I've also been really enjoying Rory Gallagher recently (who was a big influence on Marr).

An amazing guitarist I just recently discovered. Check him out - his phrasing is just magical

I must add Eddie Hazel since his name hasn't been listed yet. Robin Trower (Bridge of sighs) also worth mentioning.

Maggot Brain (1971, Funkadelic with Hazel)


Would have loved to see much more of Hendrix and Hazel !
