When I said I was listing favorites, I really did mean all time favorites. Those guys you listed are good Opti, no doubt, but they just don't make it into my top slots. I am a big fan of everyone from Gary Moore down, though, for sure, and I've got a massive Joe Satriani collection thanks to a friend who got rid of his.

I knew what you were saying those are some of my top guitarists but I would not knock any on your list. Joe Satriani is great live. I saw him at the Filmore West last year. I also have a big collection including the original Surfing with the Alien ablem.

Sweet, Opti. I actually found out about him when I was in high school. I signed up for a contest to win free tickets so some guitar player I had never heard of at The Rock Club in Pittsburgh. Wound up winning two tickets and saw a concert that changed my outlook on instrumental music entirely. Ran out and bought "Is There Love in Space?" and "Surfing with the Alien" the next day. Started transcribing his solos for bass and Matt Bissonnette's bass line to Satch Boogie...and the rest is history. Haha.
Awesome.

Yea Shackman it is funny how we get our eyes opened. I got introduced to Gnarls Barkley in a similar way. Only it was my daughter who won tickets and I went with her thinking it was going to be lame. He put on a great show. I have been to Pittsburgh only once on my way to Boston. It is a great city.

I have an old beater classical guitar, but my electrics are a Fender 1973 Telecaster Deluxe and a new Squire Strat. I love them both. I tend to use the Tele for recording leads and the Strat more for rhythms.
I like classic rock and my favorite players would be Domenic Troiano, Eric Clapton and Joe Walsh, among others.

Nice choices Micromoog, Squier has been doing some good things these days, especially with their Vintage Modified line, in my opninion.
And I've always wanted to jam out some Funk #49. I've never gotten to play it live. I had a band that was going to, but we disbanded before it happened. (aka Everyone left for college.)

I have a '06 BSX Allegro Electric Upright. I play easy rock and pop, along with some contemporary country music. I also have a Yamaha classical guitar.

Sasha, did you have Dino build for you himself? I haven't seen that guy in ages. He lives just a bit from my house in Pennsylvania. Absolutely wonderful person. And a fine bass player to boot. Last time I was there I got to play Brian Bromberg's BSX. That thing was dreamy to fret.

Having taught for several years now, I prefer to teach people on classical guitar as well as steel string acoustic first, if for nothing else to get their finger strength up. Still, it's totally cool with me if students are dead set on learning electric guitar straight away. If it makes them want to practice more, that's entirely fine by me. You practice to your own goals, right? I don't play bass trombone if I want to learn tuba later.
As for styles and guitars, here's my rundown:
'06 Gibson Les Paul Standard Guitar
'04 Fender MIM Jazz Bass
'80's Peavey T-40 Bass
'06 Acoustic Guitar (not sure what the brand is...my grandparents bought it for me when they took a cruise and were on the island of Sebu*)
'80's Yamaha Acoustic
'05 Godin BG-5 5-string Bass
'06 BSX Allegro Electric Upright
'07 Upton Bass Hybrid Upright
And coming soon: Squier Vintage Modified Fretless Jazz (once I've got enough cash laying around)
wow youre a pro..you accept tutorials?

What do you think of Danelectro guitars?
A friend of mine has one that he'll probably be selling. The pickups remind me of Tele standard pickups - By looking at them anyway.
