I actually don’t know a lot of guitarists. In fact, the only one I recognize on your list is Jimi Hendrix

Yeah, well here is the bands a few of them (the Guitarists on my list) have been in (or are in), Jimmy Page is from Led Zeppelin, Pete Townshend is from The Who, Mike McCready is from Pearl Jam, Kim Thayil is from Soundgarden, George Harrison is from The Beatles and Jerry Cantrell is from Alice In Chains.

Do you like Grunge music, pixarmilan? It sure looks that way. :smiley:

I agree with everyone on your list.

Yes, but I like classic rock a bit more.

i’ll always like Grunge better I think. Kurt is my favorite

Okay, Nirvana are pretty good.

Cool thread, dude! :sunglasses:

Brian May
Jimmy Page
David Gilmour
George Harrison
Mick Ronson
Mick Ralphs
Eric Clapton
Pete Townshend
Keith Richards
Matt Bellamy

Thanks. Great list, those are some great guitarists.

I actually would have to add Brian May to my list.

I forgot to put John Norum on my list.

I will add John Lennon and Stone Gossard to my list.

John Lennon played the guitar? Why did I not realize this?

He played Rhythm Guitar on most Beatles songs and occasionally Lead Guitar.

Oh, pff, come to think of it you’re right. I’ve been reading The Beatles Anthology (which is entirely their own words, plus Brian Epstein and other related personnel) and he’s mentioned it several times. AMAZING book, enormous and I’d recommend it for the die-hard Beatle nut.

I’m doing my list again (with some changes).
My favorite Guitarists are:
Jimmy Page
Brian May
Jimi Hendrix
Keith Richards
Mick Taylor
Brian Jones
Syd Barrett
David Gilmour
John Norum
Stevie Ray Vaughan
George Harrison
John Lennon
Pete Townshend
Neal Schon
Eric Clapton
Tom Morello
Kim Thayil
Jerry Cantrell
Mike McCready
Stone Gossard.

So there’s my list.

Your taste is fantastic as usual! I’ve gotten into The Who recently and promptly added Pete Townshend to my list. I really need to listen to more Hendrix, too.
