nineties.Steve Rothery of Marillion is great too from the revival of progressive rock in the eighties. Frank Bornemanm of ELOY great guitarist with Sound similar to David Gilmour Roine Stolt of Flower kings is a great guitar player Hawkwind Dave Brock Martin Barre of Jethro Tull. Nick Barrett of Pendragon.
Great suggestions! Steven Wilson, Steve Rothery, Frank Bornemann, Roine Stolt, Dave Brock, Martin Barre, and Nick Barrett are exceptional guitarists and could definitely appear in part 2 of the list. Thanks for the recommendations!
Steve Hillage (Gong), Phil Miller (National Health), Gary Boyle (Isotope), and Phil Lee (Gilgamesh) are all notable guitarists in progressive rock. I’ll consider these talents for future lists. Thanks for the suggestion!
Hollie Halsall from the band Patto is indeed an important and talented guitarist in progressive rock. I’ll consider including him in future lists. Thanks for highlighting him!
"Remember the Future" is a classic and essential album by Nektar, marking a significant contribution to progressive rock. Thanks for highlighting this masterpiece!
Martin Barre is an incredible guitarist! Choosing for this list was tough, but he is definitely an important name in progressive rock. I’ll consider him for future lists. Thanks for the suggestion!
Steve Hillage is a giant in progressive rock! He deserves to be on any list of great guitarists. I’ll consider adding him in future lists. Thanks for the comment!
Marc bonilla kind of plays in the progressive world also the late Ronnie Montrose in his Gamma band .Thanks for mentioning Nectar Gentle Giant and Camel Moon Madness and Snow Goose are classics
Radomir Mihailović and Vlatko Stefanovski are excellent guitarists and deserve recognition. I’ll consider including them in future lists. Thanks for the suggestion!
Peter Hammill may not be the greatest guitarist, but he is definitely a progressive rock icon. His work with Van der Graaf Generator is legendary. Thanks for the comment!
Steve Hillage is a master of progressive rock, and many fans believe he deserves to be on any list of great guitarists in the genre. I’ll consider him for future lists. Thanks for the comment!
Martin Barre is a giant in progressive rock, and his absence is definitely felt. He’s definitely someone to consider for future lists. Thanks for the comment!
Mike Oldfield and Martin Barre are prog rock giants! Oldfield with "Tubular Bells" and Barre with his work in Jethro Tull, both left a lasting impact on the genre. They will be in part 2 of this list for sure. Thanks for commenting!
Jeff Beck is a phenomenal guitarist, but this list focused on progressive rock guitarists. Beck is better known for his work in rock and jazz fusion. Maybe he'll appear in a future list! Thanks for the comment!
Tommy Bolin was an amazing and versatile guitarist. While he's better known for rock and jazz fusion, his influence is undeniable. Maybe he'll appear in a future list. Thanks for the suggestion!
Jimmy Page es un guitarrista legendario y su influencia es innegable. Sin embargo, la lista se centró en guitarristas específicamente del rock progresivo. Gracias por la sugerencia y puede ser considerada para futuras listas. ¡Gracias por el comentario!
Joop van Nimwegen is a really cool guitarist from Finch! He brought a unique sound to progressive rock. Definitely worth checking out. Thanks for mentioning him!

@@BackingTrackCenter Yes, he is. Been to their concerts numerous times in the 70’s, even in their original setting with Beer, Cleem and Peter. Lights off, alarm siren, lights on…and there he was, all in white, eyes closed and 90 minutes of pure magic. By far one off the most underrated guitarists ever but Joop doesn’t mind that. After Finch he became a professional photographer and recently I saw him on tv playing acoustic guitar in the Abba musical “band”…..the talkshow host had nò idea they had this progrock item in their show……. Joop was never interestes in “fame and fortune”……but being a member of the Abba musical background band…….😢
Mike Oldfield is an exceptional musician! His contribution to progressive rock is undeniable. I’ll consider including him in future lists. Thanks for the comment!
Steve Hillage and Daevid Allen are great names in progressive rock! The list was limited to just 10 guitarists, but both definitely deserve recognition. Thanks for the suggestion! Have you checked out our latest video on the most influential progressive rock bands? Take a look here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7FxC1VhfI0c.html.
John Petrucci, Nuno Bettencourt, Steve Vai, and Tosin Abasi are all extraordinary guitarists, but they are more known for progressive metal and modern rock. This list focused on classic progressive rock. They might appear in a future list! Thanks for the suggestion!
Roine Stolt is an exceptional guitarist, and his work with Flower Kings is notable. I’ll consider your suggestions for future lists. Thanks for the comment!
