Knopfler's finger picking style sounds great. Watched a documentary with him chatting to Phil Cunningham. I didn't realise he was Glaswegian – his picking intervals are influenced by west coast Scottish music. It all makes sense when you re-listen so some of his output with that thought in mind.

Adrian.

>Probably Michael Schenker

And I'll be seeing him tonight 🙂

(Also one of my favourite guitarists, together with Lifeson…a pity Push has gone a bit solo-lite nowadays…always liked Nugent too, but he really is a king-size plonker…)

Richard Thompson, Martin simpson, Davy Graham, michael schenker …….

Has anyone said Kevin Shields?

Also J Mascis (listening to You're Living All Over Me atm, & saw them two weeks ago in Leeds), Matt Sweeney (from Chavez) & Bert Jansch.

Andy

Rory Gallagher, David Gilmour, Ritchie Blackmore, Brian May, Angus Young!

Oh yes and Kurt Cobain, technically pants but what a sound.

Matt Bellamy from Muse is sooo good, hes good at piano as well.

Billy Duffy – The Cult. Genius!
