Slash
Zakk Wylde
Gary Moore
EVH
Clapton
Generally if I can’t think of anything to put on the stereo it will be something from them, however with Spotify streaming there’s no shortage of other options.

True, I started with 5 but grew to eight and my list would grow again seeing some of the selections here. You can add Rory to my list for example.Bg wrote:I think these things are always a snapshot in time. Or thats how I treat them.
Peter Green
Michael Schenker
Rory Gallagher
Mark Knopfler
Matt Bellamy
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Re: Your Top 5 guitarists/influences
And I'll play.
Jimi Hendrix
Rory Gallagher
Billy Gibbons
Lightning Hopkins
Muddy Waters
Muddy worked his way into things I do somehow by osmosis most probably from the upper 3 listed.
Every dog has it's day and there's been times I've heard some of you play and that has inspired me too.
Sometimes a riff or a sound will pop from the radio just for a moment from someone I've never known and sometimes one I've forgotten.
Most of all I want to be me.
