frenchie1281734003 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 John Lennon. Certainly not the most technical of players, but he got such a raw and raunchy tone out of his Casino, that it gets me every time. Here on "The End" after Ringo`s drum solo, McCartney, Harrison & Lennon take it in turns to solo with Lennon third each time. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Marlowe Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Oh yeah!! Donald Roeser is in my top 5 favorite guitar players for sure. I saw BOC in about 1983 and they put on a terrific show. Buck was awesome! Oh yeah! The thing about his solos is they SOUND so simple and easy. But then you try to play them. Esp stuff from their first three albums.

chipwich Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Of all time would definitely be Chris Whitley and if you need a track, it would be 'Phone Call from Leavenworth'. Currently recording would be Gary Clark Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not-Too-Late Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 So many different players with so many different styles in so many different genres. Jazz: Django Reinhardt, Les Paul Blues: Stevie Ray Vaughn, B.B. King Earlier Rock 'n' Roll: Nokie Edwards (still going strong today) Modern Rock: Jeff Beck Country: Chet Atkins Cheers Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Marlowe Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Oh and another guy, Tim "Too Slim" Langford. If you get the chance to see him live do it. You will not regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Me. I ain't dead yet, and I kinda like being here and me. Am I the best player in my favorite kind of music? Nope. But I'm the best player in my favorite kind of music that's inside my skin. m Couldn't have said it better myself about myself. When it's about players who influenced me most, Gary Richrath is the first one coming to my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Cap... All kidding aside, I like to do so many different kinds of music that even if I had real talent instead of just some skill, I would still never be able to master all the stuff I'd like to play at least "well." I'll never be a Chet Atkins, Joe Pass or Segovia. But I can do stuff similar to what they have done, at a level appropriate to my own skills. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr faustus Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Egads - what a task. Not even sure what "favourite" means, but these are the guitarists that I love listening to and that influence my playing: John Lee Hooker, Joe Pass, Emily Remler, Jimi Hendrix, Richard Thompson, Jimmy Page, Paul Foad, Lightnin' Hopkins.... The list goes on. But that's a pretty good mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaZie Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I think Gary Moore was not listed here yet, so let me do it. But I also like Mark Knopfler, Brian May, Neal Schon. I'm impressed with technical skills of Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen and Michael Angelo Batio, but it's not quite the kind of music I like to play.

Campbell Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 As others have pointed out here before me, there are far too many great guitarist to choose a "best". Rather, I'll list my "Top Ten" list of those who have inspired me to play the guitar: Chuck Berry Jimi Hendrix John Lee Hooker B. B. King Albert King Freddie King Keith Richards Mick Taylor Eric Clapton Jimmy Page ...in no particular order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
