Well, I have unusualy taste, I guess. And I don't think I can think of ten guitarist that actualy turn me on, but, here's my list.
1. Alex Lifeson - Love this guy, he's such a creative guitarist, so amazing, and so funny.
2. Eddie Van Halen - I'm a HUGE fan of rhythm, what this guy lacks in lead he has in rhythm.
3. Slash - Dark, long hair, leather pants, huge hat, awesome, raw guitar god.
4. Eric Clapton - He made me want to buy a guitar, I was at a friends and his father has some cool guitar stuff and guitars, and my friend was playing with his, and showing my other friend how to play an Eric Clapton song, forget the one... Probably Cocain, anyways, then he asked if I wanted to learn anythnig, I said "Sure" and he tought me layla, it was awesome.
5. Tonni Iomi (sp) I know everyone's said RR, but the only RR song that I felt for was Crazy Train, when I sit in my car and listen to "We Sold Our Soul For Rock and Roll" I just feel so great listening to it, all of it.
Well, I knew i wouldn't be able to come up with 10, oh well, here's my list, enjoy.
