All-Time Favorite Guitar Players – Part 1
- He was the lead guitar player and singer of Dire Straits. However, I never listened to them. This is based pretty much off of one song, Sailing To Philadelphia, that he recorded with James Taylor. His electric guitar parts throughout the song are spectacular. You may not like the overall song as well as I do, but I guarantee, you will love what he plays on the electric. On another note, he was #27 on Rolling Stones “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.” Spend a $1 and download Sailing To Philadelphia
- Andy Gullahorn is basically a rip off of David Wilcox. Wilcox had been copied many times, but nobody plays as smooth and creative as he does. He uses even crazier tunings, but makes everything sound beautiful. He also plays a guitar that just about every acoustic player dreams of owning, Olsen. Here is one of my favorite Wilcox songs. It’s old. This YouTube video must be from like 1938, but the sound quality is suprisingly good. You can hear how he straight masters using all 10 fingers on each hand.

Obviously I don’t have any exact science to this. Of course, your list would probably look much different. So here it is. My favorite guitar players.

15. Mark Knopfler

14. Christian Tyler
- Christian is one of my best friends who can straight lay down some parts on the electric guitar. He rarely rips a solo, but he knows 100 different inversions of every chord and can put everything together in a masterful way. He practices harder than anyone I know and knows his stuff. On top of his playing skills, he knows how to work a complex system of pedals better than anyone else.

13.Andy Gullahorn
-Andy Gullahorn is an acoustic genius. He plays a lot of strange tunings with the guitar tuned in variations of open C and D. Most acoustics weren’t made to be tuned down to a low C on the E string, but he makes it sound heavenly. His wife is Christian recording artist Jill Phillips and Andy Gullahorn has some CD’s of his own that are out. Pick it up and try to learn some of his licks. Tough stuff.

11.Ryan Adams
-Unfortunately, Ryan Adams is rarely recognized the great guitarist that he is. He never shreds, but go check out the electric work on the end of the song “Shadowlands.” It’s truly mind blowing. It’s so simple, but he always knows how to make every note count. There are rarely wasted notes. His tone is always perfect and extremely hard to recreate. He deserves a lot more respect on the guitar that he currently gets.
