    Kirk Hammett is pretty darn good. In fact, he is awesome and easily one of the best I've seen live.

    Saw John Martyn at Glastonbury, around 78 or 79. He was having a bad night unfortunately - he had a lot of those - but I’d love to have seen him on a good night, because he certainly had those too.

    Unfortunately the drugs and drink didn't do him any favours, however on a good night he was incredible.

    A bit before my time, but Terry Kath deserves a mention. Jazz-rock at its finest. And what a way to go - the silly bugger.

    Joe Perry: tight but loose.

    Glenn Tipton: heavy metal architect.

    Keith Richards: the human riff.

    Glen Campbell was one of the greatest guitarists ever. He played session for everybody of any note in the 60s and 70s.

    The same with Steve Cropper. And James Jamerson, if you know your Motown.

    We had a holiday in Cornwall staying at a guesthouse where the son had been relegated to sleeping in a caravan for the summer. I remember hearing him singing that badly whilst inside that caravan. Him not me. Stayed in my head forever.

    Brian Setzer with his big old Gretsch and gravity defying quiff, the speed of his picking is in a class of its own. Saw him with the Stray Cats before lockdown, stunning ability.

    A guitarist can only be truly judged by their acoustic playing.
