It's my birthday and I'm feeling generous... (in Contests)
But not that generous. Anyhow, I turned 32 today (yay.) As you all can see from my pic, I'm a music guy, a guitarist in fact. The first CB'er that can come up with the name of the guitarist who influenced me the most gets 50k. That is all.

To answer a question I got via chatmail, one guess per person. Also, who in the world is Johnny Marr?

Joe Perry?
"Also, who in the world is Johnny Marr?"
in the eighties he was the guitarist for the smiths, now he is with modest mouse. a bit obscure, but i was trying to not give the obvious answers.

Happy birthday.
Ry Cooder would be my guess. I've a few friends who play guitar and they all swear that guy was a genius.

hard to say based off just a pic of a strat, but clapton and hendrix were already picked, not sure who else you'd assume we'd know that would be associated with a strat
or it has nothing to do with the strat at all and we're just guessing good guitarists?
what music do you play? that might help us figure out who inspired/influenced you the most
I play metal...not the death variety The guitarist I'm referring to has played Strats, live anyway, but can't really be concretely associated with one. Also, he's British.

Drudge - he's got a 3 minion strat - what's that got to do with anything? ;)

He's got a Myspace page, you can hear what he plays. *smile*

Come to think of it, it DEFINITELY has to be an Iron Maiden Guitarist... I'm thinking: Adrian Smith, Janick Gers, or Steve Harris, but probably one of the first 2 since Steve is bass.

Adrian Smith Final answer :p
One guess per person, PsyChO :)

Lame, giving them clues after I've answered.
Heh don't take it personally, I was just trying to help Drudge out is all :)

From the sample on the site, I would guess Dave Mustaine.
Thanks for the birthday wishes and great guesses, everyone. I've decided to split up the prize between War Maiden (for coming the closest without any help) and PsyChO (for his belated realization). Cheers, everybody.

Nah, PsyChO got it right. It's Adrian Smith.
