I can't believe that I've never commented on this thread.
In no real order:
Steve Howe
Brian May
Randy Rhoads
Jake E Lee
David Gilmour
Jeff Beck
Jimmy Page
Mick Mars
Tony Iommi
Honorable mention to David Bowie for just always picking someone phenomenal to play guitar on any album of his.
For the most part I guess one could guess that I like my classic rock, eh?
No order to this:
1. SRV
2. Jimmy Page
3. Lindsey Buckingham
4. Jimi Hendrix
5. Terry Kaft (Way underrated early Chicago)
6. Mark Knophler
7. Eric Clapton
8. Pete Townsend
9. Rory Gallagher
10. Richie Blackmore, (yeah he is jerk, but good)
In the fine tradition of self recommendation, here is me fronting a band and being a poser.
Nice lists everybody ! Nice selection of various musicians !
And thanks for the you tube Punk ! Pretty cool dude. Keep on playing your music ! It's a healing force as you well know
Apart from the occasional reference to Jimi Hendrix and the odd coloured blues player.. is it only white folk that play this instrument? 99% of these lists are entirely Eurocentric to the exclusion of a wider view of the world; implicitly regarding European culture as pre-eminent and the only valid music that exists.
This post really should be entitled: "Who is your favourite White Guitarist of all time providing he is American or British and had his heyday in the 80's and only plays Rock'n Roll"
There are as many guitar players and styles as there are genres of music. The list below may serve to expand your awareness and hopefully your tastes somewhat..
Way to take a feel good thread about personal favorites vis a v guitar gods and make it something unessarily racial petty and stupid.
its likely not just racial but age reated as well. You see the question related directly to personal experiance and preferaces. If your my age (late 30's) and grew up in the north east of the USA, rock and roll of all sorts was king and guitar rules rock. Guys like eddie van halen are a common theme because we share common cultural experiance. Hindrex the same... If you want a racial discussion how about you start your own "non white guitar gods" thread.... You can and your other racist friends can have fun with that and i will be sure not to read. In the mean time i cited the top five in my personal experiance and will be happy to justify why i think they rock.
Race wont be a reason for any of them.
Me and my racist friends? Because I merely mention the existence of other genres and cultures and styles you dub me as racist? I think you may have just revealed something about yourself there sir.
You are more than entitled to have your opinion as narrow as your tastes in music and guitarists.
