Who are the best rock guitar duos?
what guitar teams do you like the most?

One really great guitar team is Mike Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop, on the early albums by the Paul Butterfield Blues Band.

1. Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew.
That's all I can think of in terms of bands with two guitarists...

3. Moore and Ranaldo
There's a reason their sound was nicknamed "The Hurricane" back in the 80s.

16. We met Jack Black when they were filming The Pick of destiny.
he was really nice, we met him via his personal umbrella handler, seams the producers wanted to make sure he stayed pasty through the filming. Anyhow my daughter and Niece--(personal umbrella handler connection) did a walk through while they were filming a scene on Venice beach.

15. You said "rock" and not "country"...
...and not "metal" and not "speed metal" and not "thrash" and not "prog" and not any combination of the previous so the answer is Angus Young and Malcolm Young.

23. Malcolm Young doesn't get the credit he deserves.
I know he prefers to stay out of the spotlight, but he is one of the greatest rhythm guitar players around.

Good choice.
