New generation of guitar gods?
96161
That really makes past guitarists look bad, huh? Personally I'm a 17 year old who loves Keith, Slash, Angus, Zakk Wylde, Joe Perry, Brian May, Jimmy Paige, and those other great guiarists. So you can't say I'm biast for liking something that goes with my age. I prefer the older guys. Unfortunely the new guitarists don't catch my attention. I don't see anyone worty of the title 'guitar god' that hasn't already been deemed it.

Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, for sure.  Have you ever really listened to Layla?  The guitar strings almost speak.  Of course, I'm 62, sooo

Preston Reed.\n\nHe's an awesome fingerstyle guitar player.  I recently saw him in concert and was blown away by his technique and style.  I bought two of his cd's on the spot and will absolutely see him in concert again the next time he's touring the States.\n\nhttp://www.prestonreed.com\n\nHere's some sample videos that you have to watch:\n(You may need to right-click and 'save target as', download it, then play it)\nhttp://homespun.powerusermedia.com/Homespun_Tapes/VD-PRE-PF01_Concert2.wmv\nhttp://homespun.powerusermedia.com/Homespun_Tapes/VD-PRE-GT01_Guitar2.wmv\n\nOther stuff:\nhttp://www.homespunvideo.com/prodpg/prodpg.asp?prodID=191&prodType=\nhttp://www.homespunvideo.com/prodpg/prodpg.asp?prodID=531&prodType=\n\nPart of some reviews:\n"Within 10 seconds of listening to him, you'll realize just how little innovation is on display by the McBands receiving heavy rotation on MTV or Your Local Alternative Radio Station. ... Reed is a treasure, an absolute must-listen for those even tangentially interested in acoustic guitar music, and a one-of-a-kind innovator who will change the way you approach the guitar in both your listening and your performing.

They're awesome, Billy Martin is an awesome guitarist. Although it's a bit sad that Joel and Benji get most of the attention. I liked their old songs better, 'Chronicles of Life and Death' sound emo.

Some decent new ones are the Fender DG22S, the Epiphone Hummingbird (a Sheryl Crow look-alike), Takamine G320, or the Washburn D10S. These range in price from $150 or so for the Fender to $300 or so for the Epiphone. Keep in mind that you get what you pay for. I am still playing the first guitar I ever bought (in 1980, its a used 1968 Martin D35 I paid $250 for). Don't be afraid to buy used for a first guitar. Older guitars tend to have more character if they've been taken care of...

Any guitar with the right electronics and pickups. For the best out-of-the-box sound I love my SRV-edition Fender Stratocaster. My well-worn 73 Telecaster with Texas Special pickups is a close second.

I could not agree with you more.  It seems as though there is this vapidness in the eyes of the newer musicians.  (either that or dollar signs)  It's as though there is nothing going on inside those pretty little heads.  Where is the passion?  Where is the intelligence?  Definitley not on MTV.  Or anywhere on tv for that matter.

Nope - sounds a little too morbid for my taste - besides, I don't even own a guitar!!! (but I answered your question because you've asked it several times)

well first look on the internet and then look at guitar center again. That company may not exist any more.

They are extremely innovative, and actually challenge the listener, and make the listener better for it. They are not just popular in The United States either. They also went platinum in Canada, the UK, Australia, and all over Europe and Latin America, and just about any respected music critic thinks they are great too. Not to mention, Jack White is one of, if not the, best guitar player to break out in the past 5 years or so. Not to mention he is an extremely talented (Grammy winning) producer. I saw them live, and they are just incredible. Jack was actually playing more than one instrument at a time. Who does that these days? That sort of talent is very rare.

I love the sound of the old Stella's, especially when the person is playing blues. I also like Gibson acoustic guitars. I own a Martin, which also has a sweet sound.
