Who Are Your Favorite Electric Guitarists?

[TapperMike]

Every time I come back to this thread with more names...Some one else has beat me to it. And then I look at the other listing and say to myself.... Me too.

It's funny as much as I love jazz guitar. When ever I think of jazz greats I jump to contemporaries rather then luminaries from the past.

Like this guy...

Tim Lerch

 

 

Seriously the greatest jazz solo guitarist of our times.  He studied under Ted Greene and can play "In the style of" Legend after legend after legend and often times much better then they did.

 I'm in shock. One name missing in this topic:

When Jimi Hendrix was asked whats it feel like to be the best guitarist in the world he said "You better ask Rory Gallagher"

• Walk on hot coals from Irish Tour. Just sit back and listen, nobody else could play it like that
