Personally, I would go Hendrix, all the way!
What about you guys?

How about James Dean Bradfield of the Manic Street Preachers.

Granted, some of the later songs have been simple, but if you look at a song like Motorcycle Emptiness, it show's his skill.

Hank Marvin aussi.

Slash is great. Grohl ain't half bad but I don't have any particular faves.

Me neither, was straight back to the Regular Slinkys. I do have a fairly high action though, because I play slide a bit.

Mind you, did you see the size of his hands?
