Guitarists
 

OK - Coronation Street is on again, and I'm bored. :)
I've just read that Eric Clapton is to auction several of his guitars - so who is your favourite guitarist?

I'm going out on a limb with Steve Rothery....

Phil

He's done that before. He auctioned his black Strat (called Blackie) for charity a few years ago. Went for a few hundred thousand quid IIRC.

Favourite guitarist? There isn't one, there are several - it depends on my mood... David Gilmour, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Johnson, Steve Vai and Joe Satriani to name a few. Someone who has been in G3 - that'll probably do!

[I]Edit: oooh 2000th post :D[/I]

Hmmmm, favourite guitarist?

Dave Gilmour certainly; Steve Vai certainly (thanks for the Vai reminder Chris!); Gary Moore; John Lee Hooker (ok, he only twangs strings instead of being a real guitar player but...); Eric Clapton; Tony Levin (bass guitarist for Peter Gabriel and inventor of The Stick) err...... that'll do :)

Cheers

And don't forget (and how could I forget) Kirk Hammet!

Billie-Joe Armstrong from the magnificent Greenday and maybe the Edge from U2 :-)

At the risk of sounding so far up my own a*se I can see daylight, Billy Joe Armstrong is a technically great guitarist but he's got a rhythm and a lyrical style thats just brilliant. Also, easy to play - thanks Billy Joe! :D

In the UK at present? - Chris Montague and Mike Outram

Oh, and Satchel from Steel Panther...

If you've not heard of them, don't mind really really crude hard rock and have a sense of humour then it's worth checking them out. Imagine the Darkness with more talent, more volume and much much more vulgarity...

Never too old to rock and roll..Martin Barre of Jethro Tull..........look up Aqualung on You tube .Going since 1969 or thereabouts and still amazing .

John Williams
