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

Jun 20 2008, 04:54 PM
Haha, I love Janick's solos, Especially in 'Fear Of The Dark'. He has a very edgy style that I like
Xose Pineda
Jun 20 2008, 11:56 PM

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

Whosever the best in Maiden, Janick is definatly the most entertaining one on stage
. 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

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.

Your list of guitarists are great!
I want to mention
Neil Young,
who's been a huge inspiration to me - not because of great technique (by all means, no!), but because his Tone and Feel (and Volume) is mindblowingly awesome!

Jun 22 2008, 05:42 PM

+1! I agree! It's impossible for me say all the guitarist I like... a lot!
DeepRoots
Jun 22 2008, 06:18 PM
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

LasseToftDK
Jun 23 2008, 07:11 PM
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..

Lots of them are cool, too much to write. Each one is great in its own way.
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
Jun 23 2008, 07:27 PM
So many to pick from, SRV and Page are two that come to mind
Trond Vold
Jun 23 2008, 08:39 PM
Well.. hm.. i have way too many favourites
But if i were to pick 2 that has really made an impact on me, then it's Kirk Hammet and John Petrucci

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!
FrankW
Jun 24 2008, 10:16 PM
Andy Timmons, Guthrie Govan, or Greg howe..
Amazing to say the least.
These are my favorites also...and throw in John Petrucci.
Muris Varajic

Really hard decision,tons of outstanding players out there!!
But there is one who made huge impact on me
and always brings nice memories when I'm listening to him
Mr. Knopfler

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