Ry Cooder
Jimi Hendrix
Mark Knopfler
Ricky Wilson. (B-52's)
Thurston Moore
Bob Mould
Nile Rodgers. (Chic)
Ernie Isley (Isley Brothers)
Mick Ronson
Joni Mitchell
Chet Atkins
Ellen McIllwaine
Duane Eddy
James Taylor
Dickie Betts
John McLaughlin

Ah man I have so many favorites, but probably my top two (mostly because I try to emulate them in my own guitar playing) are David Gilmour and Jeff Beck.

That being said, I have tons of guitarists I love.

Also, apropos of nothing, Vito Bratta is a personal favorite who has never gotten the love he deserves (likely because he was in a hair metal band). Same with Reb Beach.

I wish there was someone as entertaining as Roy Clark again.

Can u believe i had Roy Clark on my list but i edited it out because I thought nobody would know who it is and thed ask questions?
Well obviously I was wrong, so I should just put him right back on my list, right? heh heh
I also had Les Paul but took hin off too.

I also thought people would say 'Hes just a banjo player, not a guitar player". Lol

Really really lots of them.

But I guess I could say the following really stand out from the crowd and I enjoy their playing with great passion:

Eric Clapton
Gary Moore
Mark Knopfler
Jeff Beck
Brian May
David Gilmour
