I pull from all of them, and I know I'm leaving many others out!

Edit: I mis-spoke. I can't really say I pull from all of them, directly. Sometimes I just sit the guitar back down and try to get my frustrations under control.

My favorite is Steve Howe.

His work just seemed so much his own.

Jimmy Page...
Eric Clapton...
Glen Campbell....

I was never impressed with Glen Campbell when he was in his prime. Too showman, flashy and I thought just a show off. Then when Band Perry covered his song "Gentle on My Mind" I found this version in a search and he just blew my freakin mind.

He and Alice Cooper were good friends and went to the same church... they played golf together and their families were very close...

The best of them all, a few have been mentioned here, are mostly nameless unknowns.

Guys like Steve Cropper and Matt Murphy are session musicians, who can be brought into recording studios and can competently play damned near anything at any time.

You can generally tell Satriani from May from Clapton in a few bars, whereas the really excellent session musician can mimic those individual styles and blur the lines.

You know, that's just like, uh, my opinion, man.

all the above, I like malmsteen, bought most of his CD's going way back

sadly he went through singers like underwear and now he sings himself and......eh, he's kinda not that good

nod to angus young, might be simple cords but try doing it not looking, banging your head, running around and even laying on the ground

huge shout to Randy Rhoads, a legend in only a few years and brad gillis is a damn good guitarist too
