Favourite guitarists and why?

[QUOTE="Human-after-all"][QUOTE="daleerin24"]

I said Joe Satriani as well Awsomesauce!

*sigh* Buckethead is far from just a "garbage shredder". He's very versatile and has quite a few acoustic albums along with electric. That being said I agree with you about the emotionless speed guitarists. I can't stand them either.

My favorite guitarist is J Mascis from Dinosaur Jr. I just love his style especially on "You're Living All Over Me".

Actually he did this nunchuck thing on stage one time that was cool and I love when he plays acoustic guitar.

Steve Vai and Guthrie Govan.cyberdarkkid

[QUOTE="Human-after-all"] People will post garbage shredders like buckethead and batio with no feeling in their music and call them the best. Sad people...like those who think ACDC are better than Queen. Human-after-all

I'm actually not much of a fan of Buckethead's music either. He really doesn't have any stage presence as you said. I was just trying to make a point that he does more than shred. And yes, guitarists like Paul Gilbert will always be better in my eyes as well.

If you get away from rock, Pat Metheny is great too.

John Petrucci of Dream Theater

Paul Gilbert

dont follow much as far as guitar players are concerned, but I am a big fan of Kirk Hammet

Paul Leary: Butthole Surfers

Thurston Moore: Sonic Youth

Jeff Hanneman: Slayer

Jerry Cantrell: Alice In Chains

East Bay Ray: Dead Kennedys

Dimebag Darrell: Pantera

Kurt Cobain: Nirvana

Tom morello

Paul Gilbert

Tony Iommi

Jimi Hendrix - no explanation needed

Eddie Van Halen - for "Eruption"

David Gilmour - Because he has the best solo's ever

I dunno, I always thought Van Halen was impressive, then I saw this. Now I'm not so sure.

Marty Friedman I just like his style.

Randy Rhoads - What can i say a man whos life was cut down way too short , quit possibly could of been one of the greatest players ever with so much emotion in his playing his bends just scream at you . I still to this day get goosebumps every time i listen to "Mr.Crowley".RIP

Dave Mustaine - Say what you want this guitarist has mixed feelings due to his former band Metallica . But i look at his talent is undeniable for a man to be apart of one of the biggest bands ever to get kicked out and create and faster ,rawer , and more intense band with crazy riffing . Dave Mustaine The riff king , for him to play and sing songs like Good morning black Friday and Devils island and others is awesome he has influenced me alot .

Jimmi page - You cant play guitar and not appreciate this giants skill his solos so full of emotion and his playing style so clean true legend ...

But their is no greatest guitar player where one is weak another is stronger in that area . it all comes down to personal preference.

John Frusciante - Any musical style, any time (from funk to punk to classic rock).

Adam Jones - Tool, 'nuff said.

Tom Morello - all about rhythm and creativity
