    List yours. Mine is still a work in progress. I know Hendrix and Mayer belong. Yes, Mayer, that guy know matter how gay you think he is, is a genius with a guitar.

    Yeah, there is a lot of great guitarists that we've never heard of, I was thinking the same thing. Okay, to make it easier we'll do mainstream music.

    Slash
    Kevin Shields [My Bloody Valentine]

    I included the bands (that they're most famous for being a member of) for the guitarists who may be less well-known.

    The sad thing is, I was trying to actually post guitarists people may have heard of...:sigh:

    I probably shouldn't participate in this thread.

    If you're going Jangle-Pop, the best guitarist of that genre is Roddy Frame of Aztec Camera. He's a brilliant guitarist.

    Not explicitly Britpop. I don't really consider MBV or the Smiths to be "Britpop" (though, it's a pretty vague genre as it is). I think Shields was a genius for the layered, walls of guitars he created and Marr had the chiming guitars down perfectly. But Aztec Camera was great, no question.

    Obviously this is a very different style of guitar, but man John Williams is talented
