Emiel Jongerius: Guitar Heroes

As a guitar player I surely do have some guitar heroes:

Mike Keneally. He has to be number one on my list. I like the way he combines good old rock music with jazz and ideas from the Frank Zappa idiom.
Buckethead is also on the list. The way this guy can play is incredible. At one moment he sounds like a pinball-machine, the next time it's something like new age, while he also can groove.
Joe Satriani should also be on this list. Widely considered as a guitargod I like him more than Steve Vai. He tries to tell stories when he's playing the guitar, whilst Steve is trying to show of all the tricks he knows...
Eddie Van Halen also makes my high ranking list. Not only because of his brilliant rhythem guitar playing (which I value much more than his excellent lead work) but also because he was born in the same town as I am...
Surely some jazz guitar players should be listed here, but I can's make up my mind about that category. I like Joe Pass, Jesse van Ruller and loads of other guys of whom I allways seem to forget their names. Feel free to refresh my memory...

Surely, there are a lot of other guitarists who have influenced my playing, for instance someone like Ferdy Joly who currently plays in Boh Foi Toch but to call him my all time guitar hero...
