Your favorite guitarist?

[Nazulu]

Probably Jimi Hendrix for me, he is amazing on stage and wrote some bloody good riffs!

 

[Sipo]

definately Dimebag Darrell(r.i.p.) after him id say Hendrix, Slash, Jimmy Page, Synyster Gates, Buckethead and Tom Morello

 

[HelbrechtBT]

Andy mckee
Such a natural guitarist it is actualy quite butifull to watch him play.

 

[Berethond]

Wes Montgomery.

 

[similar.squirrel]

Jeff Loomis and Joscho Stephan. Metal and gypsy jazz respectively.

Kim Tayill

Mick Thompson.

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

Mikael Akerfeldt...hope I spelled that right. Dave Mustain, Darron(can't speel his last name, He's from System of a Down though), many more, but those are at the top of my list.

 

[Clashero]

He's from The Doors, plays some fun riffs. Lennon flew by me too, don't feel bad.

The Doors? Was that the band that did Break On Through To The Other Side and Light My Fire? If so, then yes, that man is one hell of funky guitarist.

Also, I forgot Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler 0_0.

To the Edit button!

Agree completely. Clapton kicks ass.

I'll add one more to this list: Brian May. The best example that speed doesn't equal good playing.

I'll also say Paco de Lucía. His music isn't my style, but the stuff he can do is amazing.

 

[A big red rooster]

In no particular order:

Joe Satriani
Eric Johnson
Alex Lifeson
Chuck Schuldiner
Mark Knopfler

 

[Just_Karol]

George Harrison or Neil Young for me.

(Honourable mentions:Johnny Greenwood, Josh Homme, J. Mascis and Jimi Hendrix).

 

[Draco Kaiser]

Synyster Gates

 

[AvsJoe]

Daniel [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMNjXJTnt2k&feature=channel_page] Fucking [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCJ-ARDzU-4&feature=channel_page] Tidwell [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5j9W5PBsa30&feature=channel_page]. He's coming out with his first solo album soon. Purely video game covers.

 

[CIA]

I would say Slash, Jimi Hendrix, and I do really like John Frusciante. Zakk Wylde is just insanely good though.

Zakk Wylde uses too many pinch harmonics for my taste.

Randy Rhoads.

I believe he was once described as "An angel of a guitarist," Although I'm not sure by who.

 

[dsau]

[Ironpanda]

[Godhead]

Adrian Smith from Iron Maiden.

 

[ratbob985]

Dimebag Darrell, Mattias IA Eklundh, Michael Amott and Jeff Loomis

 

[Aqualung]

Matt Bellamy.

Spoiler: Couldn't agree more.

 

[Nigh Invulnerable]

Tony Iommi.

/thread right here.

In addition to Iommi, I'm a fan of Hammett/Hetfield, Adam Jones, Ler, Enver Izmailov, and the guy who wrote "Emerald" for Thin Lizzy.
