Favorite Guitarists

I looked back 5 pages to see if there was any similar thread and didnt find one so here it is. For all you guitar players out there (or even if you're not), list your favorite guitarists if you have any. It doesnt have to be in a particular order, I just want to see what kinds of guitarists Fakkers prefer. :D For me, Id have to say Paul Gilbert Spoiler: Jeff Loomis Jason Becker Shawn Lane Spoiler: Jeff Beck Eric Johnson Dimebag Marty Friedman Spoiler: Steve Vai Alexi Laiho John Petrucci Spoiler: Buckethead Joe Satriani Paco De Lucia Spoiler: Karl Sanders Muhammed SuiÃ§mez Michael Romeo ..I might list some more later... Now that I think about it, lets post some of our favorite tracks/solos from our favorite guitarists! Lets not turn this into a constant vid posting thread though, try to keep it down to a minimum and just show us some reasons why theyre youre favorite if you want. Ill edit this post later to add some more. Ill start off with Jeff Loomis.... Miles of Machines, and Opulent Maelstrom. Both off of his album, Zero Order Phase. Spoiler: Favorite part for OM is at 1:35. Im attempting to learn this right now, though Im nowhere near this speed.

John 5

I think you may be one of the first people I have come across to have heard of him.

Any favorites? I like Black Widow of La Porte, The Werewolf of Westeria, and Bella Kiss.

Gus G From Firewind and now Ozzy Osbourne

What!? I never heard of this. That's pretty awesome I guess, but where's Zakk going to go? Did Ozzy just kind of ditch him?

Gus G played for Ozzy at Blizzcon, i think that was just a 1 time thing.

Really?! I'm disappointed in myself for not knowing about this :(

Edit: Yup, the internet has confirmed it for me. Maybe the next album will be a power metal album! *crosses fingers*
