No particular order;


David Gilmour
Prince
SRV
Billy Gibbons
Jimi Hendrix
BB King
Albert King
Muddy Waters
John Frusciante
Trent Reznor
Adam Jones

You can probably guess from them that im more into complex rythm parts rather than virtuoso leads...........although most of them are more than adequate at both

[Whomad]

Shawn Lane (RIP)
Eric Johnson
Robin Trower
Mark Knopfler
Satch/Vai
Jeff Beck
Sonny Landreth/Derek Trucks (go amazing slide players)
David Gilmour
Andy Summers
Pat Metheny

there are others, but these guys go down in my book as influences and just fantastic players

I may never be able to get my fingers as fast as some, but i sure as hell will try!

It occurs to me that I only occasionally go through phases of outright "guitar music" these days. A good few still inspire me every time, though... Django, Greg Howe, Guthrie, Derek Trucks, Ron Thal, Charlie Christian.
