Hello Everyone.
To me, every guitarist has their own unique ways of approaching the instrument in crafting their art. And, it is this uniqueness which really distinguish a guitarist from another, even within the same genre. So, again if to pick just one from the never ending list of awesome guitarists in Planet Earth, is hard
.
After some thoughts, I still could not point out to just one, so I decided to name 5 as each is an awesome guitarist and artist that have contributed great importance in terms of guitar playing (not by order of importance):
1) Jimi Hendrix - probably the player who has made guitar playing into some kind of 'divine' art form.
2) Eddie Van Halen - where will all the awesome modern shredders be without him.
3) Pat Martino - oh my GOD, he really makes me feel like quitting the guitar and get another hobby, yes he is that brilliant.
4) Greg Howe - put him anywhere in any genre with a guitar, he will amaze you every time.
5) Yngwie J. Malmsteen - yes, yes I understand some will disagree but nevertheless, he probably is responsible in having other guitarists started incorporating classical elements (neo-classical) in their chops or, relearning the harmonic minor scale
.
Cheers!!!
