Hi folks, thanks for clicking onto this page.
On the 363 days of the year I'm not playing with
Tastes Like Chicken I often listen to the guitar
players below. They usually make me want to go
practice or just throw the damn guitar away and
find something else to do.
Anyway, here are some of my favorites with links
to their websites and YouTube videos where
available. Hopefully a few of them will be of some
interest.
