I'm regretting not having put Tom Morello in my top ten!

I'm surprised to see quite a few fellow Frusciante followers (whats that called when a group of words in a row with the same first letter like the last four words of my previous sentence)
A few fellow Frusciante followers is called alliteration, just like a group of Green, Guy and Gilmour geeks :D
Ten. Hmmm. Top four or five in order, but no preference amongst the others
Andres Segovia
Good call, Alan! Talk about an innovator, my goodness.

That's the word I was looking for, alliteration, 11th grade english, it's all coming back to me now!

I must say Billie Joe Armstrong.
Some people may find his guitar amazingly simple , yet it pumps me up like no one else. (and not to forget Mike Dirnt's bass and Tre Cool's drums :D )
In no particular order of course:
1. Peter Green
2. Albert King
3. Eric Clapton
4. Freddie King
5. Ritchie Blackmore
6. Jimmy Page
7. Jimi Hendrix
8. B.B. King
9. Jeff Beck
10. Bob Dylan
Honorable Mention: Rory Gallagher - just getting into him and I got the Irish Tour '74 Dvd and its amazing how good he was.
Man, too many regrets:
Sorry, Lou Reed, I should've put you in my top 10, but I'm Beginning to See the Light, haha. :lol: (Hope you guys get that) :wink:

It would be easier for me to list those that I DON'T like. :?
I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
Did you know that the word "gullible" is not in any dictionary?

Oh dear... what about Brian Thiessen? Or Mike Bloomfield? Or John Martyn, come to that? Or Mark Nelson?
This is far too difficult :?
Top 100 anyone???
To make this easier, no restrictions.
We'll make this a thread where you can come if you think you're going to explode if you don't say which guitarist(s) you're digging.
LOU REED!
Phew! That was a close one! :lol:

I didn't see anyone mention Eric Johnson; got to have him, even if just for his perfect tone.
And, I second Alex Lifeson. What a catalog of great music, and largely ignored when people talk of guitar gods.
1. David Gilmour
2. Mark Knopfler
3. Stevie Ray Vaughn
4. Stone Gossard
5. Mike McCready
6. Eric Clapton
7. Adam Jones
8. Billy Howerdel
9. Nick Drake
10. Dallas Green
