Too many amazing guys to list but I'm liking this new kid JerryC quite a bit. Very talented and creating quite a buzz.

Used to love that show "Night Music" hosted by Sanborn.

Fave fusion sax guys are Larry Klimas and Brandon Fields.

ZONA · 05-03-2010, 02:23 AM

This is what you do when you live with a roomate and you both love to play guitar but you only have 1 guitar. Pretty funny.

Yeah Fields is a great one. He did some stuff with Tower of Power that blows my mind.

Night Music was my all time favorite show. Hiram Bullock, one of your favorites, and mine also, was always the guitar player for Sanborn.

The episode with Phil Woods is so sick I may have to go youtube it.

I won't shove it down all your throats but if you are interested in the show NIGHT MUSIC and want to see what it was.....Just type david sanborn night music in youtube search and watch any episode.

Sanborn Jams with every guest and they do a song together. I mean nowdays the hosts are just same lame ass with no musical talent.

I just don't understand the universal love for Clapton. I've been playing for 25 years, so I can identify a really great player when I hear them. My favorites tend not to be the most technically proficient, but more in line with the persuit of a certain tone. You'll find Eric Clapton at the top of almost any list of "guitar gods." Heck, the majority of my top 5 current favorites rotate in and out of Clapton's touring band... and they probably list him as a huge influence (and I'd be hugely influenced by that kind of money).

There's just something about Clapton that irritates the shiat out of me. I can't put my finger on it. Oh well... rant over.

I like the lists so far, but if you have Stevie Ray on there, then you have to have Kenny Wayne Sheppard too.

bronclvr · 05-03-2010, 07:07 AM

Most of the good ones have already been named, but don't forget:

Gary Rossington
Richie Blackmore
Jeff Beck
Dickey Betts
Billy Gibbons
Robin Trower
David Lindley
Eddie Van Halen
Carlos Santana
Alvin Lee

Not all of these guys are my favorites, but it's hard to criticize their talent-

Broncojef · 05-03-2010, 07:07 AM

Gotta give props to my boyhood guitar hero Edward VanHalen.

Great list. Great to see you like Eric Johnson too. Cliffs of Dover, a classic piece. I'm pretty decent on Guitar Hero and Cliffs of Dover kicked my arse till I finally learned it!

Jesterhole · 05-03-2010, 07:34 AM

Any list without Jimmy Paige is incomplete.

Got to see the Experience Hendrix tour at the Paramount Theater back in March and Kenny Wayne Shepherd absolutely blew the roof off the place. And that was with both Eric Johnson and Joe Satriani performing as well (which both were awesome too).

Smiling Assassin27 · 05-03-2010, 08:00 AM

1. Stevie Ray Vaughan-Tone is unparalleled. Add the technique and flash, and songs, and he's #1.
2. Eddie VH-Phrasing is sick, tone is unique, and signature licks (tapping, etc.) stellar.
3. Brian May-Tone is one of a kind, classical element in his playing makes him unique.
4. Randy Rhoads-Genius. Melodic structure maybe the best I've ever heard. Precision.
5. The Edge-Picking technique and tone are incredible. Not hard to play, but nobody can do a U2 tune the same way.

*honorable mention: Diamond Darrell Abbott-He's been around since the 80's but his style didn't become top shelf til the 90's. One word: Thick. Dude sounds like a guitar army and that power groove style is one of the few that catches my ear amongst all the copies.

Editor's Note: Innovation and pioneering does not equal best, necessarily.
