Graham Coxon- God of Indie rock/the most under-rated guitarist ever, i consider him the best of our time. you kinda need to explore his stuff to fully appriciate it but here are three examples

I want to fly, Can you take me far away, Give me a star to reach for, Tell me what it takes, And I’ll go so high, I’ll go so high, My feet won’t touch the ground, its my wings, That pull the strings, I bought these dreams, That all fall down

Re: Your Top Guitarist(s)
if we're talking skillwise, it's obviously buckethead or some death metal guy, but who gives a shit how skilled someone is (unless they're absolutely terrible of course). what matters imo is the oomph and badassery that a guitarist brings to the table. this solo by the white stripes, for example, is one of my favs:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKTG05rw2iw (start at 1:28).
and of course, brad nowell of my favorite band of all time, sublime, wrote imo the most beautiful solo ever w/ santeria:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEA_txBAWvA (start at 1:30).
alot of his unheard of/live shit was amazing too:

I actually agree, no one can play power chords better than him.Bobbyjames wrote:TOM DELONGE.
Also Buckethead is pretty cool just for being weird. Paul Gilbert is the best techncially skilled guitarist I have ever seen, he's just crazy, although I don't like that music too much I can respect him so much.

Mark: Sometimes when I talk in 3rd person i end up calling tom mark
Tom:Yea than he starts touching me and i think thats masturbation
Some people think were idiots or perverts dont argue were both.
