Best, Rod Saxman,

And 4..... to blow the house a Gibson Firebird non reverse with 3 mini humbuckers and bigsby BUT must be in Fiesta Red.(as per Crysler Du-Pont PAINT. Finally at the end of times imagine what pleasure a true instrament of pedigree has given all and what a inheritance for others. Forget Ferrari think of Les Paul or Jeff Beck or Wes Montgomery or George Benson, Rod,

Heavy rock for me primarily Paul though I used to play many different styles. Never really been into Gibsons, many years ago I had a custom Charvel / Jackson from America and it wiped the floor with every Les Paul I ever touched. I've an affinity with Strats Paul, the first 'quality' guitar I bought was a Strat but they also sound a bit thin compared to the Jackson with active humbuckers or now the Steve Vai Ibanez. It's tab not music for me Paul as the stuff I used to learn was never written down in music form, different now of course but back then . . . Cheers Rod Paul,

Blues,Old style Rock,Modern Rock,Heavy metal,Country,What is your favourite manufacturer? Do you think the Gibson is the Rolls Royce of guitars.How do you rate Fender Stratocaster copies or do you think that only the real thing is good enough..How do you generally feel about copies? Do you use music or tab? It is amazing how much pleasure you can get from guitar playing.No other instrument has as many different ways of playing.There are more books written about guitar playing than any other instrument.

Jimi is the man of that there's no doubt. My brother put me onto Joe Bonnamassa he's certainly outstanding in his field. I'm the same when it comes to listening more than playing now I'm afraid Regards Rod Gloria,

Great picture. I, too, am guitar addicted, although more to listening than owning and playing, these days. Jimi has always been my hero, but it would be hard for me to get close to a top ten favourite guitarists. I was though, concerned that the greats were dying out and there were no youngsters coming up, until I heard Joe Bonnamassa and subsequently had the privilege of seeing him on two consecutive days at the Byron Bay Blues Festival. If you don't know him, check him out; a joy to behold... in my view, as good as anyone I have ever heard! Have had fun browsing through the various threads of your blog today, Rod.

You want new guitars all the time yet you know you have a favourite, or 'best one' and that's the one you'll always use anyway ! I like Gary Moore but ultimately he's a pastiche really but a joy to listen to, Jeff Beck on the other hand . . . he's the real deal. For me to top men in the order they came are: Jimi Hendrix - Eddie Van Halen - Steve Vai Best Rod Kate,
