My favorite guitarists (not necessarily the best, just the ones I enjoy the
most are:

Jimi Hendrix

Robert Fripp

Peter Townshend


Also, I'd like to recommend some guitarists you might have not heard of
but might like

Larry Coryell   (Early stuff like 'Coryell' or 'Live at the Village Gate')

Terje Rypdal     (ECM stuff)

John Abercrombie  (ECM stuff also. 'Gateway' is recommended.)

Mike Stern         (Member of Miles Davis' band. Listen to 'We Want Miles'.)



Now I'd like to recommend some albums you might have not heard of, yet
they feature people you probably have heard of.

Miles Davis - Jack Johnson  (with John McLaughlin)

Soft Machine - (Stuff of a few years ago with Alan Holdsworth)

Mike Oldfield - QE2


I'd be happy to answer any questions on anything mentioned here.
I have over 3000 albums and could probably recommend other albums
of people you might like or people you have not heard of.
