    Glen Tipton of Judas Priest is one of my favorite guitar players and his former bandmate KK Downing wasn't shabby, either. I can't think of many bands that had two great guitarists in their lineups. Sadly, Tipton got diagnosed with Parkinson's earlier this year but he had a great run...:beer:

    Joe's the best guitar player I've ever seen (and I've seen some great ones)...

    There are a lot of really great guitarists out there, but the one that stands out in my mind, and the one who impresses me above all others, with both his technique and his unique music, is Estas Tonne. He has his own website, & there are lots of videos of him playing available on Youtube. :)

    I don't know if he's been mentioned on here but Estas Tonne. I recommend him to anyone who wants to just sit back and get lost into the music.

    I stumbled across this Frenchman about a year ago and have grown fond of his music. Great album...

    Any peeps play the guitar? I played in bands for years but took a long break and now back at it. Struggling to find a bass player.

    Can't pick just one, but my favorite four are Carlos Santana, The Edge from U2, Peter Buck from REM, and Coy Bowles of the Zac Brown band.

    To my ears this comes across as technical brilliance of the first order but with little musical soul, if that makes sense.

    They're just strummers! Segovia could make a guitar talk.
