Favorite guitarists

Who are your favorite guitarists? Why I ask? Because I'm in need of knowing some more. I just have an urge to learn about some new ones. These are ones I enjoy.

Ryan Key (Yellow Card)
Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin)
Beillie Joe Armstrong (Greenday)
Deryck & Dave Baksh (Sum 41)
Hillel Slovak (Red Hot Chilli Peppers)
Kurt Cobain (Nirvana)
Johnny Greenwood & Ed O'Brien (Radiohead)
Thom Yorke (Radiohead) (I seperated him because I like his music. Though I like Johnny's playing btter, Thom deserves to be seperated. I mean you never know if it's Ed or Johnny playing since sometimes it's one, not the other.)
Tom DeLonge (Blink 182)
Daron Malakian (System Of A Down)
And that dude from Rage Against The Machine

These are just guitarists I enjoy. Not all are my favorite band though. My top 3 favorite out of those are Kurt, Jimmy, & Daron. So please. Tell me yours. I need to see others materials. Hey, I can learn a thing or two about being a guitarist myself. Getting better every day and all. And I would add Jimmy Hendrix but I only heard 2 songs from him.

Possibly the best guitarist ever, Chet Atkins
James Burton
Gordon Lightfoot
Kris Kristofferson

Jimmy Page
Jimi Hendrix
Dave Gilmour
Syd Barrett
Eric Clapton
George Harrison
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Eddie Van Halen
Randy Rhoads
Pete Townshend

Um...I know I'm forgetting a couple.

I like your choices. I have to agree those are all great guitarists.

After hearing some of the guitar from the Velvet Revolver's album, I have to add Slash to the list. Also, I've always enjoyed Joe Perry as well.

Wow! Kudos to Malevolence, Brian The Pink Shark, and Suikojowy, for the great, no Amazing taste in music and guitarists, Their lists are basically the exact same as what mine would have been. But I do have one other guitarist that does amazing funk, Prince! When I heard him play guitar, I was surprised at his skills.

RIP Jimmy Hendrix

John Frusciante is my hero and my hero is John Frusciante.

All he does is abuse power chords. He's a good guitarist but not my favorite. He just uses them in different strings from G,D,A to D,A,E.

Adrian Smith - Iron Maiden

Too lazy to name every guitarist I know of.

Deron Miller - CKY
Herman Li - Dragonforce
Claudio and Travis - Coheed and Cambria
Tom Morello - Audioslave/RATM

That guy from the Smiths had some nice licks too.
