I've been slacking off heaps in the past year. Need to find a teacher to learn from again. Might even transition to classical so I can learn some Paco de Lucia

It's really not that hard to quantify..., but I believe that being raped once is not as bad as being raped five times, even if the one rape was by a gang of people.

I like fingerstyle, but not classical, like at the moment i'm trying to transition from playing by tabs to playing by ear, like as in someone can just give me the chords of a song and i can arrange it in my head for both the melody and the bassline, it's more efficient than learning from tabs i guess :D

I'm also thinking of getting an electric, but dunno if I should, right now, I have a Takamine EAN10C-TBS

Fingerstyle? Andy Mckee. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsD6uEZsIsU
or Tommy Emanuel. I don't play much classical guitar, although some Bach violin concertos are good to play.

And yes Acinod, that kid is amazing haha. In a lot of his earlier videos he looks depressed, but as he got older he seems to enjoy his guitar much more.

Best guitarists in terms of lead guitar: Chris Cheney

However, for overall general awesomeness my favourite guitarists are Matt Bellamy (muse) and Johnny Greenwood (radiohead), for their use of effects.

Oh and Don Ross (acoustic solo) is amazing as well.

What guitars do you guys use? My acoustic is a Maton ECW80C, and electric is a Schecter C-1 classic.

My first guitar was some 10 year old guitar I stole from primary school. No jokes LOL
Then bought some cheap one in Vietnam :P
Finally settled on this Spanish guitar handmade from some fancy wood....

And just bought a yellow ukelele yesterday for $5 WOOT! :D

Tommy Emmanuel is great for fingerstyle stuff, and he's Australian.
Bruce Mathiske is also fantastic, the same sort of style but he's lesser known. I saw him play in Geelong and it was great!
Ricardo Gallen is a classical guitarist whom I say play in melbourne, fantastic player. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZegaLI4M_w
Joe Pass's solo stuff would also be relevant for fingerstyle stuff. When you consider he is improvising most of what he plays, it is quite phenomenal.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9VWSFjpuTM


As for other some guitarists....

Guthrie Govan - Fusion
Shawn Lane - Fusion
Al Di Meola - Fusion/World
Bireli Lagrene - Gypsy Jazz - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yfQN8-tVlQ
Pat Martino - Jazz (He had a brain aneurysm in his 30s after already becoming an accomplished player and then had to re-learn how to play, becoming arguably even better than he already was)

They are some of my favourites and just off the top of my head, but it is important to listen to as much different music as possible.

Also.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE7waNi5dc0&list=FLaHWTfJy-TQ_gHWin3dbrQg&index=59&feature=plpp_video
Watch the related videos as well. My god...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAfCcyWUIwI&list=FL9dpUoQpHdU5EPNX28kY3IQ&index=6&feature=plpp_video

I don't play acoustic much myself though
