3. Dick Dale
4. Les Claypool
5. Johnny Marr

Has Bernard Sumner ever actually learned how to play guitar? That is so punk, to play lead guitar for almost 30 years without giving a shit about all that guitar musicianship bullcrap. Nothing worse than watching somebody showoff for a hour or more. So I say Bernard.

The Gliassando guitar at the start of Flying Teapot by Gong, it's the single nicest sound a guitar has EVER made, and no arguments PLEASE. Also, The Glorious Om Riff, the salmon song, and errrm Light in the Sky ( is that the song titled Diggy?), just by Steve Hillage. Oh and the full length Blue Room by theORB, has some amazing hillage solos on it, but unless you are familliar with his stlye, you wont recognise it as a guitar.

Comrade, I have to agree with the Doctor.

All his choices are classic Hillage :)
