To Luigi - Paul Kossoff was the guitar player in Free you've probably heard their biggest hit 'All Right Now' they played blues based rock, sadly Paul committed suicide at the height of the band's fame in the early 70's. Free also featured one of rock's best vocalists in Paul Rodgers who went on to form Bad Company. Paul Kossoff I believe favoured a Les Paul and had tone to die for, a very expressive player with his own distinctive style. More of my favourites are (I was tired when I posted last) - The 3 Kings, BB,Freddie and Albert, Robert Cray, Pete Townshend and of course Jimi Hendrix, Rory Gallagher also springs to mind but hey, I could go on forever. Like you I find it hard to pick out a favourite there are so many great players out there - I forgot Carlos Santana - There is no best guitarist it's all a matter of personal preference.

It takes 3 chords, 2 fingers and one asshole to play rock'n'roll
