Who is your favorite guitarist? And why ?
Mine is Alvin Lee ('Ten Years After').
Here's a sample.

bradley nowell from sublime

people dont think about him as a guitarist much but i love his diversity. he can get technical, but he also plays a lot of ska and punk styles as well. he is who i have looked up to as a guitarist.

Got a few:

Ben Prestage: One of the best swamp,country,punk bluesmen in the world right now. Legit one man band, plays guitar, drums, and sings all at the same time. Kills it every year at the International Blues Comp every year in Memphis and for that matter any where else he plays. Also happens to be one of my best friends ever.
Listen to "The Giver" and "Weedhead"

Matt Pike: Of High on Fire and the legendary doom gods Sleep. Full on shredder

J. Mascis: Dinosaur Jr., J.Mascis and the Fog, and Witch(plays drums for them though). Indie rock god, master of being completely chaotic and totally rythmic at the same time.

JACK WHITE.... alot of his stuff is simple because thats what the white stripes are all about. he is a true modern bluesmen. More original than everyone else in my opinion,
