Too difficult to call frankly, but would happily go along with this and go for Jimmy

So I'll throw in the mix:-

Steve Rothery
Little Steven
Nils Lofgren
Tony Iommi
John Martyn
Roy Harper
Alex Lifeson

Who is it ? I will offer Brian Robertson. Great in Thin Lizzy and then Motorhead

APD is a great album and Robertsons playing is superb. However, I rate Fast Eddie Clarke way over Robbo.

And the inspiration for the band “Stillwater”in the wonderful “almost famous”.

Yup, Green for me all day long.

Varies according to my mood, technically it’s probably Eric Clapton for lead guitarist as he can play so many different genres. Bass would be John Enthwistle. Although love Mani from Stone Roses/Primal Scream.

Oh dear - a 'rock guitarist'? Do you mean the million notes an hour noodlers that try to out **** one another?

My personal choice of guitarists are two Irish Blokes, very different styles but both hugely talented.

Both of whom I have been privileged to see play.

One sadly no longer with us and the other literally stricken and may not be with us too much longer:

I give you Rory Gallagher and Vini Reilly.

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Yup, Green for me all day long.

To quote Noel Gallagher...

“ He went from “albatross”which they put on in the ****ing dentists chair..to the Green Manalishi in two years...that’s ****ing dark man”

But we can forget what he thinks as he is a very average guitarist himself
