seeing danny gatton in a tiny place in richmond with about 20 other folks redefined the guitar for me.

Some of these guys are just personal favorites, not to be confused with "the greatest of all-time". Here they are, in whatever order they come to me.

Jerry Garcia
Jimi Hendrix
Brian May
John McLaughlin
Tony Iommi
Buckethead
Mark Knopfler
Terry Kath
Kirk Hammett
Dimebag Darrell

Honorable mentions go to Frank Zappa and Eddie Hazel. I know I dig plenty of tunes by both Zappa and P-Funk, but both bands had so many personnel changes that I couldn\'t tell you for sure who played on which tunes, \'cepting the most famous ones.

Edit: errr... probably should add Tim Palmieri to that list.

Edit again: Also, Larry LaLonde and Al DiMeola

I completely disagree, I think he absolutely belongs on this list.

I mean I\'m obviously biased and my list is clearly more of a favorites than a "best" list...but then again all answers are obviously opinion

At least we agree the the Stripes rule!

Strangely enough, I have been thinking about starting a thread a bit like this for "Top Tens". However, such a thread would be not necessarily for what everyone might agree were the "best"/"most influential"/ blah, blah, blah, but more of the"personal favourites" type list. So, Vassillios, it shows there must be others out on the board who feel the same.

I realize it would be biased toward favorites.

My list is obviously focused on the new school.

I am now excited to listen to a lot of these guitarists you all have mentioned.

However, such a thread would be not necessarily for what everyone might agree were the "best"/"most influential"/ blah, blah, blah, but more of the"personal favourites" type list. So, Vassillios, it shows there must be others out on the board who feel the same.

So, in the spirit of ten favourites (with notes - well, you knew mine would be eclectic! ;))...

1. Jerry Garcia - no brainer, really
2. Tim P
3. Slick Aguilar - Jefferson Starship, Slick Aguilar Trio (and formerly KC & the Sunshine Band, Buddy Miles Band and David Crosby Band) Very Beck influenced, but I can listen to his solos for hours.
4=. George Harrison - inimitable sound, especially from 1970 on
4=. Trey Anastasio
6. Randy California (Spirit)
7=. Mike Randle (Baby Lemonade & Love)
7=. Steve Marriott (Small Faces, Humble Pie, Packet of Three)
7=. Jorma Kaukonen (Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna)
10. Jon Gutwillig

Also, in no particular order, special mention to Billy Nershi, David Bromberg, Daevid Allen (Gong), Warren Haynes, Dweezil Zappa, Neil Young, Sam Andrew (Big Brother), Pye Hastings (Caravan), Andy Latimer (Camel), Pete Townshend, Huw Lloyd Langton (Hawkwind), Barry Melton (Country Joe & The Fish), Steve Howe.

Have no doubt forgotten someone, but never mind. I have also steered clear of the usual jimi, zappa, page, santana, clapton, randy names - all fantastic guitarists whose work I love, but not necessarily my favourites. Good to see Wes Montgomery getting some recognition here though, and Steve Morse too - best thing that happened to Deep Purple in years!!
