I'm a Billy Bragg fan, but I don't class him as a guitarist, Nils Lofgren is American, and as I said, I haven't finished yet, so just because people aren't on the list yet doesn't mean I'm going to be ignoring them.

Forgot - Dave Evans and Davy Graham

I should have included Mick Ronson. He was more than a guitarist.

Canadian I think - does that make it worse

Born born in Chicago a.f.a.i.k., mate. Closest he comes to being Canadian is playing with Neil Young.

Big thumbs up for Larry Carlton, Paul kossoff and the great man himself, Rory Gallager. Saw Taste once live at some club in London, cant remember the name . Amazed springs to mind.

Chuck Berry, a true pioneer covered by so many of my favourites.

Steve Cropper – Resident guitarist at Stax and key to the Stax sound. Created original and famous licks. Knew when to let go and when to keep it tight. Co-wrote some big soul numbers too.

Carlos Alomar - Bowie’s rhythm man and band leader. Funk & soul guitar across some of the most progressive new sounds of the 70’s.

Lindsay Buckingham - Note perfect to my ears, very original style of finger work (when seen live) A style associated more to fast banjo note picking, rather than guitar but it worked well in helping create the ‘New Fleetwood Mac ‘’ sound (of the day)

Billy Bragg - not a guitarist! Well I suppose not everyone’s book of tricks and licks. Whenever I have seen him live (with one exception) he is 50% voice, 50% guitar = 100% Billy Bragg. Every bit a guitarist for me, in the entertaining sense of the word.

Mr George Benson, Django Reinnhrdt, and of course Lowell George
