He's a subpar guitar player, though.

James Brown was appearing on Johnny Carson, during the pre-show rehearsal he played every instrument in the orchestra.

Buckethead. He is probably a top 5 guitar player alive, and can shred on a bass. Although obviously lesser known than his guitar work, he can also play keyboards, ukulele, organ, violin, clarinet, saxophone, recorder, drums, gong, and piano.

Paul McCartney is an obvious one, maybe the definitive one.

Todd Rundgren


Criminally underrated.

Others - John Fogerty, Trent Reznor, John Paul Jones, Levon Helm, Steven Winwood

I play drums, bass, all guitars, keys, percussion, all horns, but 1st trumpet and solo alto sax, plus all vocals on this original project. Not in the same league as the world renowned artists mentioned above!!! but a fun project never the less.

You listen to Rundgren's Something/Anything? Mind-blowing, the virtuosity he displayed, the studio manipulation, the multi-tracked vocals. 3 of 4 sides all sounds attributed to him, this dude has been so overlooked when it comes to brilliant, possibly legendary multi-instrumentalists. Plus he's just a real chill, accessible dude who cranks it out to this day.

Not to mention the great albums from the era he produced, staggering. Runt's a total musical force.
