Seems you didn't read the thread title...

I did. But still, I would think much of the people in this thread would be guitarists, and I believe guitarists should be open to numerous genres of guitar

True, but only 2 very similar types of guitar-playing would be boring. I am sorry if my post offended you...

I'm gonna have to add Eddie Van Halen for his display of guitar playing in Eruption. And Dimebag Darrel who uses his hands to create his sounds NOT effects pedals and don't forget Kirk Hammetts who I already mentioned.

My favorite guitarist is Allan Holdsworth. He plays fusion, and is known by many as "the guitarist's guitarist". Here's him in action.
