Personally, I'm a Buddy Guy fan. He can phrase with the guitar and the voice. Of course, his protege, Scott Holt, is puttin' it down, as well. Jeff Healey (RIP) was also a fav. Did I mention SRV?
Beyond the Blues cats, I really like Robbie McIntosh, who played with the Pretenders and Paul McCartney. He was a really great role player in these bands- phrasing was his job.
However, my two favourite guitar players for phrasing and just plain banging it out have always been: Danny Gatton and Roy Buchanan.

I've got nothing to sell...am I on the right site?

Oh yes! He's quite great.soulata wrote: phrasing: Derek Trucks
Unfortunately he's always looking like a statue on stage.

I like the guy in Aerosmith. Not Joe Perry. The other guy. The solos in 'Walk This Way' are very tense and abstract, yet musical and very rock.

Derek Trucks is a Dickie Betts wannabe. I've yet to hear something he didn't cop from somewhere else. Warren Hayes gets to revive his role in another Allman brothers poser band.
As far as Santana's lets get popular. I'll admit there are times I enjoyed the material and times I wish someone would turn off his amp. His timing is what sets him apart. He knows how to weave the time continumm as opposed to contemporary "artists" who can't unlock themselves from the drum machine.
Regarding Gamble
Of all the white hot 80's jazz players his is really the most endearing to me.
His playing had two things something many of his followers didn't get which is grace and melody.
Gambale should have been on a steely dan record.
Regarding Larry Carlton
Quick what steely dan song did he play lead on???
None of them.
He only played the rythumn on Josie. The most popular song he is known to have played lead on is the theme song for Hill Street Blues.
What little uniqueness Larry Carlton brought to the world was quickly removed when he change both his bouncy attack and his approach from tonal centering to modal.
An earlier Larry Carlton piece before changing his approach notice the bouncy inflection he delivers in a non blues / trad jazz setting
Now he's all about the blues, can't be bothered to play something that might challenge him.

Gotta disagree on that. I've seen him live not even a year ago with his trio (btw, featuring his son on bass, who's an incredibly groovy player) and there hasn't been much bluesy stuff (neither the tunes nor the playing).tapper mike wrote: What little uniqueness Larry Carlton brought to the world was quickly removed when he change both his bouncy attack and his approach from tonal centering to modal.

I've never been too much of a Carlton fan, but that concert was downright fantastic. Fwiw, the best tunes have been those when he played acoustic - was his best playing as well (at least for me). Ah well, and they played "Kid Charlemagne". Quite a task in a guitar based trio, but it's been absolutely great.
