omg, Baden Powell is amazing, yo, check his ass out! link

Favs for me in no order: John Squire, Bernard Butler, Slash, Jimmy Page, Eddie VH, the guy from Blur, the guy from Verve, Tommy Iomi

I like to keep my fav left-field guitarist separate from the all time favs, because to me it's like comparing best guitarist with best accordionists... but they are: Neil Halstead (Slowdive years), Mr. Shields, Mark Clifford, Sonic Youth, Robin Guthrie

Recent blogs: Ni Ten Ichi Ryu, a badly written essay by Sweet Trip, Sweet Trip's Paprika Potatoes, Music you didn't at first, but eventually grew up on you...

word to Shields, Clifford and Guthrie.
hmm. wow. I barely know any of the other guitarists.
I always liked Kim Thayil....amusingly I can't remember any of his riffs now.

Tech specs: 1979 es-175 through a '65 twin reverb, modified korean squire, handmade classical guitar from the studio of "lucida artista"

Extra tools/effects/toys depend heavily on what genre I'm playing, who I'm playing with, and how lazy I'm feeling.

My allstar players list:
-joe pass
-AGATA!!!
-kaki king
-ben monder
-the assad brothers
-billy corgan (yeah, that's right)
-julian bream
-gary smith
-pat martino's early stuff
-Pete McAnn
-rhys chatham

I respect a lot of guitar/laptop guys as musicians, but not necessarily as guitarists. When Fennesz, tsukimono, kfw, fourcolor, rafael toral etc release non-processed tracks, they'll be candidates for my list ;)
