    Wow. I'll go with the names that just jumped immediately into mind, with no particular thought as to who I should include. They are also not necessarily direct influences, I just love listening to them. Oddly enough, not even ten!

    Ed Bickert
    Jim Hall
    Peter Bernstein
    Jonathan Kreisberg
    Gene Bertoncini
    Johnny Smith

He's basically unlistenable to me now that there is absolutely no attack in his sound. It's like he's completely removed any natural percussiveness that the guitar possesses. I do think there have been some really incredible highlights since 2005, like "Star of Jupiter" and "Mr. Hope" from the Star of Jupiter recording, "Chords" from The Remedy live recording, and "Zhivago" and "Turns" from the Our Secret World album.

    My top 10:

    Scofield
    Jim Hall
    Metheny
    Wes
    Rosenwinkel '93-'05 :-)
    John Abercrombie
    Bill Frisell
    Jimmy Raney
    Lage Lund
    Wolfgang Muthspiel

    I love Scott Henderson, Mike Miller and Allan Holdsworth too as much as some of these other players but I would probably put them in their own category.

    Have you heard Kurt's latest, "Angels Around"? I don't like a lot of his stuff including the early records but this is just an inventive jazz guitar trio record with a pleasant tone on the guitar.

    If I had to try to make a list myself,

    Jim Hall
    Peter Bernstein
    Julian Lage
    Ed Bickert
    Baden Powell
    Luiz Bonfa
    Bireli Lagrene
    Joao Gilberto
    Jonathan Kreisberg

    Yes. I got it the day it came out. His tone on this album is exactly what I was talking about in my post. Super processed with no attack. The lines that he plays are brilliant but his tone is a complete turn-off for me.

    Ah, different tastes. I'm much more put off by his early Next Step, Deep Song etc tones.

    I am in! Not in any order:

    Joe Pass
    Pat Martino
    Jimmy Bruno
    Julian Lage
    Wes Montgomery
    John Scofield
    Les Paul
    Kenny Burrell
    Grant Green
    Allan Holdsworth (I think, he was so far beyond my compehension that he ought to be on the list)

    Just my opinion, FWIW.

    Bill Jennings (and Billy Butler... because of that one solo that we all gotta learn to play the blooz right)

    Grant Green
    Wes Montgomery
    Jim Hall
    Billy Bean
    Jimmy Raney

    Joe Cohn
    Andy Brown
    Bobby Broom
    Peter Bernstein
    (One day I will get a lesson from each of those modern masters... One day... )

    Special Mention: Barry Galbraith... some people lament not being able to study with Ted Greene (I would have loved to).

    I would have loved to study with Barry Galbraith in person... I have studied with people who studied with Galbraith, but experiencing his stuff first hand... At least we have his books

    10 is 10 too few...

    Maybe not 10, but

    The jazz guitar Mt Rushmore:

    Wes
    Joe
    Pat
    John McLaughlan (the Teddy Roosevelt choice)

    And then:

    Lee Ritenour’s Stolen Moments is one of my favourite jazz guitar recordings but I wouldn’t put Lee on a list of jazz guitarists.

    I liked what I heard of Mark Whitfield and Peter Leitch. Ulf Wakenius.

    I tried hard to like Jim Hall but I failed. Similarly Kenny Burrell and Grant Green.

    I’m a little all over the place with this, with a little modern and a little old school, but what the heck. In alphabetical order, my personal ten favorites:

    Kenny Burrell
    Larry Carlton
    Grant Geissman
    Grant Green
    John McLaughlin
    Pat Metheny
    Wes Montgomery
    Joe Pass
    Django Reinhardt
    John Scofield

    Painfully, in order to keep it to ten, I had to leave off some of my other favorites including Charlie Christian, Herb Ellis, Alan Holdsworth, Barney Kessel, Bucky Pizzarelli, John Pizzarelli, and Lee Rintenour.

    Now I need to add to my original list:
    - John Abercrombie
    - Wolfgang Muthspiel
    - John Moulder
    - Mike Moreno

    and still probably more as I keep thinking about them!
    John Moulder was one of the priests at the Catholic Church I attended growing up. I had absolutely no clue he was a monster guitar player until years later.

    How does one have Emily Remler on a list without Wes. She attempted to be a Wes clone for how many years?

    Add me to the list of individuals who detest lists.

    Interesting. His tone on The Next Step where he was playing through his old Polytone was just about perfect to me.

    I’m sure we’ve all seen this happen, but, one morning, at a big band rehearsal, the conductor was trying to explain something to the guitarist. I should add that the conductor knew next to nothing about playing guitar.

    In frustration, the conductor tried a different approach.

    “Who is your favourite guitarist?”he asked the guitarist.

    ”Jeremy Brown,” the guitarist answered.

    The conductor was confused. He’d never heard of Jeremy Brown. “Who is Jeremy Brown?” he asked.

    ”I am,” came the reply.

    Ok, I'd like to see your list in 10 years. It has no soul like the old lists used to have.
