I've been balls deep in Boris lately. Holy fuck is Wata a nasty guitarist.

Jeff Lang is my #1 guy.

John Frusciante is my number 2. Mick Turner from the Dirty Three is my other number 2. Tommy Foster from Slaughterhousewives/Ainriail/my thing is my other, other number two.

Aside from them, I have much love for:

Rory Gallagher, Boubacar Traoré, Salif Keita, Erik Mongrain,Pepper Keenan, Dylan Carlson, Dave Navarro (circa "Jane's Addiction" through to "Ritual De Lo Habitual"), Adrian Belew, Robert Fripp, Steve Von Till, Scott Kelly. Jimi. Page.

Man, everyone plays guitar.

This dude rules. He's freakin' awesome. I've been playing a bit like him lately. So freakin' good.

Show me your music. he kills me. hard.

Probably Knudson atm. For obvious reasons.

I love the noise out of Knudson. His work with Botch was nothing short of astounding.

Unfortunately, I've got a lack of a recording set up right now. I'll try to get something going ASAP.

I love John Lee Hooker and I think the two of their styles have a lot in common. I'm a fan of idiosyncratic fingerpickers in general. So, I guess it's really no surprise that eventually I start sounding like 'em. It's kind of funny that you mentioned him because I actually haven't listened to his music in a long while, but while I was playing recently I was reminded of it. It's so very distinct.

Blackmore
Bolin
Breau
Hazel
Hendrix
Quine
John Perry (Only Ones)
Rhoads
Ronson
Sharrock (...obviously from the avatar)
Sudden
Thunders
Verlaine

...and probably a hundred more I'm about to think of after I hit Submit.

Forgot about John Perry, that guy is awesome. Saw The Only Ones twice on the reunion tour, they were still great.

I think my two favourite players are probably Jeff Buckley and Terry Kath.

Johnny Marr, J Mascis, George Harrison, Chet Atkins, Jimmy Page, Johnny Greenwood, Lee Ranaldo, Joey Santiago, and a fuck ton of other people.

Guthrie Govan is a great guitarist. I forgot to mention him before.
