1. Steve Howe
For nearly 35 years, Steve Howe has been at the forefront of guitarists in popular music. Actually, simply referring to Howe as a just a guitarist is limiting. In addition to being a songwriter, he plays more instruments than just the guitar. If it has strings and a fretboard, Howe has mastered it and recorded with it at some point on one of countless albums he's been a part of as a group member, solo artist and special guest ...

Nuno Duarte Gil Mendes Bettencourt:
guitar, music (extreme).
Guitar virtuoso Nuno Bettencourt made his name with the eclectic pop-metal outfit Extreme during the height of the guitar-shredder era, and embarked on a solo career after the band's breakup. As a soloist, Bettencourt's most immediately recognizable influence was Eddie Van Halen, but as a songwriter, he might draw from Queen, the Beatles, Prince, and anything in between. The youngest of ten children in a musical family, Bettencourt was born Nuno Duarte Gil Mendes Bettencourt in the town of Praia da Vitoria, on the island of Terceira in the Azores (an archipelago governed by Portugal) on September 20, 1966. His family moved to Boston when he was four and he began playing music as a teenager, trying out drums, bass, and keyboards, but settling on guitar. Bettencourt played in several area bands, sometimes with his brothers, and joined Extreme in 1985; after becoming quite popular locally, the group signed with A&M and released their debut album in 1989. Three more albums followed, plus a number one pop single in the acoustic ballad "More Than Words," before the band called it quits in 1996. In addition, Bettencourt produced and guested on the second album by Australian hard rockers Baby Animals in 1993; the following year, he married the group's lead singer, Suze DeMarchi ...

Best known as the founder and leading guitarist of the Dire Straits rock band, Mark Knopfler has also dedicated himself to an equally successful solo career.
He worked as a journalist and a teacher before the Dire Straits creation. In 1978 the band released their first album Dire Straits and one year later there was the second album Comunique. The band's next albums, Making Movies (1980) and Love Over Gold (1982) featured hits Tunnel Of Love, Romeo And Juliet, Telegraph Road and Private Investigation. In 1985 Dire Straits released Brothers in Arms, one of the best selling albums at all times. The 'Live in 85/86' tour saw Dire Straits play 234 shows in twelve months to combined audiences of about 2.5 million. Dire Straits did a total of three concerts for the Prince's Trust. They appeared at the Live Aid Concert (1985) and the Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Concert (1988)
In 1983 Knopfler started a parallel solo career with David Puttnam's film Local Hero. Further film work included soundtracks to Cal, Comfort And Joy and The Princess Bride ...

5. lenny breau
The Lenny Breau Homepage. The late Lenny Breau was a true jazz guitar genius who ranks alongside Django Reinhardt, Charlie Christian and Wes Montgomery as one of a select few inspired innovators who set new standards of creative artistry in Jazz Guitar history. Lenny's musical influences were truly diverse. They ranged from Country fingerstyle master Chet Atkins, Jazz Guitarists Johnny Smith and Tal Farlow, Flamenco virtuoso Sabicas, Jazz pianist Bill Evans and sax titan John Coltrane. Drawing from these eclectic sources Lenny created a truly unique voice in the guitar world.
Lenny's unprecedented technical facility and depth of musical insight allowed him to play Bill Evans style chord voicings simultaneously with improvised single note lines. His country and classical right hand techniques allowed for great independence of parts and subtle tonal and dynamic shadings. Lenny possessed a singular blend of techniques and musical knowledge that often created the illusion of two and sometimes three musicians eminating from a single guitarist ...
