Guitarists you rate that no-one else does?

[sty]

Stanly Jordan anyone? well.. I know he's rated pretty highly in a nuber of circles..

I like him. I remember when he first came out and was on a UK TV show called The Tube doing Eleanor Rigby, stunning stuff, caught everyone on the hop and it went very quiet in teh studio.

I have quite a few of his CDs these days.

Another guitarist that I absolutely love in the Jazz circles rather than the Rock circles (, although whenever I saw him at Ronnie Scotts it was more how I imagined Hendix would have been received than your usual sit down, be quiet Jazz) is a guy called Jose Neto.

love his stuff

and some electric stuff

he plays electric, acoustic and a nylon strung solid body guitar. He lists Hendix as an influence at a young age so even though he is a Jazz person his heart is in the right place.

is it wrong to mention Jack White

Only in the sense that it would be going off topic. Think hes pretty well regarded round here.

Elliot Easton of the Cars. Especially on 'My Best Friend's Girl' and 'Just What I Needed.'

Not to mention on the enticingly titled 'tonight she comes'...

He had/has a fresh sound. Always wondered why Steely Dan never used him, he would have fitted in perfect.

[Rog]

+1 Cars!

Actually, speaking of Steely Dan, whoever used to play for them was real nice too.

Mick Taylor is an incredible player, but there's very little talk of him.

Bunch of dudes: Larry Carlton, Denny Dias, Jeff Skunk Baxter, Elliot Randall and others.

Im gonna say Dave Suzuki from Vital Remains. Crazyily awesome guitarist, but the band and him are a bit unrecognised...

[DaNextSlash]

There's seems to be no mention of Marco Sfogil anywhere apart from a few selected places.

He's the man.

[DSilence]

Pete Loeffler from Chevelle & Wes Bordland, mostly riff driven...

[Miza]

Lyndsay Buckingham from Fleetwood Mac, and whoever played the guitar for Supertramp. Both those guys really knew how to add to a song.

A-ha! I was gonna say him!
