I've just got an idea of creating the short guide to rock and jazz guitar players. So you will see that it's sorted by guitarist's last name in ascending alphabet order. Than I provide an information about the band he/she had been playing. You will see in caps the most respected guitarists on my list. Also there should be one or two bands or credits that he/she had been playing with. Please feel also free to add to the letters that already have one or more guitarists.
