Location: Fayetteville, NC | Gosh That a tuff one, Because I couldn't make up my mind between Glen or Chet.
I love Glen Campbell and he's and he's So I'm astounding player, but my guess is if you can play like Chet atkins, you can pretty much play anything.I'll have to say Chet. |

Location: Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey | I'd like to play like Dave Matthews and sing like Cliff. I've started taking guitar lessons again so maybe I can move a little closer to one of those goals. |

Location: Orlando, FL | I love Tony Rice. I love how he plays nice intricate bluegrass runs and then spices it up with some jazzy chords. Tasty!
Of course, for electric I love the way Jeff Beck wrings those wild sounds out of his guitar. Its amazing to me how he manages to constantly reinvent himself as a guitarist. His recent version of rollin and tumblin breathed new life into a great old blues standard.
And Sonny Landreth for slide.
And... and... and I could go on all day! |

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | Tony Rice would be in my top 10. Since I can sound and play like only one..RT, handsdown.
...but, if you ask, the guys I play with how they would like me to sound, likey TR. (followed by urgent pleads...) |

Location: Northern Virginia | Hey, I'm with Cliff. Martin Lancelot Barre. Good choice. Check out acoustic intro to "Life's a Long Song." (That is Martin, isn't it Cliff?) And who else can you name who's had so many chords named after him?
Second choice: Maartin Alcock (Tull, Fairport Convention)

Location: Indiana | The most amazing guitar player I have ever seen is still Andre Segovia. However I have been watching (a lot) a 7 minute DVD of a 24-25 year old girl that is a very close second. I have let some really good guitar playing friends of mine watch her,and they agree.

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Although the intent was to pick one, I see lots of us can't. I picked one, but didn't really give reason for it... so here goes... without much thought...
The lead style of Buck Dharma with the creativity of Frank Zappa
... the tasteful when'n where of Randy Rhodes and Adrian Vandenburg (not too many notes, just the right ones)
... the transitions of Steve Vai and Richie Blackmore
... the precision of Roy Clark and Tom Scholz
... the tonal personalities Les Paul and Eddie Van Halen
... the tonal capabilities of SRV and Hendrix
... and the playing passion of Glan Campbell, Lindsy Buckingham, Carlos Santana, Mark Knopfler and Jeff Beck. |
