What kind of guitar music, player do you like?

Guest with Questions

I love guitar, especially spanish, classic or contemp. Brother Apostate mentioned Joaquin Rodrigo on the classic post which I also have.

I would love to hear about artists that I don’t know about. These are some of my favourites.

Marc Antoine

go to listen to samples on above link. I especially love latin quarter, urban gypsy and el matador

Mario Reyes.

I have an Andrea Bocelli CD and Mario Reyes is featured on one of the songs which I just love (Sin tu Amor). I don’’t know if Zucchero is singing on this cut.

I also like Eric Clapton and Carlos Santana.

Hope these links work. It looks like you may need to copy and paste the link. Don't know why this happens.

I like alot of Folk Artists, but for strict guitar playing I guess Joe Satriani and Yngwie Malmsteen.

Funny, but I'm a guitarist and Joe Satriani and Yngwie Malmsteen are among the most universally hated guitarists among my guitar playing friends. I can appreciate their skill, but they are sort of caricatures of that over-blown, speed metal, let me rip through a million notes style. There are some funny YouTube take offs on them.

There are literally dozens upon dozens of guitarists I love, from folk to Latin to rock, jazz, classical and blues. Too many to start making a list, and I discover new ones weekly.

Hi there GWQ

I like all sorts of guitar styles but definitely flamenco and classical. Check out this odd video of one of my favourites Manitas de Plata serenading Bridgitte Bardot . . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Zx0Ta0uAEk

Also a fan of Walter Trout, George Thorogood, Richie Blackmore, Gary Moore and yes Joaquin Rodrigo (that BA has got all round good taste for sure). Bill Nelson and of course Hendrix also.
