Guitarists similar to Robben Ford?

[philipjkim]

Hello all, first post on this board.

I'm falling in love with Robben's music. Love his phrasing and tones.
It'll be great if you recommend guitarists like him. Album recommendation would be also great.

check out "talk to your daughter" ('87), "Blue Moon" (2002), "into the sun" (2015),
all great examples of Robben's magic and favorite albums that i visit often.
welcome to the G&LDP!

Robben's in a class of his own, but so are the guys below - similar but different.

Larry Carlton - Room 335 (just a bit disco'ish due to it being recorded in 1978) and everything on that record and many more records. Very lyrical player.

Michael Landau - In fact there's a concert on youtube with him and Robben that's great.

Derek Trucks - Killer slide player that puts the right notes in the right places.

Jimmy Herring - Blues & fusion player. Stuff with Aquarium Rescue Unit was great.

Matt Schofield - You can hear the Robben influence in his playing. There's a live clip of The Day You Left that you should check out.
