Who is the most talented musician at present?

[Burns]

Matt Bellamy

 

[gizmoganzee]

Billy Strings is a startlingly good player and singer.

Agree with this present.

 

[ErichZann]

Zappa

 

[hank williams]

Or past even, since there's probably more talented from the past than today. Stevie Wonder could play a few instruments couldn't he. I love his harmonica solo on there must be an angel and talking of Eurythmics there's another one, Dave Stewart.

Jerry lee Lewis

 

[SHEEPSKINBOOTS]

Roy Wood

 

[Guitar Man]

Taylor Swift..writes her own songs..very talented young lady.

but can she play guitar ,bass,drums,keyboard ???

 

[Mr Vertigo]

Alex Turner

 

[Reedie8610]

Angus young

 

[Harry Gates]

From the past, Prince obviously.

And Roy Castle.

People have different views but talented to me is playing different musical instruments , as well as a half decent vocal...

So lets say everyone is in lockdown again ,they want to do a album ,their bandmates are not available ..who could pull it off ?
Prince
Macca
Bruno mars ( i know )
Dave Grohl

Wolfgang Van Halen too. His inspiration for his album was Dave Grohl and he also plays everything on it.

 

[Big Jeff]

My mate is a massive Prince fan. Reckons he could play 16 instruments or something by the age of 13 or something daft like that. Always thought that was impressive of true.

“At present” is in the title. I am a massive Prince fan but to the best of my knowledge he is dead so there is no “at present” so he does not qualify for this title.

 

[Undisputed Truth]

Rolf Harris.

[Motor City Cobra]

As long As he’s breathing Sir Bryan ferry.

[Harry Angstrom]

Piffle.

one Taylor Swift chorus has more musical ability than Vai’s whole back catalogue. IMHO.

 

[fyl2u]

Zappa
