Who are your favorite guitarists? I don't necessarily care whether or not you think they're the best technically. Whose style really connects with you?

Kevin Phillips
D Boon, Jason Molina, joe reinhart
Brody James
Django reinhart or David Gilmor
Angel Hernandez
Steve Howe, has amazing , creative, diverse and unique style, uses hybrid picking amazingly. He made some of the most excellent and joyful riffs I've ever heard. IE the middle acoustic section in the middle of Starship Trooper. For the next, I don't think Eric Johnson has made much great music, but watching him perform Cliffs Of Dover live made me love how he cleanly he plays and with grace and melody. Also Robert Fripp is the most technical player I've seen who also can sound good while playing inhuman riffs.
Gabriel Peterson
In terms of technical skill? Steve Howe or Al Di Meola.
In terms of just who I think sounds good? Steve Howe as well, Pat Metheny, Dave Gregory/Andy Patridge, and Steven Wilson.
Ayden Bailey
Technically, Al DiMeola or Alan Holdsworth.
Faves: Geordie Walker, Andy Summers, Fripp and lately been getting into Ry Cooder.
youtu.be
Josiah Diaz
Probably Bert Jansch.
Brayden Clark
Robert Fripp, Andrew Belew, Jim Hall, Steve Howe, Kevin Shields, Grant Green, Rudolf Sosna, Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir and Pat Metheny. In no particular order (except Fripp, who is objectively the best guitarist of all time)
Man, if you're gonna mention Starship Trooper, how can you not be talking about that crazy modal solo at the end? It's easily a contender for one of the most harmonically and melodically inventive things Howe ever composed.
Kevin Myers
Jimi Hendrix, of course.
Jimi Page (yeah i'm being real original with these)
Robert Fripp
the Slint guys
Ian Mc Kaye and Guy Pidgeotto as a combo
And motherfucking Rory Gallagher. he's probably my favourite guitarist ever.
Ryan Bell
u already know
Kevin Price
Whoa there, not so fast.
Xavier Bailey
...
Aiden Johnson
Chilton is ridiculous on this
Joshua Walker
Agreed on Fripp. You're totally right on the last section. My musical knowledge isn't great so I'll pay more attention to the solo at the end. The progression is sweet though and the variations he has on it
Jonathan Butler
I love starship trooper, howes work on that song and the whole Yes Album is outstanding. If you like that, check out the title track from Steve Hackett's album Voyage of the Acolyte, he does a really cool scale modulation in the melody.
Jason Clark
For me, he's definitely one of the most defining "jangly" guitarists. His playing style is instantly recognizable and just sounds so good to the ears
Caleb Rivera
Rivers Cuomo, J Mascis, Joe Santiago
Julian Russell
he's gr8 but keef is on a whole other level
Nathaniel Hernandez
John Frusciante. True artist. lot of emotion and love in his playing. I like that he keeps things simple and focuses on the overall song.
Nolan Parker
objective best answer
Wyatt Robinson
:^)
Jaxson Walker
+ greg sage in close second place
Zachary Lee
I still have to say Hendrix.
Julian Gutierrez
Tony Iommi
Liam Thomas
Okay, I'll finally get around to naming some of my own.
George Harrison
Jerry Garcia
Mick Taylor
Robbie Robertson
And then some blues guys Sup Forums might not care about like Albert King, Taj Mahal, Robert Cray, and Junior Kimbrough.
Brody Reyes
...
Ryder Reed
Dave Gilmour, for solos. Andy Summers for riffs.
Bentley Collins
ah crap, forgot Dickey Betts for vocals and jamming.
Angel Reed
yea, i love his solo stuff just as much(or more) as his playing with rhcp.
I really liked the stuff he put out on soundcloud, those guitar tracks with the drum machines are awesome. I wish he'd release more stuff
Easton Lee
Jim croce is the GOAT
Joshua Barnes
Johnson live at Austin City Limits is some of the best guitar playing ever captured, imo
Chase Collins
John Fahey
George Harrison
Bert Jansch
Nick Drake
Robbie Basho
Hudson Martinez
Yesssss. I am glad to hear that, there seems to be a lot of disappointed people with his last works. I think experimental process is crucial for any artist..
(I prefer his solo stuff, it's another way of feelingicouldntexplainasdlñkf) Gnight

Looked him up and he sounds interesting. Care to name some of his most essential recordings?
Thomas Collins
Roy Buchanan:

Brody Rivera
...
Benjamin Lee
My favourites are
Based Rory
Joe Pass
John Frusciante
John Squier
The bloke from Mac Demarcos band
Adrian Kelly
...
Connor Ross
His recordings with Miles Davis are an essential listen. Agarta, Pangaea and Dark Magus are good records to start with.
Christopher Ross
Neil Young
Robert Fripp
Mick Taylor
Eddie Hazel
Cosey Fanni Tutti
Keith Rowe
John Fahey
Anthony Robinson
Martin Barre of Jethro Tull. Man's an utter genius.
Andre Olbrich of Blind Guardian, knows the true importance of the space between notes. A Stattaco God.
Alex Lifeson, Eddie Van Halen, there are so many obvious gods you enjoy as a teenager before you begin to play the instrument and start looking for Guitarist's Guitar Players. People like Andreas Segovia, Les Paul, Preston Reed, Tuck Andress is another massively and forever under-rated genius who is on the same tier as Shawn Lane in terms of technical prowess, phrasing, and true understanding of musical theory on an almost spiritual level.
Daniel Taylor
Gurt Gobane
t. Spurdo
Henry Hughes
Ted Greene. Most classical guitarists.
Ted Greenes baroque improvisation is incredible:

