I wish I had an American Strat. I have a squire  But I am saving up to get a MIM strat and put the Texas Special Pickups in it. Now Just slap some .13 gauge strings and a tube amp and I can pull off some SRV.  | ||

Now Just slap some .13 gauge strings and a tube amp and I can pull off some SRV. There's very little difference. I bought a MIA last year and the only differences as far as I can tell are SLIGHTLY better neck quality, and a little better sounding (but still not so sexy) pickups. | ||

If it was a question about the best guitar solo ever, then I would certainly go with the last, since the solo in Sultans of Swing transcends any other rock solo that comes to mind..(if we want to consider Dire Straits strictly rock, which we may not). But all of them have such powerful strengths that make their brilliance to some degree incommensurable. These are merely my favorite, however, and although my list of favorite guitarists maps closely onto those I consider the best, in the latter category I would definitely beef up this list with several other names. But on any given day were I to think to myself "I want to listen to some great guitar work" these are the names that would come to mind. | ||

He and myself are both leftys while playing guitar. His style, unique musical sound, and the fact that he self taught himself inspired me to play. Also, Purple Haze was the very first full song I ever learned. | ||
