name your favorite and why.
Jimmy Page for me, he can skillfully play soooo many different styles of guitar and used many in his music. And because of White Summer.

Dimebag Darrell (avatar)
He had such passion for music, plus he was an amazing guitar player. He could play at lightning fast speed, or make his guitar scream like a dying pig, or play a riff so heavy and chunky, it makes your bowels vibrate, and at times, he could play very softly, and mellow.

Hi Az.,
You're very perceptive; it's been about that long. But I can't resist checking in from time to time.
All the names dropped so far are way better than I am; I just get a creative jolt whenever I manage to break new ground. More satisfying than listening to somebody else, but I try to learn from them all.
My all time favorite was Hendrix. His studio work I mean; on stage he clowned around too much. The guy had a knack for discovering sounds nobody had ever thought of before.
TR
I like Pheobe Bueffet from Friends....she brings a tear to my eye when she plays Smelley Cat lol
Hendrix: Best overall
Roger McGuinn: Best on 12 string
George Harrison: Best on slide

Page, Dime Bag, Hendrix, Petrucci
One person got it right on here. There's a few at the top of my list.. Jeff Beck because he's so innovative and unique, so funky but so original, ask Jimmy Page who is favourite guitarist is, he'll let you know how much Beck rocks. Jimmy Page of course because he'll go all across the board of styles and work it right. Eric Clapton because nobody touches him in blues rock. And of course B.B. King, he's the king of blues for a reason.
And to whomever said James Hetfield.. I think you ment Kirk Hammett:D . And I feel Angus Young should be mentioned too!
All are my opinons.
eric clapton and david gilmour...so much emotion in their playing
favorite players are emotional players Gilmour and Santana
Thankyou,Quote:

You kinda stuck in my mind (and your avatar), along with a few others who don't post anymore.
I have to agree about Dave Gilmour, he does put so much emotion across in his guitar and his voice, they go extremely well together...I guess some people just have a knack for playing guitar in such an extrodinary way.
And alot of people mention Hendrix here, I haven't listen to very much of his stuff....just the really mainstream stuff (purple haze, that "foxy lady" song etc etc) I might go and check out some of his stuff.....any suggestions anyone?
Top 5, not in any particular order:
Santana
Clapton
Bonnie Raitt
Mark Knopfler
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Angus' top 10:
Jimi Hendrix
Jimmy Page
Warren Haynes (of gov't mule)

As much as i love Jimmi, Jerry(RIP), thankfully music, like most other things , contniue to advance, excell, change. This is where Tony Rice enters the picture. He has taken guitar playing to heights that even Garcia did admire, and Hendrix would of admire. My hopes are that 10 years from now another will step up and , so on, and so on.
Some of Tony's most mind boggling playing can be found on a cd called, The Pizza Tapes.

I'd say don't miss Electric Ladyland and Axis, The Cry of Love has a few nice moments, as well as Rainbow Bridge.
I wonder if the recently purchased warehouse full of stuff saved by Bill Graham has anything Hendrix fans (or any other 60's performers) would be interested in. Check Wolfgang's Vault, or so they said on that Sunday morning CBS magazine show.....
Gilmore, Santana, or anybody else who plays with emotion and/or soul is good in my opinion; the so called technicians leave me cold.
How about Eric Gales? He was even left handed. Whatever happened to him?
Eric Johnson did Hendrix better than Hendrix, in some ways, for someone who's leaning toward the technical side. Good player.
Why are so many of the good guitar players named Eric?

Randy Rhoads (r.i.p.)
Tony Iommi
Stevie Ray Vaughn
mine with some information
Joe Satriani was inspired to play guitar at age 14 after hearing that Jimi Hendrix had died. Satriani reportedly heard the news during a football training session where he immediately confronted his coach and announced that he was quitting to become a guitarist. Starting in 1974, he studied music with jazz guitarist Billy Bauer and with reclusive jazz pianist Lennie Tristano. The technically demanding Tristano greatly influenced Satriani's playing. During the 1970's, Satriani also began teaching guitar, with his most notable student being fellow Long Island native Steve Vai. In 1978, he moved to Berkeley, California to pursue a music career. He continued to teach guitar in California, and his students included: David Bryson (Counting Crows), Kevin Cadogan (Third Eye Blind), Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Larry LaLonde (Primus)), Alex Skolnick (Testament), Phil Kettner (Laaz Rockit) and Charlie Hunter.
When his friend and former student Steve Vai gained fame playing with David Lee Roth in 1986, Vai raved about Satriani in several interviews with guitar magazines. In 1987, Satriani's second album Surfing With the Alien produced popular radio hits, and was the first all-instrumental release to chart so highly in many years. Satriani also toured Australia and New Zealand with Mick Jagger in support of the Rolling Stones singer's solo album.
In 1989, Satriani released the album Flying in a Blue Dream. The album sold well, particularly in Texas. It was heavily promoted by KLBJ-FM in Austin. One Big Rush was featured on the soundtrack to the Cameron Crowe movie Say Anything. The Forgotten Part II was featured on a Labatt Blue commercial in Canada in 1993. Big Bad Moon, one of Satch's few singles with personally sung vocals, was a big hit in 1991-1992.
In 1992, Satriani released The Extremist, his most critically acclaimed and commercially successful CD to date. Radio stations across the country were quick to pick up on Summer Song, while Cryin', Friends and the title track were regional hits. The CD is now considered a rock classic.
In late 1993 Satriani joined Deep Purple as a short-term replacement for departed guitarist Ritchie Blackmore during the band's Japanese tour. The concerts were such a success Satriani was asked to join the band permanently, although his long-term contract with Sony prevented this happening. In 1996, he formed G3, a concert tour featuring three instrumental rock guitarists -- originally Satriani, Vai, and Eric Johnson. The G3 tour has continued periodically since its inaugural version, where Satriani and Vai are returning members, featured with a floating third member, including Eric Johnson, Yngwie Malmsteen, John Petrucci, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Robert Fripp, Patrick Rondat and more.
Satriani is also credited on many other albums, including guitar duties on Alice Cooper's Hey Stoopid (1991), Spinal Tap's Break Like the Wind (1992), Blue Ã?yster Cult's Imaginos (1988), band members Stu Hamm and Gregg Bissonette's solo albums, and many others including countless guitar heroes-style albums. Interestingly, he was credited for singing background vocals on the 1986 debut album by Crowded House. In 2003, he played lead guitar in The Yardbirds' CD release Birdland. In 2006 he guested on several tracks for Deep Purple's vocalist Ian Gillan's solo CD/DVD dual disc Gillan's Inn
Santana, Steve Morse, Eddie, Eric...Jeff "skunk" Baxter, and Duane Allman. Just because. Soulful riffs, that stick in your head.
