Favorite Guitarist?
I pick Jimi Hendrix because he had such a large influence on music and plus he was such an amazing man with a great personality. I reccommend the book "A Room Full of Mirrors," it's all about Jimi Hendrix!

I'd like to know your opinions!

RE: Favorite Guitarist?
I have been listening to some Queen today and Brian May is fresh on my mind. He is not my favorite but particularly on the band's first few records, there is some similarity between May and Ritchie Blackmore that I never really put my thumb (or ear to) before.
May has just always had such good sound and harmonics to his guitar and it is a shame that so much of the band's music and image is associated as soft rock or stereotype of a certain class of music listeners. They produced some really good music. Some bordering on classic British blues like Deep Purple or Cream, really.
In an interview once in the early '90's, Jeff Beck once said of Brian May, "He's one of the best pop rock guitarist there is. Everybody plays his stuff. (sarcasm in the next line) Like they should be playin' mine."
You have to be pretty bad at electric guitar for me to not admire your work and I am sure that most of us will mention the usual guitar greats because the bands, the riffs, the music and all those guitarists have given us so much to be enjoyed and criticized and disect. Its make for good discussions, though. Post on, lads and lasses. Post on.

I've been listening to a lot of the Who lately. Moreso than Pink Floyd as of now, which means nothing because of course PF is my favorite band. However, I think David Gilmour, Pete Tonwshend, and Jimi Hendrix are all very close. I'll vote after work later.

David Gilmour has been my hero since I was 8. So it was an obvious choice.
