Then Slash
Now ...errrrr Paul Davids , JamesJames or Josh Turner from Youtube I guess as I don't really listen to much "guitar music" these days .
Now Nile Rogers, Gilmour, Kevin Shields, Joey Landreth, Blake Mills to name a few.
Now:
Now Tino Troy
For me,
Then: EVH
Now: Mike landau (subject to changing my mind)
Then: Dave Murray and Adrian Smith -> Steve Vai (specifically DLR era Vai)
Now: various - Mark Lettieri, Julian Lage, Marc Ribot, Kenny Burrell, Derek Trucks, Anabel Montesinos, and many others.
I must be well outside the loop. Based on photos I don't have a clue who any of these people are.
Now if I pick up a guitar it’s usually in an attempt to sound like Roddy Byers although if I want to listen to guitar playing it’ll probably be Jim Campilongo. Despite my fetishising of pedals I seem to most like players where you can hear the wire and the wood.
I much prefer Robben Ford, Mike Landau and Matt Schofield these days.
That said if we're talking bands as opposed to guitarists I still listen a lo to the likes of Pearl Jam and Soundgarden.......especially when the neighbours are pissing me off.
Now: Andy Timmons
Now: Buddy Guy
I'm normally into heavy rock/ metal but these guys are up on my list. SRV inspired me to pick up a sunburst strat and start learning the blues. I can listen to Buddy Guy for hours. Man that guy can play
Went through a middle phase in my 20's digging tele players: Jim Campilongo, Marc Ribot, Manuel Galban, Jonny Greenwood and forgot about shredders totally.
At present: still love Gilmour & the classic guys (although I'd only put Dire Straits on) plus still influenced by Johnson after all that time practicing his stuff.
I've however discovered Alan Holdworth and while I don't listen to him too much, after you've heard the pinnacle of intelligent shred you can't listen to these 80's or current melodic instrumental shredders seriously anymore.
One person I do listen to alot nowadays is Julian Lage and to a lesser degree other jazz guys like Kurt Rosenwinkel/Grant Green although I dont play jazz.
THEN: Jeff Beck
NOW: Jeff Beck
Now: I don't have a single favourite guitarist. The list would be too long to mention them all, but Guthrie Govan, Robben Ford and Nuno Bettencourt immediately spring to mind.
As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb
Middle period..... Gary Moore, SRV, Angus Young, Clapton
Now....John Mayer, Angus Young & some youtubers like Kentcarllevi, Jamesjames, Pilky27, Jamie Harrison..
