I like melodies in my music. That's why I love folk and Viking metal since they're typically very melodic.

Then you might want to check out Negură Bunget.A Romanian Black Folk Metal band.Let's just say that they revolutionized modern Black/Folk Metal.

 

[Rarhnor]

Billy howerdel. Ashes Divide and A Perfect Circle.

Paco De Lucia, John Mclaughlin and Al Di Meola

Noodle is just Damon Albarn or assorted random quest guitarists.

So yes it counts
