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 . And I feel Angus Young should be mentioned too!

All are my opinons.

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.

Thankyou,
Just I remember reading your posts a while back and enjoying them...
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?
