I missed SRV out

[FireandRain]

Well, I'm not a guitar player, so I don't know too much of the technical playing & all that. I just know who I like to listen to. And the realization that we are on a JAKE E. LEE message board, on the web-site JakeELee.com - I feel it really is not needed to put Jake on my list. He is now, has been & will continue to be one of my faves As far as I'm concerned, he could put out a CD of him playing scales & I would still buy it & listen 'til the cows came home!

That said, here is my list:

David Gilmour
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Jimmy Page
Melissa Etheridge (I know she is more of a singer/songwriter, but I love to listen to her play when she gets going!)
BB King
Mick Mars
Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson (they had that country-rock vibe. Still sounds good after all these years!)
Neal Schon (Journey)
Steve Harris - Iron Maiden. Yes, I know he is a "bassist", but the way he plays bass sounds like a guitar to me & I could listen to him for hours!

[PoetsandMadmen]

Veterans
