Tough call @Skinnyman. My favourite players list changes depending on so many different things that I could easily give a different set every day for a month or more. However, since you're being such a git meanie tightwad hard taskmaster about it, I'll go with the three who most heavily influenced my early playing style, who would be... pause for effect... Ahem: Him: Him: and Him: (Plus honourable 'if only I could play as well as them' mentions for Guthrie Govan, Joe Pass and Adrian Legg. Tomorrow these three would be replaced by a different three, but the main three won't change.)

3) Angus young not the most technical but you can just see and feel the love of what he does every time he plays and man that energy! 2) David gilmour for his economic playing style. Says more in 3 notes than all the flashy over technical guitar Prodigy's can in an hour. And his solos have been known to bring a tear to my eye! 1) slash. I don't even know why! But I could probably listen to him play nursery rhymes for an hour and still be amazed. Probably helps that he was exactly my era. And his records were what I listened to in my late teens. As everyone seems to be doing it I'll make a few honourable mentions John squire(amazing and vastly underated) Brian may Gary Moore

Any excuse for dirty writhing for money!
