Favorite and/or most influential guitarists (for you as a player or in general)

[BURROWorBUST]

Lots of great guitar music posted on this thread. I've gone through all of them and learned loads of new stuff. Bravo, gentlemen.

I'm not nearly as sophisticated in my tastes, I suppose.

I like (not in any order)

Brian Setzer
Chuck Berry
Muddy Waters
Keith Richards (more with Ronnie than with Mick Taylor, though Mick is very technically proficient in his own way, he just lacks Ronnie's playfulness) Keith's got a new album coming out, and if you've never heard the Xpensive Winos, you haven't lived. Sorry.
Bruce Springsteen is very underrated, but he got Morello to join the E-Street Band to blow the top off some of those songs. Bruce is NOT stupid.
And I also love to listen to Willie Nelson do his thing on a guitar.
Glad to see Buddy Guy's name on here. And Clapton, of course.

Thanks for the treat. Took me about 2 hours to listen to everything on here. It was worth it. I'm gonna go grab my Telecoustic. (Gotta get its action fixed.)
