And I don't mean Terry Kath though in all reality he probably is one of the best ever, period. I would say who is the "best" guitar player to ever hail from here but I know its very subjective so we'll go with who is your favorite from our fair city?

I don't know how to answer this question. The only Chicago guitar player I know of is Frank.

Fuck Buddy Guy. I'm sure I told you the story about the time we opened for him at his club and he turned off half the PA.

And I don't really judge musicians on skills, but I'll take my guy, Billy Harnden against anyone.

When I was playing in my hardcore band I never had any greater aspirations than being the favorite band of both the skinheads and the Goons. I figured that was a big accomplishment. :lol: But playing with Bill was a lot more serious. Music was his whole life. It still is. Now he's making guitars and pedals: http://www.hardenengineering.com/

Anyway, Bill had set up a gig opening one of the January dates at Buddy's. We were at a real peak. I mean fucking top edge at the time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbjXmIy8WkQ
Bill was still drinking and we could get pretty nasty too. So we're on stage soundchecking with "Delta 88" and it sounds awesome. Bill is playing the solos like a fucking savage. All of a sudden about half the sound drops off. We stopped and started looking around like "what the fuck happened?" Some douchebag is there running the shit and he says, "Mr. Guy wants you to play like this." Bill went fucking apeshit. Rightfully so too. You're supposed to be this guitar god and you're afraid of getting smoked by some goof from Lombard? And you're cheating the audience. That was always a core value with us- play your ass off. When we paid for a show we expected it and when we played one we did it. Why should Buddy's customers have half a show with less than great sound? Because Buddy is an asshole?

I wrote a little about it here:

Hubert Sumlin was a great player. I think most people would consider him a sideman rather than a star, but that motherfucker could play the guitar. And he was one of the few old bluesmen who gave you an honest effort every time. Carey Bell was another. Carey Bell was so much better than Junior Wells. Maybe not in technique or legend but in the effort he put out. Junior was always half-assing it, fucking around with white broads and shuckin' and jivin' for German tourists. My wife thinks that I'm being "racist" by saying that. But I've gotten pissed at plenty of white performers for cheating me. You could ask Rick Rizzo or Dean Wareham. It's just that most of those old blues guys made an artform out of giving their audiences minimal effort. All they had to do to get adulation from people from Germany, Japan, and Naperville was stumble on stage at FitzGerald's or Kingston Mines. It had to be shocking when guys like me and Bill called them out on their bullshit.

And look, I didn't begrudge these guys their 300 balloons and an occasional blowjob from a twenty-something white chick on a Friday night after they had worked a fifty hour week at the Ford plant on Torrance and fucking Jimmy Page was living in a goddamn castle from stealing their work. But when you take my fifteen or twenty fish or whatever it is, now it's personal between me and you. If you don't give me an effort, I will let you know about it rather than standing and clapping like a trained seal.

The worst offender- and the most talented guitarist- I've ever seen is Melvin Taylor. I'm sure some of you have seen him. Rosa's is his regular spot. Tony comes out and announces him: "And now... Melvin-uh Taylor and the Slack-uh Band-uh!!!!!!!!" And Melvin comes out there and he can cover the entire fretboard with one giant paw and he has so much talent and so much ability and he usually just gives you this half-hearted show, like a reluctant kid who has been ordered to mow the lawn or something. Fuck that.

And if the topic were most famous or virtuosic guitar player from Chicago you would have a valid point. He's no Yngwie Malmsteen but I like his style of playing, he wrote a lot of cool riffs for a band I really like- hence favorite. Not to malign Chris Cornell- he's a great singer and still the centerpiece of that band- but have you heard his solo stuff? It's like Soundgarden minus the good songs.

Preference doesn't always correlate with talent.

That song on the Singles soundtrack is pretty great.

Agreed. Kim isn't exactly a Chicago talent though. Kinda the same way Corgan isn't a Florida talent. The gun riff and Jesus christ pose riff are amazing. Iirc both were previous Chris being more than a frontman. Morello is more "Chicago" though.

To your other question I never listened to his solo album.