Steve Hillage is an amazing guitarist! Choosing for the list was tough, but he is definitely an important name in progressive rock. I’ll consider him for future lists. Thanks for the suggestion!
Franco Mussida is truly a remarkable guitarist. His contribution to progressive rock is significant and deserves recognition. He will be featured in part 2 of this video. Thanks for remembering him!
Je ne sais pas s'il conviendrait à une liste de guitaristes de rock progressif, peut-être à l'époque où il accompagnait Frank Zappa. Qu'en penses-tu? Peut-être que je ne connais pas grand-chose de son travail.
Rush is often classified as a progressive rock band due to their musical complexity and experimentation, but their heavier, rock-oriented approach can set them apart from others. The diversity within prog is what makes it interesting!
@BackingTrackCenter True but since the 70s most people think of Prog bands as doing nothing but singing about wizards and Demons,fairy's,epic quests etc etc,comprising a 32 minute,8 piece story....At least that's the impression I got during the 60s growing up here in the UK and listening to my brother playing Yes/Genesis-before the became an AOR/MOR act-King Crimson,Camel,Gentle Giant etc etc....to me it was all pretty long winded/tedious and not the sort of "Rock" music I was listening to.
The list isn't a ranking of the best, but rather a selection of essential guitarists in progressive rock. Steve Howe is amazing, but each one on this list has their own significance. Thanks for the comment!
I agree, the discussion about what is or isn't prog can be quite subjective. Innovation is definitely a key aspect of progressive rock. Thanks for your comment!
@@andrewhoag6167 the discussion shouldn't even begin because the name is that, a name. A great majority of musical terms are not logical whatsoever or they are but they fell out of relevancy in relation with the music. So complaining about musical names is pointless, they are social conventions. You may dislike it, but as long there's no better name, this one remains. Progressive rock is meant to depict a very specific rock genre with specific characteristics and sound. You do another type of sound and it stops being prog
Robin Trower is indeed a legend, but this list focused specifically on progressive rock guitarists. Maybe we'll explore blues-rock guitarists in another video! Thanks for bringing him up!
John Petrucci is amazing, but this list was focused on classic progressive rock guitarists. He's best known for his work with Dream Theater, which leans more towards progressive metal. Maybe he'll appear in a future list! Thanks for the suggestion!
Frank Zappa will definitely be included in part 2 of the list. He’s a true icon of progressive rock and deserves his due recognition. Thanks for bringing it up!
Not even sure how/why over half these bands are considering to be "Rock" bands when clearly "Rocking" is the last thing they do....I was in a shop about a year ago and the lady serving me noticed my Rush t shirt,she said she loved Rock music,I asked who her favourite band are ?.....she said The Eagles........I looked at her with a sad face and quickly left......Poor deluded woman.
always the same old dudes. Where are the young or more younger ones, Steve Rothery, Nick Barrett, Mike Holmes, James Guthrie ? And Mike Oldfiled ? No Mike Ofdfield ? Are you kidding ?
This is a selection of 10 great guitarists, obviously there are many more. Your suggestion has been noted and we may include it in part 2 of this list. Thanks for your comment!
These are all great, no need to be pissed about it. But thank you for remembering Mike Oldfield. In this type of discussions (or guitarists in general) he's always overshadowed
Oldfield could well have been on this list, but they’re all pointless really as not only is it subjective but it’s also a case of who you know and who you don’t.
@@hon8177 boring music, Steve Rothery, Nick Barrett, Mike Holmes, Guthrie Gowan ? Don't agree with you, not at all. And having said that, Steve Howe is still my favorite guitarist of all time.
Ted Nugent is an amazing guitarist, but he's more known for rock and hard rock. This list is specifically focused on progressive rock guitarists. Maybe in a future list? Thanks for the comment!
How in the world do you leave Adrian Belew….Phil Manzenera….off of that list and put the guitarist for Focus on it and Nektars guitarist…what happened to Steve Hillage…..Steve you have got to be joking me that he just played that Hillage.
I understand your frustration! Adrian Belew, Phil Manzanera, and Steve Hillage are all amazing guitarists. Choosing guitarists for the list was tough, but I'll consider your suggestions for future lists. Thanks for the comment!
votre sondage ne vaut rien il n'y a pas Mark Knopfer sûrement le meilleur qui lui ne joue pas avec le médiator mais avec ces doigt se qui donne un son unique
Mark Knopfler est un guitariste exceptionnel avec un son unique, notamment grâce à son style de finger-picking. Cependant, la liste se concentre sur les guitaristes de rock progressif, c'est pourquoi Knopfler n'y figure pas. Merci pour le commentaire !
