A lot of guitarists on Soft are into rock and shred. Hence it's the usual suspects who appear on threads like these. Only a minority are into jazz and blues and blues-rock and the like. I like Eric Clapton's acoustic guitar playing.

Come to think of it, I also like George Thorogood's playing, but sometimes a bit overboard haha.

I don't really play guitar a lot or neither very good at it, but here's my favourite guitarist(s) in no particular order (sorry, there are too many awesome ones out there to only have 1)

Slash - Like his guitar tone
Steve Vai - Versatile player imo
John Petrucci - He can play really fast and still sound good
Jimmy Page - I'm a Zeppelin fan. So many good riffs and solos from this guy, a true legend.
Ritchie Blackmore - Just listen to his music, it's so soulful.
Chris Poland - Ex-Megadeth guitarist. Extremely good guitar phrasing and tone. He came out with a solo album after he left Deth and now plays in a jazz band.
Paul Gilbert - I haven't listened to a lot of his work yet, but so far the ones I have I really like em.
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Just started listening to his music, and I'm loving it!
