1. guitarist; guitar player
A person who plays the guitar, usually professionally or seriously. From English "guitarist." Used for any genre — rock, jazz, classical, flamenco — though it tends to imply a band or solo performer rather than a casual hobbyist.
彼(かれ)は有名(ゆうめい)なギタリストだ。
He is a famous guitarist.
将来(しょうらい)はプロのギタリストになりたい。
I want to become a professional guitarist in the future.
そのバンドのギタリストは即興(そっきょう)演奏(えんそう)が得意(とくい)だ。
That band's guitarist is skilled at improvisational performance.

Loanword from English "guitarist." A casual or beginner guitar player would more often be described as ギターを弾(ひ)く人(ひと) ("someone who plays guitar") rather than ギタリスト, which carries a sense of professional skill.
