@NativePortlander1970 Great choice.
Most of the responses on this post have Eric Clapton and George Harrison. A few have David Gilmour and Brian May. .

@Synyster Thank you, I prefer guitarists that can actually play without it sounding like gibberish.

@NativePortlander1970
Me too. For me, it's about the way they play.

@Synyster A lot of the guitarists mentioned only sound like loud noise when they riff their solos, I think Iron Butterfly and Frank Zappa were the pioneers of gibberish.

@NativePortlander1970 I think we all like different styles of guitarists.

For instance, Dave Murray lead guitarist for Iron Maiden is not only a great guitarist but the amount of 7 to 10-minute songs he plays during a concert is unheard of.
