Too many to name

While I really relate to Joe Satriani's hair style (or lack of), I have to go with Joe Walsh

I have to echo many peoples picks of John Petrucci of Dream Theater and Joe Satriani.
Eddie Van Halen and Stevie Ray Vaughn are extremely good as well.

Sorry T.C. never really got into Joe Walsh.

My Fav 3 are...

1. Kurt Cobain - Nirvana



2. Dimebag Darrell - Pantera



3. Brian May - Queen

I have 2 same Jimi Hendrix man. Listenin to him always gets me outta the bummed out mood, always gets me trippin. those solos are amazing.

maybe bradley nowell too. Sublime always seems to amaze me, they have that perfect blend of punk rock and reggae at the same time. its great.



Jerry Garcia anyone???

Jimi Hendrix, way ahead of his time. Still regarded as the best by many a guitar legend.

Oldies

BB King,
Hendrix
George Harrison

Newbies

Clapton
Brian May
Mark Knopfler
Jon Williams
Santana......................

and of course the great Ravi Shankar................on Sitar.

Billy Jones who played with the outlaws inspires me to want to buy a guitar and take some lessons.

Brent Mason is awsome on country guitar.

My faverioutes are:

1) The man Jimmi Hendrix. Needs no explanation.



2) The rock god that is Jimmy Page, Inventor of the most well known riff in the world.



3) Last but not least, Billy Howerdel, guitarist and founder of A Perfect Circle.



These are in no particula order.

Oh and we mustant forget the god of music himself.
