Hi Guys

Fintan here from dbTwang, just thought you might like to know that Brian is listed in a World’s Greatest Living Guitarist poll we are running on our blog, where you can vote for your top three guitarists. At the moment Joe Bonamassa is in the lead.

My first two were the same as yours, but I chose Jeff Beck as my third.

Jack White? Really? Wink

Abso-frickin-lutely. His voice cracks when he's howlin' and growlin' and he does the nastiest, screamingest things I've ever heard to guitar tone, but that's all intentional. As White says about playing guitar in the movie, "It Might Get Loud," "Pick a fight with it, and win the fight." Raw passion is evident in every note Jack White plays, and that is more important to him than showcasing the talent he obviously has as a guitarist. That's what makes him a fascinating player, that's what makes me constantly listen.

Please. Watch.

I did. Of course I've heard the White Stripes before, and they just don't do anything for me, sorry... (why doesn't he find a decent drummer - and a bass player? Laughing

I like the Raconteurs better!) I'm not saying he can't play, it's just that he's not on my top 10 - or 20 - or 50 - but it all boils down to personal taste, doesn't it? I like his voice and his guitar sound, though... Wink

I hate contests like that. So many great guitarists not on the list, some over rated ones there for sure. Art is a subjective thing no doubt. Setzer certainly is my favorite rockabilly guitarist. Wink

Man I gotta say that Tommy Emmanuel is numero uno with no doubt. Still dont know who Im a bigger fan of or whos music is more fun to play. Brians music gets the ladies and then once theyre home I finish 'em off with some Tommy. haha

Mine would probably be in no particular order...

Mike Campbell
Pete Townshend
Brian Setzer
Chris Cheney
Reverend Horton Heat
The Edge
John Davis (Superdrag)
Noel Gallagher
Johnny Marr
Paul Weller
Bernard Butler
Bob Mould
Ryan Adams
M. Ward
Dick Dale
Jeff Tweedy
Neil Young
Jack White
Doug Aurbach (The Black Keys)
Jimmy Page
Slash...

I probably said too many, but if it weren't for those guys I would have had less interest in playing the guitar, therefore I would have never picked one up, and if I did, I would have probably quit not too long after.
