Mine are the guys from bullet and zacky and syn...paul guilbert michael angelo batio and last but not least

SHRED DURST haha

I think this topic has been before.

But here's your answer, just from the top of my head:

Shawn Lane
Frank Gambale
John Petrucci anno 86-93
Dan Rock
Brian McAlpin

There are probably more that could be added to the list...

This has been done many times but

Chuck Schuldiner
James Murphy
Jerry Cantrell
Jason Becker
Allan Holdsworth
John McLaughlin
Frank Zappa

etc.

Ummmm thats a long long list for me i think- though some that spring to mind are:
John Petrucci
Guthrie Govan
Paul Gilbert
Muris
Greg Howe
Allan Holdsworth
Gus G
Joe Satriani
Steve Vai
Michael Romeo
Andy Timmons

In no particular order (except the top three are definitely my top three )

Eh, I completely forgot about Jason Becker! And Marty Friedman for that matter.

Anyways: Jerry Cantrell was one of the first guitarists I was really in awe of - I used to think he was an amazing guitarist. He still is - for his genre, no doubt about it.

How could I forget Marty. Of course Marty is in my favs also. Jerry Cantrell is just a great guitarist. Perfect at what he does.

There is only one for me

Luca Turilli

Bumblefoot

i just discovered this guys stuff a bit ago.. two favorite songs are Cactus and I can't play the Blues

My favorite guitarist is Gus G.. his stuff in Firewind and Dream Evil blows my mind, not because its overly difficult or technical but because imo that is metal, his rythem riffs and his solos can only be described as metal

Other than that the list goes as follows
John Petrucci
Joe Duplantier
Steve Vai
Joe Satriani
Peter Lindgrin
Willie Adler + Mark Morton

Kirk Hammett
Steve Vai
Joe Satriani
Jimmi Hendrix

Guys, we had this topic just recently, featuring the exact same title:

So I really can't be bothered to reply to this..
