| Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth. They are a progressive metal band, which I understand many people definitely do not like that genre, but he plays 'musically' compared to most metal guitarists. He does not strictly rely on palm muting or lowered tuning, and he plays some nice fingerstyle as well. He also sings and writes every song. Opeth is the only metal band I listen to, I love how the songs transition from heavy to soft to heavy etc. Great light and shade.
You have to listen to a whole song to get it all since it is not a verse/chorus format. After the 5:30 mark is why I love this band, and his guitar playing.

| mr. beaumont; I didn't see you as a Sonic Youth fan. For me, my favourite non-jazz guitarist and indeed favourite guitarist full stop is Kevin Shields from My Bloody Valentine. He basically created an entirely new approach to using the guitar to make sounds. And it was awesome. |

| Hard for me to say- just got that vibe. It's cool that you are- I love looking at some of the weird stuff you can get with prepared guitars and odd tunings. Very cool. |

| While I don't like Rage Against The Machine, I've got a lot of respect for Tom Morello simply because of the massive amount of sounds he can pull out of his guitar. |

| I always loved the sound Adam Jones (from Tool) got from his guitar. Always makes me want to get into a good fight. |

| Tough to make such a list, but I will give you the guys who I listen to the most that aren't jazzers. Michael Hedges Bruce Cockburn Jimmy Herring Andy Summers (definitely gets into jazz territory with his solo stuff) Julian Bream Brad Paisley Eric Johnson Johnny A Phil Keaggy Larry Carlton Thought it was odd to see Chet on several lists. I would call him a part time jazzer. Same with Robben Ford. |

| I can not believe no one mentioned Monte Montgomery yet. He is got to be one of the top 10 guitar players to ever walk the planet. I know that's a bold statement but you'd have to see him. It's a completely different level of playing that only gets more impressive everytime I see him play live. YouTube - Monte Montgomery - "Could've Loved You Forever" Another one of my favorite "players" is Johnny Greenwood. He does a lot more that playing the guitar in traditional fashion and has become almost a "noise player". Anyways if you haven't heard Monte you really need to check him out.

| Bill Nelson - Be Bop Deluxe. Very fluid. Never received credit. Steve Rothary - Marillion. Very tasty. The Outlaws - Hughie Thomason was excellent. Ronnie Montrose Neil Schon Adrian Legg Jeff Baxter Ollie Halsall Bill Frisell John Abercrombie Clint Strong Vince Gill Gary Green - Gentle Giant. Roy Albrighton - Nektar. Frank Marino Robin Trower |

| Too many to name as influences, and even more that I'm a fan of, but here's a start: Steve Howe Steve Lukather Santana Mike Campbell David Gilmour Joe Perry and Brad Whitford (Aerosmith) Keith Richards The Edge Tim Reynolds Some of these guys aren't the most technical, but they have the "it" for me in their feel and style. ...and really guys, how many of us would never have picked up a guitar if not for George Harrison? |
