As you can see, it's everywhere, though I tend to be on the more melodic rock side of music, even call it Rock that is a little more pop-based if you want.
Favorite guitarists :
The Edge, Neal Schon, Eddie Van Halen, Angus Young, Slash . . . there's a ton more, but between those five you get a wide variety of styles that covers pretty much everything you can do with a guitar.
Favorite bassists :
To be honest, I don't know as many...but the ones I do know, it's because I really like them.

Well . . . I've been playing guitar for around 6 years now, I started out wanting to be the guitar virtuoso that could play like Eddie Van Halen, Neal Schon, Steve Vai, all those amazing technical players.
I don't know if this makes sense - but since then I've aspired to be more of a "musician" than a purely a "guitarist." I've opened up my musical taste so I don't only like bands that have "cool guitar work." If you know what I mean.
I find pleasure in listening to a lot more things now, and I like anything from guitar-based classic rock to sonically interesting music like U2, and all their "follower" bands like Coldplay, Killers, Kings of Leon, and so on. Now I know there's a lot of you here that live and die by the guitar bands, and that's cool - this is a guitar site.
But I'm more into being a musician now, writing unique music that isn't automatically based around guitar even. But don't worry, guitar is still the bomb, and how I go about being a musician, even though I've branched out to keyboards and synths and studio engineering.
