I would describe my favourite guitar player according to genre. This is mainly because each guitar player has his own style of playing and as versatile a guitar player can be, no one is extremely good at every single style and genre out there.

If I wanted to listen to something weird and out of this world then Steve Vai would be my pick.If I were to listen to something exotic with a touch of Asian sound then it would be Marty Friedman.

When I'm in the mood for fast neo-classical soloing then Vinnie Moore would be the one.Whenever I need some straight up rockin' pentatonic solos then I would listen to Paul Gilbert.But my all rounder current favourite would be John Petrucci. His solos can be as fast as a bullet train and can also wail and make you cry.

I couldn't agree more. Different guitar players play different styles, and so only appeal to people who like those styles.

However, I like Pat Metheny because he is a fantastic all rounder.

My #1 guitar hero would have to be Chris Whitley. There are precious few men who could stand alone with an acoustic guitar and project such power and emotion - most others need a whole band and a stack of amplifiers to achieve what he could alone. I am always stunned to silence when I hear his open tunings, strange chords, convoluted lyrics and frantic picking.

#2 would be Warren Haynes. Totally dedicated to music and jamming with the greats, and an all-round great guy. Great blues-rock and slide guitar.

#3 onwards would be a mess of axemen Confused I like Howe Gelb's anarchy on the guitar. Robert Johnson, Jimi (of course)... okay i'll wipe my chin now...

For me it's Eric Clapton and John Mayer.
I'm crazy about their guitar style
