Which guitarist do you currently admire most
I try to avoid who is best etc because it seems a futile question to ask. So I think the question I want to ask is: Which guitarist do you currently admire most?
The person who irons my soul out is Kelly Joe Phelps. He is self-effacing and humble, but he has a talent that is rooted in genius.
Check him out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7iCM_nECEg

I really haven't heard enough different modern day guitarists to give an opinion yet, but I sure enjoyed listening to Kelly Joe Phelps, I took a liking to him before he even started playing.
Thanks,
Skip

I admire anyone who picks up the guitar and spends the time to learn and play what is in their heart.
Now, if it's who influences me the most it would be a short list.

I've been a fan of eddie van halen since i first heard him play back in the 70's, but there have been many others that I enjoyed listening to. Now that i'm learning how to play I admire anyone who can no matter what style it is.

I admire anyone who dedicates thier time to perfect an art. There are just so many great guitar players and so many more comming up. I really couldnt pick just one.  But I love to listen to talented people play.
Music is emotion..sad,angry,love,laughter...

I admire the folks here along with their abilities to play and assemble songs, or try so hard to do so. For the one's that paid their dues by their dedication to this thing called guitar playing. Some better than others, but all trying.

Admire most? I really like John Mayer. I don't know some people might be cringing but I think he's a wicked guitarist- forget the celebrity status. He's not that well known in the UK.
He's the main reason I picked up the guitar just fascinated that someone was making this incerdaible music from a simple instrument.
Another guy that just blows my mind is Trace Bundy.....I think I had my mouth open for a week when I saw what he could do.

Bruce Cockburn has always influenced me - I think he's an exceptional musician.

thanks for the thoughts on this one. I agree with the sentiment that suggests admiration for anyone who puts the time in and plays from the heart. I wish you all good fortune in your musical endeavours and thanks for the advice over the period.

Skip. You have me intrigued. What did you mean you took a liking to him before he started playing?
