When I went over to the States to promote Outrider, everyone was telling me I was a blues guitarist. I'm not a bloody blues guitarist. I'm a guitarist.

Jimi Hendrix came from the blues, like me. We understood each other right away because of that. He was a great blues guitarist.

Miles Davis

I'm not committed to putting myself up for a blues guitarist, even though I love playing the blues.

Jeff Beck

I am, and always will be, a blues guitarist.

Eric Clapton

I'm more of a strumming guitarist, instead of a lead soloist guitarist.

Stark Sands

I wouldn't count myself as being a true blues guitarist because I feel you have to live it.

Robin Trower

I think people must wonder how a white girl like me became a blues guitarist. The truth is, I never intended to do this for a living.

Bonnie Raitt

But if you want me to knock Kingdom Come, all I will say is that I heard the guitarist said he'd never heard my playing, and I'd defy any guitarist in American not to have heard Led Zeppelin.

Jimmy Page

Having pop sensibilities from my past and also being a lead blues and sort of rock guitarist allowed me to bring that kind of beachy rock groove.

Cody Simpson

I've always been a fan of Buddy Guy as a guitarist, as well as Stevie Ray Vaughan and those blues guys. I'd say those are pretty big influences on me.

Chris Carmack

I thought Eric Clapton was good. He still is. Not only is he good - he's rock's #1 guitarist, and he plays blues better than most of us

B. B. King

People ask me to describe how I play, and the most obvious answer is that I'm a jazz influenced guitar player. But I'm not a jazz guitar player. Wes Montgomery was a jazz guitarist, Joe Pass was a jazz guitarist (laughs).

Larry Carlton

When I was a kid I really liked the guitarist of The Doors [Robby Krieger]. He plays blues, but he plays a lot of melodic things. He plays scales that are kind of unusual, and some bent notes.

Stephen Malkmus

Very unique: I was a singer-songwriter-guitarist. Very unusual in the late Seventies to find a singer-songwriter, and on top of that, a guitarist.

Andy Kindler

I was training to be a lawyer... I was president of the law society at Glasgow University, and my bass guitarist was my secretary of my law society; the lead guitarist and writer worked at the law firm that I worked.
