pete townsend and george harrison, two ridiculously under-rated guitarists

[Eamuesrtsionn]

Pete is probabley the most under rated guitarist in the world. i think hes top 10, not in the 50s like a bunch of the guitarist lists say. Pete kicks ass. WOAH!

@robmk21 i love pete and the who's music. Have loved it since 1970...His style has changed over the last several years.. He leans on the whammy bar alot now and uses a strange two finger technique w/his right hand. Alot of his attempts at single note work are/were horrible. Sometimes he pulled off some amazing solos flying by the seat of his pants, but for the most part they were full of bad notes..

2:02 The flamenco and flourishes influence. I hear it. I didn't realize that! Great stuff.

I like the U2 guitarist (what's his name, in the black cap, I'm not a U2 super-fan). He shows up on many of these "tribute" shows, another being for and about Jimmy Page. Seems like a truly nice, humble, and generous guy.

Anyway, Pete is one-of-a-kind. Good guitarist? Could you carry The Who in something like "Live at Leeds"? I don't mean play the notes, I mean create the show, the whole enchilada that Pete brings, the whole sonic experience, the energy, the rhythm and dynamics?

scalp reduction in 1974, that's why he's not bald in the back

Finally someone that told the truth about who invented rock & roll 7:43 .Not Elvis who completely rip of the blacks of that era.It was many unnamed unheard of blacks that wrote many songs that they never got credit for,but performed deep in the ghetto where white producers would go to steal.Little Richard, And Chuck Berry are just the known ones.Just venting.It just amazing how the white world tries to bury,or steal everything blk,and beautiful.The biggest buried truth.Jesus was a blk man.THUTH

Okay, there's a lot of talk about Pete not being very good but I am really good at playing jazz guitarand I love Pete.............he's one of the best of all time.....(I've been playing jazz guitar for 21 years and make my living with it). Long live Pete!!!!

What most typical guitar fans think is good guitar playing is playing like Yngwie, but no guitar player played like pete, pete would pull shit out of his ass during concerts , chords solos, that no guitarist can pull off. If you listen to live Who no song is the same its always different and its sounds good even if its extremely spontaneus.

Pete and the Who = Greatest Improv Band Ever
