DAVE MURRAY OF IRON MAIDEN
Posted by: SLASH91 Feb 20 2008, 09:48 PM
Hmmm, probably Marty Friedman, but next in line would be Alexi Laiho; I think how he sings and plays lead at the same time is awesome 
Posted by: ZakkWylde Feb 20 2008, 09:51 PM
guess who!

Too many to mention, but been listening to this guy ALOT lately:
Matthias IA Eklundh
Posted by: Stevie·Ray·Vaughn Feb 20 2008, 10:48 PM
Mr Edward Van Halen! Although special mentions go out to Marty Friedman, Paul Gilbert, and Marcus Lavendell. And I'm not even kidding when I say that 
Posted by: Stevie·Ray·Vaughn Feb 20 2008, 10:48 PM
Edit: Posted it twice
Posted by: Pavel Feb 20 2008, 11:50 PM
The one (at least for me) - Rusty Cooley:
Posted by: The Uncreator Feb 20 2008, 11:54 PM
Saw that coming
I would of thought Luca Turilli as well though.
Posted by: superize Feb 20 2008, 11:57 PM
I will have to say alexi Laiho
Posted by: Pavel Feb 21 2008, 12:02 AM
I would of thought Luca Turilli as well though.
Well, we're only allowed 1 picture so...and i have Luca in my avatar
Posted by: The Uncreator Feb 21 2008, 12:03 AM
So you got both in after all!
Posted by: mattacuk Feb 21 2008, 12:13 AM
Yeah I had to toss up between Buckethead, Paul Gilbert and Muris 
Posted by: rokchik Feb 21 2008, 12:29 AM
Well like all of you I have many..so I did enny meany miney moe...and he won
Tom Morello is just so unique and original.
Posted by: Guitarman700 Feb 21 2008, 12:34 AM
Tom Morello is just so unique and original.
never saw that coming.
mine would be Dave Mustaine though. his technique is awesome!
Posted by: 2mazzo Feb 21 2008, 12:40 AM
My favourite is Alex Skolnick from Testament.
Posted by: rokchik Feb 21 2008, 12:41 AM
HeHe....I didn't think it would surprise anyone either
But it was a very hard descision between him and Page....it could have gone either way really.
Posted by: ActiveX Feb 21 2008, 01:37 AM
On their own, two great guitarists;
but together....freakin' awesome!
I can't decide between the two
Dave Murray and Adrian Smith of Iron Maiden
Posted by: Sentenced Feb 21 2008, 01:53 AM
Ok, many great guitarists were mentioned, my choise is Kai Hansen from the band gamma ray, i love Powermetal:
Posted by: at lights end Feb 21 2008, 12:44 PM
i forgot about Thomas Youngblood from kamelot, i love his solos.
Posted by: erik Feb 21 2008, 01:04 PM
Dimebag (RIP)
Posted by: Goliath Feb 21 2008, 01:56 PM
I'm a big fan of Laiho as well, but Sam and Herman make so many ridiculous noises, plus I love the energy they put into their music. If you see them live, you'll know what i mean.
I'm a big fan of Dave Mustaine as well for being kind of a jack of all trades, really strong rhythm player, not a bad lead player.
Also, I'm a big fan of this guy:
James Hetfield used to have punishing rhythm licks.
Posted by: SLASH91 Feb 21 2008, 05:52 PM
Had to add a couple more
Jon Schaffer of Iced Earth
Yngwie Malmsteen (prepares to be flamed )
Posted by: Pavel Feb 21 2008, 07:49 PM
I second that - he's also great at riffs - really makes good stuff
Posted by: at lights end Feb 21 2008, 08:27 PM
of course.
how could i not mention them.
my favourite riffs are the ones in "rule the world".
Posted by: Guitarman700 Feb 21 2008, 08:36 PM
i havent really heard of him. Where should i start?
Posted by: Milenkovic Ivan Feb 21 2008, 08:40 PM
)Did anybody noticed stacks behind him?
Posted by: Guitarman700 Feb 21 2008, 08:43 PM
HOLY CRAP!! is he trying to kill the audience?
Posted by: Goliath Feb 21 2008, 09:20 PM
LOL @ YJM! That's a page right out of Dethklok's book.
Posted by: Zephyr Feb 21 2008, 09:29 PM
My two greatest inspirations, Joe Satriani and Steve Vai!
Posted by: wrk Feb 21 2008, 09:33 PM
Andy Timmons .. defenetly my favorite !!
Posted by: botoxfox Feb 21 2008, 09:47 PM
)LOL @ his sideburns. Maybe he should grow a mustache too?
Posted by: Robin Feb 21 2008, 10:56 PM
Couple of more.
Leo Kottke
Jon Larsen
Posted by: at lights end Feb 21 2008, 10:58 PM
kamelot's new ablum "ghost opera" is very good.
i haven't heard much of their other stuff, but i bought this album and love it to death.
Posted by: DeepRoots Feb 21 2008, 11:03 PM
??????
Posted by: mattacuk Feb 21 2008, 11:07 PM
Jon Schaffer of Iced Earth
Yngwie Malmsteen (prepares to be flamed

Love it. Thanks for the link man. I prefer slower country like Townes Van Zandt but it is awesome and I will have to pick up album.
Posted by: Sentenced Feb 22 2008, 01:55 AM
i haven't heard much of their other stuff, but i bought this album and love it to death.
The Black Halo is great as well! But i think all of their albums are great, kamelot is one of my most favorite bands. It seems at GMC there are a lot of people with good musical taste
Posted by: SLASH91 Feb 22 2008, 02:02 AM
haha. He is one of my top players too At least I've got one person on my side
As far as he goes though, I actually find his arrogance quite hillarious. I remember hearing about one time where he was up on stage and broke out into Eruption by Van Halen. Halfway through he just stopped, looked at the audience, yawned, and started playing some light speed solo of his own.
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Feb 22 2008, 02:02 AM
I think it's more that people have a very wide range of tastes because to become the best guitarist you can be you need to understand and appreciate the good aspects of all kinds of music.
Posted by: SLASH91 Feb 22 2008, 02:02 AM
Posted by: Guitarman700 Feb 22 2008, 02:38 AM
^^ if you remove the sideburns it kind of looks like ron jeremy!

I find it funny too, he just see's it as "rock 'n' roll".

i love it! i think he's made to look even better by that other guy though, johnny has way cleaner playing.
and that sax solo is insane, looks like so much fun! my new aim is to take my sax playing to country music! yeehar!
Posted by: mattacuk Feb 22 2008, 01:32 PM
LOL! dude, is that Senior Gilberto?
Posted by: Batista Feb 22 2008, 01:36 PM

I love this man too, but does he had more than one solo album???
Posted by: Goliath Feb 22 2008, 03:36 PM
Guthrie is a beast, I've watched several of his youtube improv videos, he's sensational.
