Favorite Guitarists

Synyster Gates and Joe Satriani.

All you need.

It suprises me that Jimi Hendrix only got named once.

besides him:

Stevie Ray Vaughan
Tom Morello
Brian May
Eric Clapton

Currently mine is

Hideto "hide" Matsumoto (R.I.P.) of X-Japan

Dimebag NNNNNNGGHhhhhhh Darrel, no other could possibly earn this much respect and love from me.

The mere mortal that would come the closest possible to his awesomeness would be Roope Latvala.

I don't really have many favorite guitarists, in fact it's only him and Sam Totman:

- Herman Li: This guy rocks. It's really Extreme Power Metal as he said. Ever since I seen a video of him playing, I myself start playing my trusty F-300 BK. He is my inspiration and what I want to be in the future with my guitar. This guy's pure skill, not only is he blazing fast and stunt-full in his play, but he also make several videos demonstrating skillful tricks and licks. Hot Damn, that's enough to describe him.

Now, the reason I like Sam Totman is practically the same as Herman Li, since I knew Sam totman right after I knew Herman Li.

He did? Ah well, when I acknowledge his superior skill, I'm no fan of his music.

I am surprised that Steve Vai only have been mentioned twice this far(And once by myself)

To me, even if i put Tommy Emmanuel first on my list, this guy is a god. For his talent both as an guitarist, and as a musician. Gotta love that mans work.

*looks at first post* :|

How can you not like Freak Show Excess?

Because Steve Vai can be a serious douchebag sometimes.

Im just here for the skill man, none of that extra crap.

Although... that is why I kept Yngwie Malmsteen off my list, that guys such an asshat.

Who said I didn't like Freak Show Express? O.o
I just posted Bad Horsie because I believe that to one of his best. ^^

And I'm no fan of Malmsteen. First of, he's an ass. Secondly, most of his work sounds to much like each other.

Yeah, classical sounds good,........

for the first 10 minutes.

Yeah.. ;/ The sad thing is that most guitarists(and bands, musicians, w/e) eventually winds up just making the same stuff over and over again. And the fact that solo guitarists such as Malmsteen, Vai or Petrucci also seems to behave like they are above all others.
But I don't mind they behaving like asses as long as they do good music. ^^

Thats why I love Paul Gilbert and Jeff Loomis, theyre nice as ever and down to earth, yet kick major ass on guitar.

what....only one mention of Matt bellamy here.

Dude was still playing even after he fell.If thats not dedication to music,I dont know what that is.

Wow. How did I forget Jim Croce? Jim Croce rocked...Sort of...Regardless, is music was awesome.

I'm not so good at guitar players but i would have to say

Kirk Hammett
Angus Young
Jimi Hendrix
David Gilmour
Matthew Bellamy
Slash

There is more but that will have to do

You, sir...Have good taste.
