Tom Morello

He is definitely my favorite guitarist. RATM, Audioslave, Nightwatchmen, Street Sweeper Social Club...he is a legendary guitar player. Whenever I watch interviews or video clips of him, he doesn't seem selfish or "rockstar" at all - instead he seems like the kind of guy you could have a great talk with about music or politics.

One interesting thing about him was that he started playing guitar very late compared to other famous musicians - at age 17. While going to Harvard (where he got a BA with honors in government) he had a rigid practice regime of 8 hours a day that he kept religiously.
