    Tall Farlow my favourite but Les Paul leaves everyone else standing. Farlow died a few years ago but I think Les is still playing.
    In the image of God? You must be joking!

    It's all down to personal preference at the end of the day.

    I really think Stevie Ray Vaughan is great, I like John Petrucci, Brian May, Jimmy Page, James Hetfield/Kirk Hammet. I don't think I could choose one of them though. I like them all!

    John Hausrath - the Springpark Satriani. You'd sandpaper your own eyeballs to be as fine as Hoose. Legend.

    Tommy Boiln for me, just have to stick on some live stuff from his Energy band to remember he was the ultimate (and only 20-21 at the time). His heroin riddled Purple days were a shadow of his former glory.
