I love many guitarists, but some of them would be Larry Coryell, Jeff Beck, Ollie Halsall, Ray Gomez, Scott Henderson, Johnny Winter, Rory Gallagher, Ronnie Montrose, Roy Buchanan, John Goodsall, Al di Meola, Ronnie Earl, Paul Gilbert, Pat Travers, Frank Marino, Frank Zappa, Hendrix and Carlos Santana. More of the old school here, but I think they had more soul than a lot of the modern shredders.

I would say my favourite guitarist are:
Angus and Malcolm Young, Most of my play style is based off of Malcolm's approach to rhythm guitar as well as some of my Lead playing is based off of Angus's licks. But I would say I'm more influenced by Malcolm. if i pick up my guitar, the first ever lick i play is a open chord over driven lick in the same way Malcolm did it and still does.
Malcolm and Angus Young: My play style is mostly based off of Malcolm
Nigel Hendroff (Hillsongs Lead Guitarist): Everything I know regarding triads and higher octave chord progression and inversions I learned by watching him.
Mark Knopfler: He's finger picking play style is something I have been working on for the last couple of months. I know there are other guitarists that do it too, but he was the first I saw.
Andy from the proguitarshop.com videos on youtube. That dude should make a record. Cause he is good.

Cool to see Gilmour popping up on so many people's lists. He's gotta be near the top of mine too. Along with Gilmour and the obligatory Hendrix and Page, here are some of mine (for the moment; it changes)
Duane Allman (suppose you gotta include Dicky Betts here too?)
Warren Haynes
Derek Trucks (spot a pattern anyone?)
Kim Thayil
Paul Kossoff
Ace from Skunk Anansie

A reformed Soundgarden? Hopefully he'll bring the riffage and there'll be none of the kind of k@k that Cornell did on the last solo album of his.

AAAhh Chad you are a genius...but you already knew that didn't you? ?

Dave Mustaine's recent extreme right wing nutter statements of late have put me off a wee bit but it doesn't mean he doesn't play a mean guitar ?

He does have a big mouth these days doesn't he. But yeah, that won't spoil those tight riffs :bopping:

Mustaine has always been one of my favourite guitar players as well but I've always thought of him as a bit of an arrogant anus (granted, he can back most of it up though, he is THAT good).
There are so many that I call favourite: Steve Morse, John Petrucci, Vinnie Moore, Steve Vai, Guthrie Govan, Paul Gilbert, Randy Rhoads, Eddie Van Halen...lately I've been completely blown away by Rusty Cooley's technique but for amazing chops AND incredible emotion I would have to say my favourite favourite would probably have to be the late great Shawn Lane!

This man is basically my Messiah, I think that every guitarist on this earth should be exposed to the live version of Powers Of Ten, to me it ranks as required listening...

Been listening to Clutch pretty much non-stop since discovering them last year some time and Tim Sult has become one of my favourites.
Brent Hinds from Mastodon too ?
