    Seek,
    Find be yourself.
    Don't follow the herd.
    Don't repeat in spite of the encores.
    Be yourself.
    Otherwise you'll bore us.

    trey anastasio and angus young

    its interesting how many guitarists really have their own unique sound... alot of blues guitarist kindof get lost in the same vein, but rock has been churning out unique sounds for decades

    theres no bigger honor IMO than coining a "sound"... especially when so much of it has already been done

    Neil Young & Jerry Garcia

    Both have instantly recognizable tones and phrasing.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    No, but thanks for asking. :mrgreen:

    I could be wrong but I just don't think I would instantly know something was the JP style like I would with Santana, Knopfler, etc. This isn't about the best guitar players, it's about the unique ones with a sound of their own.

    check out The Yardbirds "Little Games" album where Page plays guitar...or any live Yardbirds stuff with Page on guitar. You'll notice that he really does have a style all of his own when you compare his playing to Beck or Clapton.

    From Fripp to Page to The Edge to Durutti Column and beyond, everyone owes John for that sound.
