Hi everyone,
I was just wondering, which guitarists you'd love to meet in person if you had the chance?, here's my list of the ones I'd love to meet:
1, Angus Young, from AC/DC.
2, Malcom Young, also from AC/DC.
3, Eric Johnson.
4, Dave Mustaine, from Megadeth.
5, Joe Satriani, from Chickenfoot.
6, Tony Iommi, from Black Sabbath.
I have personally met Nita Strauss when Motley Crue came here recently, back in 2013 I also met Muse when they played here too! Wicked awesome when you can meet your idol/s! My list of axe players to meet is too long to post here!!!
I'm with Pest the list of guitarists I'd love to meet is too long to list. I would love to meet all the players in your list DrNomis.
A few of the guitarists I'd love to meet aren't around anymore (Hendrix, SRV, BB King, Randy Rhoads)
I saw on TV lastnight Angus Young was in the crowd at the French Open Federer match.
Just realized that I should have added ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons to my list, he's cool.
Roine Stolt
Alan Morse
John Mitchell
Steven Wilson
Guthrie Govan
Mike Oldfield
Dave Grohl, Ed O'Brien, Brent Hinds, Troy Sanders, Les Claypool, David Gilmore. All these seem to be genuinely friendly, funny guys that I seriously respect and could see myself getting along with.
I've met Guthrie before after a gig but I'd love to have a proper chat with him.
Would love to also meet Paul Gilbert, Eric Johnson, Nick Johnston, Misha Mansoor, Tosin Abasi, Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery, Josh Homme, Tim from Protest the Hero, Josh Smith...
I think this list is getting too long already!
Redd Volkaert
Albert Lee ( share a birthdate but sadly not the talent )
James Wilsey
Bill Kirchen
Vince Gill
James Burton
Guess there's a bit of a country influence there and no humbuckers ( Vince does play an LP occasionally and a jazz box with the Time Jumpers )
Edited to add:-
Guthrie Trapp
Rory Gallagher ( hopefully a real long wait for this one )
Stuie French ( who I have met and jammed with, fabulous player and great bloke )
Now I'm imagining having a discussion with Joe Pass and Tosin Abasi and Josh Homme at the same time, just need to throw in Paco Pena or Segovia in there to really mess with everyone's heads....Quote:

Tommy Emmanuel
Have seen Paco Pena in concert, very cool
Actually yeah Emmanuel (both brothers) would be great to have a chat with. Saw them once in QLD during their blues festival. So cool
I've seen Tommy live in concert, way better than I expected, awesome player
Actually Phil is very good as well
Something of an understatement, my band played along side his on many occasions in the 1970s he's up there amongst the best and a really decent human being who does a lot to support young guys.Quote:

I think Paul Kelly and Darren Hanlon for me... As for bass players...not sure - while it would be cool to meet the standard Jaco, Wooten, Bootsy, Flea, Sting, etc - I'd be keen to find someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously and has fun with their music.
Good call on bass players Brendon.
I can think of three straight up who would be really cool to have a beer or three with and learn a bit.
Greg Lake ( would be good to understand the dynamics of playing with Robert Fripp )
Dee Murray ( loved his tone with Elton John )
Tal Wilkenfield ( good perve material as well as being a hell of a player )
Tal is such a great player. I'd also love to meet Steve Harris too.
Yeah, I saw him in the Sydney Opera House with Leo Kottke and Slava Grigoryan.Quote:

I want to add Sel Balamir and Steve Durose from Amplifier to my list as well.
