https://padlet.com/FaithIrwin/jswu1aeh5z5y Overview section- My classics cannon is on the guitar players that you MUST know. I chose the criteria albums made, concerts played, and awards won. In order to be essential, a guitar player must have made some albums, rocked out at some concerts, and been awarded. Also, they must have a good work ethic. en-us 2017-03-02 19:39:50 UTC 2025-11-03 01:41:52 UTC hello@padlet.com FaithIrwin https://padlet.com/FaithIrwin/jswu1aeh5z5y/wish/157718329 1- "Record Reviews, Streaming Songs, Genres & Bands." AllMusic.

I picked him to be in my cannon because he has won 21 Awards (overall he had 51 nominations) , created 40 albums, and played a total of 587 concerts, which is why i put him on my list. He and his band The Rolling Stones are a "must know". They blessed so many people with their music, everyone needs to hear about them. ]]> 2017-03-03 19:21:44 UTC https://padlet.com/FaithIrwin/jswu1aeh5z5y/wish/157719293 FaithIrwin https://padlet.com/FaithIrwin/jswu1aeh5z5y/wish/157719322 Although Yngwie Malmsteen didn't win any awards, he is still one of the "need to know" electric guitar players, he's been on countless tours, played countless shows, and created at least 29 albums. His amazing guitar skill should be known all around the world. I picked him to be on my list because of the amount of tours he's been on, which is way too many to count! Yngwie Malmsteen is a need to know. ]]> 2017-03-03 19:21:48 UTC https://padlet.com/FaithIrwin/jswu1aeh5z5y/wish/157719322 FaithIrwin https://padlet.com/FaithIrwin/jswu1aeh5z5y/wish/157719338 B.B. King is an amazing electric guitar player. He's used his amazing skill to create 59 albums, win 14 awards, and  he's used his amazing talent to perform 1034 concerts. In my opinion, he's the best of the best, and an inspiration to many. He deserves to be on this list. ]]> 2017-03-03 19:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/FaithIrwin/jswu1aeh5z5y/wish/157719338 FaithIrwin https://padlet.com/FaithIrwin/jswu1aeh5z5y/wish/157719371 Chet Atkins, also known as mister guitar, Made my list because he made a total of 107 albums. He also won 13 awards and played 8 concerts. He should be placed in the "essential" category because of the number of albums he put out. Anyone with 107+ albums shoukd be known for sure.]]> 2017-03-03 19:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/FaithIrwin/jswu1aeh5z5y/wish/157719371 FaithIrwin https://padlet.com/FaithIrwin/jswu1aeh5z5y/wish/157719387 Chuck berry, although he played 0 concerts,and won only 4 awards, he created 49 albums. One man creating this many albums should be known and appreciated. I picked him to be in my cannon because he had an outstanding work ethic, and did so much influential work all by himself. One man really can change the path of music. ]]> 2017-03-03 19:22:00 UTC https://padlet.com/FaithIrwin/jswu1aeh5z5y/wish/157719387 FaithIrwin https://padlet.com/FaithIrwin/jswu1aeh5z5y/wish/157719402 Wes Mongomery created 30 albums, and won 2 awards, although he didn't play any concerts. He still belongs on my cannon due to his 30 albums. 30 may not sound like a lot, but just like the other guitarists on ny list, Wes Montgomery put his all into these albums. He deserved those 2 awards he got! ]]> 2017-03-03 19:22:03 UTC https://padlet.com/FaithIrwin/jswu1aeh5z5y/wish/157719402 FaithIrwin https://padlet.com/FaithIrwin/jswu1aeh5z5y/wish/157719435 Eric Clapton won 22 awards, played 72 concerts, and created 91 albums. Eric Clapton deserves to be in my cannon because of his number of awards. Just from the awards he won, you can tell he's a hard worker, and an awesome musician. He also played a decent amount of concerts and put out many albums, he's another must know! ]]> 2017-03-03 19:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/FaithIrwin/jswu1aeh5z5y/wish/157719435 FaithIrwin https://padlet.com/FaithIrwin/jswu1aeh5z5y/wish/157719452 Jimmi hendrix played 217 concerts, won 3 awards, and created a total of 8 albums. As you can tell by his outstanding concert appearences, he was an extremely hard worker. A person with only 8 albums playing 217 concerts is amazing. ]]> 2017-03-03 19:22:09 UTC https://padlet.com/FaithIrwin/jswu1aeh5z5y/wish/157719452 FaithIrwin https://padlet.com/FaithIrwin/jswu1aeh5z5y/wish/157719504 1,733 concerts later, and Eddie Van Halen is still performing. His inspiring work ethic and amazing performances are why i picked him to be on my cannon. He also created 19 albums and won a single award. Although he didn't win a lot of awards, Eddie Van Halen is still a must know due to his performances.]]> 2017-03-03 19:22:16 UTC https://padlet.com/FaithIrwin/jswu1aeh5z5y/wish/157719504
