We know who your guys' favorite guitar player is but what about artists/bands,

Mine would have to Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Guns n' Roses and any ambiant jazz beat.

Bands = Zeppelin, Steppenwolf, CCR and others

I forgot man, SKYNARD!!!!!!!!!!!

Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppeling, Jack Johnson, Jimi Hendrix.

I'm trying to learn the song puprle haze, but I don't actually have the song so I'm doing it from memory, but the intro is hard to remember.

Are there any Nirvana fans out there......................................Anybody........................................

Alright kids, how about some REAL music? Wes, Joe Pass, Grant Green, Carol Kaye.

Who.............

Heh, they are some of the best Jazz guitarists. All great, you should check them out.
That said, jazz is not the only kind of "real music".

I will for sure I really like jazz, I just don't know much about it.  Just a few chords on the guitar

You see, the kids today, they listen to the rap music, which gives them the brain damage....
See man, it ain't like the jazz, man. Jazz will be around for ever, man; like new Coke.
lol

Oh I agree, the music of today is horrible. Just sayin' Classical and older Rock music are great too. They fall under the "real music" title also.

You guys say the 'music of today', and 'you kids',  you guys been around a while eh

Nah, I'm still pretty young. I just don't like all the newer music that comes out these days. Its awful, cliche'd(sp?) crap. No originality, no talent no MUSIC.

Totally man. I am glad that younger people have that veiw.

Yeah I dig Jazz, but I always get new and fresh ideas from the young musicians of today.

Though I have favorite guitar players and guitar-associated artists(guitartists?)my favorite musicians have not been guitarists per se. Adding the placard "music historian" to your desk and going back to earlier music(and some world music- the Indian ragas and tabla regiments are thousands of years old...)yields some nuggets that are truly astounding. For example, before Bach there was linear modal melody exclusively(call it "chant") and use of adjacent tritones(a flatted fifth interval: from the E, A or D strings, play an additional note one string, one fret up- essentially a power chord minus one fret on the top)might just get you burned at the stake as a heretic. They called it "Diabola Musica." So we have Bach to thank for a great many things. Start there. Move through Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin(my favorite), Tchaikovsky, Debussy, Ravel, and at Stravinsky realize it's getting a little weird in here so we'd better respond in kind hence the aleatoric anti-music that followed ol' Igor. The jazz musicians made academia in music cool again, the blues borne from the Mississippi Delta brought African rhythms to the States, and social upheaval and war affected all.
There are so many great artists in all kinds of music on all instruments; I wonder if a great number of guitarists sell themselves short by passing by non-guitar music. After all, someone influenced the first guitarist, no? It's not a very old instrument.

Oh I see.
