Here’s a great article about Prog Rock Guitar players
that was published recently in Guitar Player Magazine:
When Guitars Went Gargantuan: A Prog Rock Primer
“The first progressive rock artists exploded out of England during the period from 1966-1970. In this era, such groups as Pink Floyd, Yes, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and Genesis appeared. During this fertile time, rock guitar technique took a quantum leap forward, seeing such players as Yes’ Steve Howe and King Crimson’s Robert Fripp eschewing the blues-based Hendrix/Clapton approach and instead inventing very novel ways of playing that were often as cerebral as they were visceral.”
The article continues to go through the history of Prog Rock Guitar, including Steve Howe, Greg Lake, Steve Hackett, Robert Fripp, David Gilmour, Alex Lifeson, and Martin Barre.
