When I was young, I used to play guitar everyday. I was playing both pop and classic, and little with rock. I’m not expert but enjoying to play for that things.
My first guitar is Yamaha G Series, I don’t think this series still available today. It was very old guitar from my sisters. Oh ya, My sister was expert guitar player. She joined Yamaha Music Center for along time. Thus, she has very good typing or finger style skills. I remember when she was playing classic song with tremolo style, awesome. My brother was playing guitar too. He has 6 set of guitar, OMG. I asked him “How much money did you spend for that things ?
I remember when I was 16 years old, he gave me 12 strings guitar. In the first time playing 12 strings, it was very hard. I have to push 2 pair of string with single finger. I did not like string guitar compared with nylon. So, my favorite is 6 nylon strings. My first original guitar is Electric guitar. Unfortunately, I prefered to play with classic guitar than Electric.
I stopped play guitar because, 4th string broken and I’m too lazy to buy a new one.
At least for a 3 years until last week I did not playing with that thing. Last week I bought one set nylon strings and started to playing it again 
Pop song is simple thing, because it is combination of A,B,C,D,E,F,G note. I’m still remembering and solve that problem. Anyway, playing classical music was very hard. I have to train myself many times before finishing 1 (only) song, typing and finger style is not a simple things 
Like when I was playing guitar for the first time, I play Romance D Amor song.
I forgot some notes, but since we live in the modern world, we can looking for everything
Youtube.com is the best teacher.
The second songs was Pachelbel’s Canon in D. Good song but difficult to play.
In youtube.com, I tried to looking for amateur guitar players.
I found 1 name, Sungha Jung.
He is korean and about 10-11 years old. OH MY GOOD, a kid 10 years old playing Pachelbel’s Canon? I’m impressive with Sungha Jung.
He plays guitar very well and better than other people who older than him.
He is very talented, I really appreciate. When I saw him, I’m thinking possibility of my son playing guitar like him. Yes, when time has come, I will suggest him (my son) to join Music school if he interests wants to do it.
You could see him in this link Sungha Jung playing Canon in D Major .
Another good Asian player is in this link 1 man playing 2 guitars.
He could play with 2 guitars in the same time. The first guitar is Melody and the second one is Bass.
Beside looking classic style players in youtube.com, I’m also looking at Rock musics.
I remember Steve Vai, Mr Big and Dream Theater was my favourites.
I don’t like metal musics, TOO NOISY TOO LOUD. DAR DER DOR. I though metal music was made for a deaf. hahaha…. I’m just kidding, no offense for metal music lovers. Sorry
I like Alternative rock, progressive etc.
Steve Vai was Joe Satriani student when he was studying guitar at Barkeley Music University California, together with Kirk Hammet (Metallica), Kevin Kadogan (Third Eye Blind) and the others.
There are many clips about him in Youtube.com.
Mr. Big was biggest band (At least to me :p) 6-7 years ago. Paul Gilbert and Billy Sheehan did their JOB very well. I’d like to see Paul Gilbert playing solo guitar and Billy Sheehan with his bass. They was joking and fighting each others in the stage.
I’m also looking at Yngwie Malmsteen. If I remember correctly, He was fastest player in the world. I don’t like him :p He is arrogant and trifling. Yngwie is very fast, but ONLY fast. No offense :p
Slash (Guns and Roses) and John Petrucci are kind of lead guitar players whom play with 3 fingers. They could playing it faster, but it’s strange for me. Why you play with 3 fingers if you have more? Expecialy Slash, I hate to see him got drunk in the stages. Yes, Slash and Axl rose always got drunk in the stages. Nuno extreme playing guitar better than you :p
This was only simple summary of my favorites band:
Groups: Dream Theater, Third Eye blind, Stryper and more, I’m forgot most of them
Lead Guitar: Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert and more.
Bass: Billy Sheehan and more.
Drum: Absolutely MIKE PORTNOY (Dream Theater), Terry Bozzio ??? Hihi.
