    hendrix 4 sure he was simply the greatest!! theres an australian artist called john butler who is an absolute freak on his 12 string acoustic if he ever tours somewhere near u go and see he is brilliant.

    Jerry Cantrell. Listen to Unplugged and tell me you don't agree.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    ahem.... McCready.

    cough... Hendrix.

    Hmmm... SRV

    NO DISRESPECT!!!

    I just really like Cantrell. I also would rather be able to play like Stone than McCready.

    I love great lead players, I just prefer to be more rhythmic. Cantrell pulls that off the balance of lead-to-rhythm really well. Page was also damn good at pulling both together.

    What can I say? I love riffs.

    jerry cantrell is a bad ass. A great musician too, check out the writing credits for almost every single AIC song.

    Hi
    I went to see the jazz-guitarist Pat Metheny yesterday and it was incidiary!!
    He plays often superfast but on two songs he played slow and he really got the tone feeling like, that guitar players must(after my opinion)

    I would like to play the style of Pat Metheny, beacause then I could learn how to play like Duane Allman, SVR, Mike McCready, Hendrix, Steve Morse and Ritchie Blackmore!!!

    Only one guy! Keef Richards. The FEEL this guy gets is second to none. As a second place? Mick Taylor. What a guy. Totally different style but he is still amazing 30 years after leaving the Stones (http://www.micktaylor.net) and played some of the greatest RNR lead stuff ever recorded. Page, Hendrix, Clapton, Beck, Satriani, EVH, Neil Young, Allman, Robben Ford, SRV etc are all great but I'm speaking personally so don't whip me, please.

    close battle, but has to be Hendrix. It's the only stuff i really struggle to play.

    George Harrison just played so beautifully and effortlessly, itd be hard to not want to be him. Billy Corgan is just the ultimate guitar rockstar, hes got moves that are just crazy. He knows he can make the guitar do anything he wants it too. Mike's like that too, but hes a little more low-key about it

    I think jimi hendrix could play like any of those other artist so I would have to go for him, that and he is left handed just like me. Hendrix is just the best no question.
