Who would be your teacher for a year?

[LiveeviL2000]

 

[Robb]

6 SRV.

 

[iblive]

From this list I’d probably go Brian May.

My own list I’d go Canadian. Mr. Young/Mr. Lifeson.

 

[Boubou]

David Gilmour

On the list
Mark Knopfler and Stevie

 

[fitz]

The Dark Lord

 

[GrooVey]

From the list..? Knopfler

Rather have it be Tommy Emmanuel

 

[Don O]

For R&R, #10, Jimmy Page.
For blues, #6, SRV.

Before I played guitar it was Fleetwood Mac the Doors and Donovan.
My father was friends with Clapton and gave me the best of cream LP then it was Hendrix Band of Gypsys
My best guitar teacher had me study the Kings Albert BB Freddie and Earl.
Jimmy Page of course

 

[SG John]

From the list, Hendrix of course. Especially to learn his rhythm style he learned playing the chittlin' circuit. Dolly Dagger is a great example.

 

[Seamus OReally]

From that list? Nobody.

I’d sit at the feet of Robben Ford.

 

[Ozzie]

#7 - and I would never skip school!

 

[Headache]

Alexi Laiho?
Randy Rhoads?

 

[gball]

For me, it would be Alex Lifeson.

 

[Mouse]

From the list? Honestly none of them. All are or were brilliant but most of them are largely feel players with unique styles that couldnt really be taught.

I’ve been in a Kiko Loureiro (ex-Megadeth) rabbit hole for months. He’s obviously got metal chops but he’s well versed in Brazilian music, jazz, and many other styles. He explains theory in a way even a dumb-ass like me can understand. This interview is a good example of his range.

 

[Mitch Pearrow SJMP]

Randy Rhoads

 

[Headache]

Chris Broderick?
Paul Gilbert?
Steve Vai?

 

[BFT Gibson]

Larry Carlton
Jimmy Page

Carol Kaye
James Jamerson
on the instrument that makes the guitar get to shine

Kiko is very cool ...

Kiko + Plini is even cooler!

One teacher i'd love to spend a year with is my tutor from uni because
i'm a lot more capable of playing and processing now, and he was a real specialist
in the chord-melody thing. Unfortunately he's no longer with us ...
This fellow is, though:

I'd definitely learn a lot!

If I had to choose one, I think #9 Knopfler…I could learn a lot from any of them, but he would probably have the most impact on where I stand right now.
