How many do you recognize?

[Mr. Air]

I got this picture of famous guitar players from a friend of mine and thought it would be fun to share with the BKP family

My input:

12 - Jack White
19 - Dave Gilmour (?)
25 - John Frusciante
28 - Gary Moore (?)
29 - Jerry Garcia

[Mr. Air]

29. could also be Jeff Lynne...

[Ian Price]

Maybe - it's the green decal on the strat that tells me it is Jerry Garcia though:

[Mr. Air]

I think you're right  :D

[JDC]

10. is obviously Ted from Bill and Ted's excellent adventure

[Philly Q]

I'm struggling mainly because the picture's too small, but I'll go for:

19. Dave Gilmour (agreed with Ian, but not totally sure)
30. ????? (totally stumped by this one)
35. Mike Bloomfield (??? although actually the posture of no. 28 looks more like Bloomfield)

Do you have the correct answers?  :?

[Telerocker]

19: agree it's David Gilmour (in his Guinness T-shirt)
28: Gary Moore ?
29: agree about Jerry Garcia
30: Eric Johnson ?
35: Peter Green ?

[Philly Q]

I'm definitely going for:

28. Mike Bloomfield

And on a hunch I did a bit of Googling and found a picture which gives me:

30. Ry Cooder

(What a cool guitar!  :o )

[Telerocker]

You could be right Philly about 30, the shirt is spot on.

[Philly Q]

And the matching headstock Strat, I do love a matching headstock!  :D

I was just thinking "I think that's Ry Cooder" when I scrolled down to Philly's post :)

20, the Kiss guy would be Ace Frehley (if the LP has 3 pickups) or Tommy Thayer (if it only has two). hard to make out.

thats not a great contribution i know, but i like the quiz :)

[gwEm]

35: Peter Green ?

definitely agree

[Philly Q]

Good spot, gwEm.  :D

(Edit:  Whenever I see Peter Green, I'm always struck by what an extreme physical transformation he's undergone.  It's not just the age and weight gain, he simply isn't recognisable as the same person.  It's genuinely weird.  :? )


And yes, I'm sure 20 is Ace Frehley, not Tommy Thayer.

Does that mean we've got the lot?
