I have yet to meet a guitar player who doesn't like to talk about how awesome their guitar hero is. I like to here people talk about them too because it gives me new sources of inspiration.
My favorite guitarist is Slash. I love his stage persona with the top hat and his les Paul. I love how he brings the pentatonic and major scales to life. I love that he plays rhythm as well as lead even though he's primarily known for his lead guitar. Most of all, I love that I can easily find video of him playing awesome and then making the same mistakes that I do, like jumping into a chorus when the verse isn't finished. I've even seen him blotch the intro lick to sweet child o mine worse than I do. As great a musician he is, those mistakes make his level of playing more attainable to me.
