What about Leonard Cohen? I have yet to see anyone else pull off a successful emulation of this guitar playing:

I think you might be a little biased, but who cares: Leonard Cohen still is way better that I can ever be, so I won't say anything nasty.

I am very glad no one has mentioned Johnny Buckland, because he's terrible. There are at least forty kids in every high school in the world who could kick his ass at guitar.

^^ Yes that is terrible. Interesting choice with Leonard Cohen, he does a very good finger-picking style.

Sir Richard Bishop is an amazing guitarist in my opinion, he has great technical ability, but incorporates lots of feel and originality into his playing. I wish I could find that one song were he sweep picks just once throughout the song, and he chose just the right place to let it all loose. If you are afraid of atonal noise, choose the first video.




guy on the right.
