Most of my favorite players play a stratocaster which is why I got a strat.
Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Ritchie Blackmore, Jimi Hendrix, etc. But my favorite player is David Gilmour by far. I've been listening to Pink Floyd for only four years and I still think they sound more original than bands today. So what's your favorite strat player and why?

Mine is absolutely Yngwie Malmsteen because after hearing him play back in 1985 (I was 13 then) I just had to get a guitar and jam out. By that time I was already playing piano for 10 years, alto sax for 4 years, and trumpet for 2 years so with all of that classical training everything that he played made total sense to me and I knew that I had it in me to be able to do it. To this day EVERYONE in the shred realm should be judged by his flawless execution and no nonsense style (ie. he doesn't cheat and do too many pull offs and such; almost every note is picked just like I do myself). I'm going to see him in Cleveland in October with Tim "The Ripper" Owens on vocals which is cool because he grew up in my hometown area so it'll be cool to see him again as well. :twisted:

EC. I grew up listening to Eric Clapton starting in my mid-teen years - even though he is only 7 years my senior. He is one of my favorite guitarists as well, along with Larry Carlton, Steve Lukather, etc...

Hello Blaqdog,

My favorite Strat player is Eldon Shamblin,
He was a grand rhythm play who played with
Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys for many years.
In the seventy's he did some jazz work.

Cheers.

I'm afraid my list will read like "the usual suspects" . . .

. . . my most favorites are Clapton, SRV, Buddy Guy, Hendrix, Eric Johnson and Robin Trower (people always forget him).

I agree with most of you guys. Limiting the answer to one is virtually impossible. It's "who am I listening to and what mood am I in..."

And Trower, Rory Gallager, Walter Trout, and Jeff Healey all go on my list...
