cathdiap Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 For me the best guitarist/composer that ever lived was Allan Holdsworth. May he rest in peace. Allan Holdsworth (1946-2017) Born and living life as a free spirit he upholded his God given talents and refused to be corrupted by the satanic music business of our modern age. As a result his music was like from outer space. Being fully autodidact his technique was completely different and uncomparable with most other guitar players. A fine example of his unique music and his playing skills: 1 Link to comment
BabyJune Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Jimmi Hendrix is the greatest left-handed guitarist of all time, but Chet Atkins is my favorite. 2 Link to comment

Chet's my favorite, too. I've been working very hard on his style of playing, doubling down on it since the pandemic started. I even bought a Gretsch guitar eleven years ago. If you like Chet, you'll like other players in that style like Tommy Emmanuel, Doyle Dykes, and Richard Smith. Link to comment
Stone Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Since you have two, I’ll do the same. David Gilmour and Mark Knopfler. They both have so much feel and the best clean tone I’ve come across. Knopfler’s finger playing is like ASMR. 2 Link to comment
tommyneedsdiapers90 Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Zappa, knopfler, pat metheny, m ward, John Williams, garcia 2 Link to comment
square_duck Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 It depends on my mood. I'm not into 'shredding' so many of 'those' guys / girls are out. Mark Knopfler is simply awesome..check his "Golden Heart" album. ...really nice stuff. Mike Oldfield is another, very under rated....andI am sure there are people her who go... "Who?" . But check him out. He's basically retired, but completly self taught, started with just an acoustic guitar, moved to electric then bass, and learned a bunch of instruments....most of his albums are only him playing!!!! He does his own compositions, and mixing as well!!. Paul Simon, great guitarist as well as composer and writer.....his lyrics are some of the most poinent and haunting, yet memorable. I am sure there are others....Joe Satriani comes to mind, but I am also picky, I might like a particular song that is played, but not the artists over all playing.....meh. Link to comment
Little Cub Pants Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I'm not one for guitar usually. But some of my favorite guitar players are Tom Morello from rage against the machine, Jimi Hendrix, Ace freely from kiss, and James Hetfield from Metallica.??????????????????????? Link to comment
Babygeebee Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Ah there are so many. If I was to pick one I would have to say Stevie Ray Vaughan. Link to comment
carsfan Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Too many to name. Elliot Easton comes to mind for being so underrated. Link to comment
