Im not sure I dare say cos if one of them is a really bad pic of him I look a right fool for missing my guitar hero :oops:

........but for me no one beats Johnny Marr who is technically brilliant, creatively sublime and was able to take old styles and make them sound so fresh and original to produce such fantastic music that forms one of the best back catalogue's of songs any band in the world can lay claim too

Row 2 position 1 Eric bloom, although I'm struggling to see why he'd be there and not buck dharma.
Bottom row in the cap - the guy out of cheap trick with a Swedish sounding name? Rick nielsen maybe.?

I’ve come across the answers for this. Some of them I’ve never heard of, some we have wrong.
Unless the OP has them, it’s his thread, I’ll post them when folk stop guessing.

Is right hand side second to bottom row Squire? Doesn't look like him but Les Paul sunburst is what he is known for on his later Led Zep inspired stuff and expected him to be on there
