Mikael Åkerfeldt and Paul Gilbert are my favourites. Fredrik Åkesson is great aswell, but I can't really see him as a favourite since I've only heard Watershed and some Krux stuff with him.

I must say I have had my ears opened to so many great guitarist since I joined GMC. Vai, Petrucci, Satch, Lynch, Gilbert and the list goes on not to mention our very own instructors. My list of faves is growing steadily that's for sure, but my tops are still Morello and Page.

Dave Murray of Iron Maiden, His sense of melody and technique are just superior to everything, He is the one who made me pick up guitar, and he is the one who makes me want to keep on getting better.

Dave Murray Is most triumphant, but I don't know I am partial to Adrian... Janick on the other hand I am not such a big fan
The Uncreator
Haha, I love Janick's solos, Especially in 'Fear Of The Dark'. He has a very edgy style that I like smile.gif

I agree... He's one of the kings.

Whosever the best in Maiden, Janick is definatly the most entertaining one on stage biggrin.gif. About my favorite guitarist I think it must be this:

Songwriting - Mikael Åkefeldt of Opeth : For writing kick ass riff which really grooves while he also used cool and often jazzy chords that really is one of the bottomlines of Opeths unique sound.

Technique - Jeff Loomis of Nevermore: Simpely for having a mindblowing technique while he still remains in a real band, write good music and doesnt overdo the shredstuff and shows of in countless of videos like all the other famous ones at his level.

My favorite overall: Mohammed Suicmez of Necrophagist: For playing all insane riffs throughout whole songs WHILE singing. He is just a genius at guitar and genius at growls, while he looks like nerd from your collegeclass tongue.gif
Matt23
Joe Satriani, Buckethead, John Petrucci, Andy Mckee (in no particular order). I could never decide between them. smile.gif
g-forcelover

Slash
Marcus Lavendell

I should probably add Marcus Lavendell to my list.

Storm Linnebjerg
I'm gonna go with two guys somewhat out of the ordinary. I've always liked them though, don't really know why:

Dan Rock and Brian McAlpin from Psychotic Waltz.

Besides those two:

Jason Becker and Marty Friedman.
Saoirse O'Shea
To name only one, not easy but it would be Allan Holdsworth.

Cheers,
Tony

Your list of guitarists are great! laugh.gif

+1! I agree! It's impossible for me say all the guitarist I like... a lot!
DeepRoots
Though there are plenty that i've thought were good- i'd say my favourite four are:

Guthrie Govan
Muris
John Petrucci
Paul Gilbert

That's not in order though- i like all their playing equally wink.gif
mattacuk
Buckethead and Paul Gilbert , Yngwie Malmsteen, Dr Brian May
Patrik Jezierski
think I have to answer Guthrie Govan on that question smile.gif
LasseToftDK
Steve Lukather, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Mike McCready, David Gilmour, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Allan Holdsworth.. Just to name a few.. But it's impossible to pick my favorite guitarist cause they are all good in their own ways and styles..

I also think about it that way...I'd say I have at least 2 faves for a genre...for instance paco de lucia flamenco, yngwie neo-classical, SVR, Freddie King Blues, John Frusciante Funk, Crossover, Kirk Hammet and many others metal, and so on and so on
Henry Dietzel
So many to pick from, SRV and Page are two that come to mind
Trond Vold
Well.. hm.. i have way too many favourites smile.gif But if i were to pick 2 that has really made an impact on me, then it's Kirk Hammet and John Petrucci
PanicProne
I've got loads of favourite musicians (!). But as far as a guitarist I'd have to say Teppei Teranishi from Thrice. He's just... well, my favourite. Good riffs, nice variation and great songs. As far as vocalists, don't get me started!

Mr. Knopfler smile.gif

Yes!
And he's surprisingly difficult to play when you study his technique! smile.gif
