D.

He is very tommy Emmanuel (who I think is amazing), but for just shortness of years and playing time (4 years so I am told) Gareth Pearson.

My second post in this thread, a few more of my faves.

Neil Young- electric & accoustic- simple but deadly effective.
Andy Fairweather Lowe- backup man to the stars.
Anyone who played in Skynrd.
Richard Thompson- criminally underrated player.
I mentioned Peter Green a few times in my last post but it would'nt be right not to leave out Jeremy Spencer & Danny Kirwan too.
Buddy Whittington- John Mayalls longtime guitarist.
Mick Taylor (Stones, JM & the Bluesbreakers)

And lastly a controversial one- Mr Ike Turner. Kind of consigned to the history books for obvious Tina beating reasons but I just love his sound. Bright & piercing was his signature sound- apparently he played like that just to stand out in the band more! A very funky player.

I can,t believe no one has mentioned Yngwie Malmsteen, he is a real guitarist,s guitar player, his tecnique is astoundind !!!!!!!!.:)

for non porno music?

he has a ton of different styles across his albums, although as of late though its been less frequent to prove that point, check out anything from the engines of creation cd or the self titled album, both completly different from each other, his older stuff has much more crazy technical stuff going on... not of this earth is pretty interesting too.. i persum you know the classics from surfing with the alien and flying in a blue dream, + the good all round extremist, crystal planet and strange beautiful music




and malmsteen we all know he's good but hes a douche and 90% of people feel the same way that its boring after a while


dont know if buckethead was mentioned but he's probably one of the best, tons and tons of album and some are completly crazy and different, he's a genius

I wouldn't say he's my favourite (SRV is) but John 5, Marilyn Manson's former guitarist is an amazing guitarist, and nobody seems to know about it... To put his diversity and skill in perspective:

eric roche on the acoustic side

How about the amazing Tim Renwick

Eric Johnson - great tone, technique and ear. Cliffs of Dover anyone?
Joe Satriani - Easiest rock instrumentalist to listen to, anyone can listen to Joe
Derek Trucks - Best reknowned for slide. He can make the guitar sound like a soul singer belting it out!
Darrell Abbott "The Dime" - Theres no-one else that can successfully put the 2 words 'groove' and 'metal' together without sounding crap
Zakk Wylde - Great technique and energy, solo's with Ozzy are song's of their own. Very good acoustic stuff too
Steve Vai - Rythymically makes his guitar phrases sound like a person talking
Nuno Bettencourt - Very under-rated, very awesome
Rory Gallagher - Presence, power, emotion. You can nearly tell what kind of person he was by listening to how he plays.
Yngwie Malmsteen - Douche yes, boring yes, but technically great, check out the classical thing he did
James Hetfield - The best metal rythym guitarist ever
I could go on for days........
And of course Jimi Hendrix - Inspired legends to pick up the guitar

Paul Gilbert
David Gilmour
Kirk Hammet

Doug Aldrich...one of the best hard rock guitarists today!
