Paul Rose (Rory Gallagher's favourite player)

Paul Rose, born in Newcastle, England in July 1966, is without doubt one of the most unique and talented guitarists in the world today. Fundamentally a rock guitarist, his extraordinary playing style touches on blues, country, jazz and folk, blended together into a style that is entirely his own. Never a gig goes by where audience members dont comment that Paul is the best guitarist theyve seen and heard. Quotes Out of 1000 guitarists, Rory Gallagher selected Paul as the winner and described him as 'a hot player with a hot future.' Having also won 'Guitarist of the Year' in Guitarist Magazine a couple of years later, it is plainly obvious that Paul is a force to be reckoned with.
