Post your favourite Guitarist

After reading through a bunch of threads about basicly the same thing this week (and all of them being sub par)

about the "best guitarist"
or who is the best out of these guitarist's etc.
i have come to the conclusion that some people in OT have no idea about talent, sound or soul or whatever.

i want everyne to post there favourite guitarist, either pic or a link to them doing... well what there best at! and your personal top five Guitarists!

here is one of my favourite Guitarists,Takayoshi Ohmura

and my top five:

1.Takayoshi Ohmura

2.Kiko Loureiro

3.Michael Romeo

4.Jeff Loomis

5.Chuck Shuldiner. closely followed by John Petrucci,Steve Vai and Yngwie Malmsteen

My top 5 favorites are...

1. Frank Zappa

2. Jimi Hendrix

3. Randy Rhoads

4. James Iha

5. Steve Vai

As I say in every thread about this. He is technically capable, but is by no means the best guitarist in that respect, rather he is my favourite, and that man is:

Robin Finck.

Why? because he is made of pure awesomeness.

You can't not like him. >.>SolidSnake35

Jonny Greenwood.

Watch him HERE and HERE (watch for the solo at the end)

Jon Devoto and Shawn Harris of The Matches. I had to pick both because their songs require two guitar parts. :)