This guy is pretty cool too, Jerome Ducharme:

Lincoln Taylor
ANDREW LATIMER THE GOD OF TONE
Logan Lopez
I was just about to post that. Too bad he is virtually unknown and underrated. Just listen to these songs:
youtu.be
youtu.be
There are a few players that can make a Les Paul truly sing and Andrew Latimer is certainly one of them.
Colton Johnson
kevin shields
mac demarco
isaac brock
Jayden Walker
David Gilmour
Eli Sullivan
Eddie Hazel
Jimi Hendrix
Carlos Santana
John Mclaughlin
These guys can make their soloing reach spiritual places.
Jonathan Reyes
sounds good
Benjamin Hughes
I'd add Allan Holdsworth to your list. Just listen to this:
youtu.be
youtu.be
Carter Flores
Zappa.
Also, Makoto Kawabata is pretty good, but he gets overshadowed by Tsuyama Atsushi, who is the best bassist alive in my opinion. Very sad he retired recently.

Hudson Johnson
Definitely.
Jordan Davis
Jeff Buckley
Nathaniel Turner
Jimi Hendrix
Mac DeMarco
David Gilmour
Jack White
Alvin Lee
Rory Gallagher
I think Jimi Hendrix is in terms of creativity unbeaten. He set high standards for guitar playing which are valid even today.
Eli Nguyen
Tom delonge is a god

Jonathan Carter
(^:
Adam Ward
Never really gave it a thought, but all things considered probably Jorge Strunz.
Mason Morris
>those pick slides
>that out of place spastic drumming
Michael Gray
Sup Forums I am disappoint
Leo Lopez
Good fuckin pick, but then you have to add a little Les Paul.
Jose Gonzalez
Christ, the guy can play. First time actually checking him out.
Aaron Green
Les was great, but there were always a few too many showman trick in the live stuff.
His real greatness for me was his studio stuff, in particular his arrangements (and Mary's close harmonies as a topper)
Nicholas Nguyen
I will always hold a spot for Angus and Malcolm Young in the early years, basically learned the guitar teaching myself the Bon Scott era stuff. Shame they went down the commercial route, I don't really listen to any of the stuff after Flick of the Switch.
Derek Trucks is really good, listening to a lot of his stuff lately. And of course, Roy Buchannan.
Tyler Flores
Julian Bream
Nick Drake
Brayden Wilson
And hard to fucking play cleanly
Nathan Evans
Tom Morello is bretty gud.
Xavier Martinez
>John Perry
was this a troll? this was fucking terrible on any level
Henry Thompson

the lads from toe 2bh
when i started playing it was johnny greenwood
Jose Campbell
Well Frusciante is a given
Jordan Morris
>Cosey Fanni Tutti
Jace Kelly
Cortez the Killer is one of my favorite ballads
Alien boy lol
Jeremiah Hughes
based fahey and basho
kottke is also pretty good
Alexander Bennett
he's got great tone and makes god tier melodies sym
Jason Clark
Tim Lash + Matt Talbott
John Reis + Rick Froberg
Elliott Smith
Josh Homme
Leo Turner
Trey Anastasio connects the most with me. He's technically sound, and can groove like a motherfucker. Personally, I just love jamband guitar playing in general. It's predictably unpredictable and consistently good. Trey personifies that jamband type of guitar playing better than anyone, even jerry. But don't take anything away from Garcia, he's still, imo, the greatest guitar player of all time
Ryan Scott
Mark Hollis lads
Mason Smith
Some fantastic riffs, awesome solos, his lyrics have come on a lot over the last decade or so and he's an amazing vocalist.
Not everyone's cup of tea and Manic's have definitely become a little MOR but I still love them. More love for James.
David Clark
Jimi Hendrix
Rory Gallagher
Gary Moore
John Frusciante
Colton Baker
This guy. and also Gary Clark Jr.
Robert Richardson
Gary Moore, especially his 80s stuff even though that shit's shot down often. Short of Jailbreak, he helped make some of Thin Lizzy's best music. And Wild Frontier is fukin goat
Samuel Rivera
Technical:
Omar Rodriguez Lopez
John Frusciante
Technique, Atmospheric shit:
Kevin Shields
J Spaceman
Thurston Moore
Eli Jones
Kurt Cobain, Alex Turner, Matt Bellamy
Juan Moore
he's so fucking VARIED my man
Julian Watson
>tfw I met tuck before I realized he was such a huge deal
I should have gotten more out of that clinic but whatever, he's amazing
Jackson Long
>Rivers Cuomo
Literally the most underrated lead player in history
Other than him I love Hendrix, Fruciante, Santana, and Jerry Cantrell
Jaxson James
Jason Becker
Alex Lifeson
Gary Moore
John Mayer
Zachary Jones
Not my favorite to listen to, but still my favorite guitarist. So loveable
Jeremiah Sanchez
You can hate their music but you have to admit he's one hell of a guitarist
Andrew Perez
Jah Wobble, Thundercat & Buddy Guy.
Benjamin Reed
Satchel is cool as fuck.
Adam Morales
His pedigree is dank as fuck, being an instructor and in Halfold's post-Priest band.
A buddy and I caught separate picks from him during their show a few months ago in Reno.
Nicholas Anderson
this
extremely underrated and so great. Him and Frusciante are prolly my most favourite guitarists
