I have never heard of 'Guitar Hero' the game but if have some guitar hereos. Actually 'hero' is probably the wrong word but all of the following guitarists have made me look at the instrument in ways that I may not have done without their influence.

In no particular order...

Scotty Moore
George Harrison
Nic Jones
Richard Thompson
Albert Lee
Chet Atkins
James Burton
Mairead O'Donnell
Gerry Cooper
Jamie Roberts
Duncan McFarlane
Ralph McTell
Brian May
Steve Tilston
Brian Setzer
Jerry Reid
Cliff Gallup

Kate Rusby
Emily Saliers
Nanci Griffith

... and many more.
