Great lists but I’m amazed no ones mentioned Clapton or Hendrix.

Well in no particular order somewhere in my top ten there are these but there’s I’m sure a few I’ve missed out and would want to change my mind on!

 

 

Tom Morello

Kirk Hammet

Mark Knopfler

Slash

Brian May

Bob Dylan

Jonny Ramone

 

 

[spacemunky]

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Had the pleasure of seeing him live 4 times.

 

Jeff Beck -  Saw him 3 times live.

 

Randy Rhoads - Died way too young.

 

 

I could do a much longer list, but those 3 are my top choices.

Love his style. Got to see him at the Hummingbird Birmingham in the early 90's. He was so.off his head he hardly played a note, was so disappointed. 

[masterg59]

Rory Gallagher, saw him a few times back in the day.

[joachim1965]

Brian May , Slash , Gary Moore, Richie Sambora.

When I was a guitarist I spent a lot of time trying to emulate the likes of:

 

Tom Morello

Steve Vai 

Joe Satriani 

Yngwie Malmsteen

Paul Gilbert

 

That's why I gave up. 

[Soup]

Growing up as a kid I used to love Angus Young and as time went on I appreciated how good his brother Malcom was.

 

Nile Rogers is a great guitarist and Prince is overlooked as a guitarist imo, little man could play!  

[FerrisBueller]

Hendrix

George Harrison

Prince

BB King

Peter Green

Johnny Greenwood

Eric Gale

 

A few that spring to mind.

[Dr Marco]

forgot Richard Thomspon

[Alf Bentley]

- Wilko Johnson (Dr. Feelgood, Ian Dury & Blockheads, solo)

- Stuart Adamson (Skids, Big Country)

- Steve Jones (Sex Pistols)

- Link Wray

- Duane Eddy

- Michael Rother (Neu!)

- Barney McKenna (Dubliners) on banjo & mandolin, as I suspect there'll be no demand for a "Favourite Banjoists" thread. 

 

Oh, and chuck in Viv Albertine (Slits) for equal opportunities...

[Fox92]

In order of my favourites (I think):

 

Johnny Marr

Jimmy Page (I think Stairway To Heaven includes my favourite guitar solo)

George Harrison

Jimi Hendrix

Keith Richards

Chuck Berry

Dave Davies

Eric Clapton

 

i can’t keep editing this, too many to mention!
