Re: your top 10 guitarists
Today, and in no particular order:
RB
Jimi Hendrix
Jeff Beck
Paul Kossoff
David Russell
John Williams
Mark Knopfler
Rory Gallagher
Jimmy Page
SRV
actually, they're not the top ten, because such a thing doesn't exist, just my favourites whose music I love, or I was/am inspired by, if you like.
Oh, and if I had to pick a favourite right now, it would be Jeff Beck.
