I like David Gilmour. He is the greatest ever. So is Jimmy Page and Alex Lifeson. Brian May is pretty cool too.

Hmmm, Frusicante, Hendrix, Steve Vai, countless others. Yeah, I found that list a while back, it's complete sh*t. I found one a good deal better at www.digitaldreamdoor.com/pages/music0.html It has a load of lists about all kinds of genres. Frusciante is only 87 out of 200 or 300, but with the kind of players in front of him, its a lot more accurate.

Yeah I came across that page a few years ago. The guitarist's page is fine, but when you look at the 100 greatest rock artists of the 2000s, and see that 4 of the top 6 are actually hip hop/RnB artists... And it doesn't stop there - Jay Z is 12th, Usher is 14th, Missy Elliot is 19th, Beyonce is 21st, and Destiny's Child is 30th! And the 90s aren't much better!

Anyone draw influences from other forms of art? literature, visual art? I also am not seeing a whole lot of classical composers mentioned in here.

Ahhh... I like to play to cartoons sometimes. Well... most of the time I don't actually watch the cartoon.. just play cartoony music.

That just sounds silly actually...

That doesn't sound silly, lately I have been playing mostly to Super Mario World and Donkey Kong. Fun stuff.

The guitarist from Gang of Four is a big influence. His messy style is amazing.

Yeah, there are a lot of great guitarists people could be unfluenced by. That's how I see it - rather than producing a specific list.

+you can edit your last post instead of posting again.
