Dave Longstreth from Dirty Projectors, Tim Collins from TTNG and Annie Clark/St Vincent are all lovely to watch.

After listening to Lovers it’s probably Nels Cline, manages to be restrained, playful, inventive and spontaneous and through a wonderful rich clean tone :heart:

I’m afraid when HGWTR: Steely Dan comes along I’m going in hard against.

Biggest influences are Annie Clark, Jeff Buckley, Steph Carpenter, Jonny Greenwood. Mike Einziger is a really interesting guitarist too, admittedly Incubus aren’t a “great” band, but there are a lot of really playful parts that feel great under the fingers.

Love Rafael Cortes too, such clarity and feeling!

Great choice. Only recently got into Funkadelic in the last couple of years. Those early albums in partuclar are great.

Among current people I really like Annie Clark and David Tattersall (from the Wave Pictures).

This is probably my favourite bit of guitar heroism. Prince had just been left off a list of ‘Best Guitarists’ in some magazine and gatecrashed a boring George Harrison benefit concert to make a point.

Mark McGuire up to about 2011, before he went all synthy and started making the kind of music they sell at garden centres.
