I voted for Steve Hackett, his guitaring is just gorgeous. Not many who play the electric guitar in such a symphonic way that it could almost be included in a symphony orchestra.

Gilmour. I grew up playing and listening to his stuff and it'd be a crime for me not to vote for him. But it did hurt a bit not voting for John Petrucci.

If I'd have to choose from the given options I'd have to say Adam Latimer is my favorite one but I like Omar Rodriguez Lopez and Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth) too.

Didn't know Andy had a guitarist brother.

Seriously though, good choice and fantastic tone. Does anyone happen to have any inside info on what's happening with Latimer nowadays and how likely it is that Camel will ever tour again?

So hard to choose between Gilmour and Omar but Gilmour in the end.

I am a big Camel fan and Andy Latimer is superb in my opinion, but I can't say much about his singing though...

I'm for Gilmour. He's still a favorite from when I first heard him.
