Jack White is a recent guitarist I like. Other people I love: Scotty Moore Dick Dale Jimmy Page Pete Townshend Steve Cropper Mick Ronson Graham Coxon
I feel bad in retrospect for forgetting Slash...I actually like him a lot. He was the only decent thing to come out of GnR. as for the others....I had to double check names, especially for Tull, cause I couldnt remember the guys name...and I couldnt remember Tim Kelly's first name...old age will do that to ya. btw..I agree about Mustaine...When Im in the mood for that kind of metal...very few can play with the ferocity and speed he does...
Johnny Thunders Angus Young Keith Richards Slash Chuck Berry Marc Bolan Tommi Iommi Randy Rhoads Johnny Ramone Wayne Kramer
Jimmy Page Frank Zappa Roy Buchanan John McLaughlin Jimi Hendrix Stevie Ray Vaughan Eric Clapton Lindsey Buckingham Pete Townsend Robert Fripp Keith Richards Mark Knopfler Richard Lloyd Robert Quine Neil Young Some of these guys are not the best technically, but being able to come up with hall of fame riffs like "Satisfaction" or "Won't Get Fooled Again" or "Cinnamon Girl" is more important than playing like a virtuoso and having a dry well artistically.
David Gilmour is the one i really enjoy listening to the most. He may not have the raw skills like Clapton and Jimmy but he plays stuff that is, for a lack of a better description, that i cant think of right now...beautiful. Other favorites of mine are: SRV Mark Knopfler Hendrix Clapton Jeff Beck Jimmy Paige Slash
Chuck Berry Brian May Steve Cropper Chuck Berry Robbie Robertson Chuck Berry Mike Bloomfield Chuck Berry Ernie Isley Chuck Berry Dave Edmunds Grant Green Jimmy Vivino (seriously) Walter Becker
In no particular order: Jimmie Vaughan Danny Gatton Freddie King T-Bone Walker Hollywood Fats (Michael Mann) Hubert Sumlin Albert Collins
