What's your favorite guitar that's alive.... and still playing shows and is in a band that's making cd's? I mean, what's your favorite current guitar player.
Mine is zacky vengeance from avenged sevenfold :-) what can i say, he's awesome... i love the beggining of burn it down. I don't like the lyrics from avenged sevenfold, i mean... the singing though :confused:
Jake Cinninger from Umphrey's Mcgee. IF you havent heard of em you should head over to archive.org and check out some of their shows :) Ive been to 6 of their shows so far and he is just a really amazing guitarist.
BOTH guitarists from UM are on point. My favorite right now has to go to hendrix, although I'm back into diggin on Micheal Akerfeltd's (of Opeth) writing.
I have 2.... Slash and Buckethead. I don't think they are the greatest or anything because Joe Satriani is friggen amazing but they are my favorite because of their look, style, and skill.
warren haynes
bb king
neil young
i couldnt pick one
tom morrello
joe satriani
im still digging acdc's young bro's
go angus go ,that dude can play on the move,
steve gaines will always be my chioce of favorite of all time
the dude with the flying v gtar in skyrnyrd of 1977
he was on top of his world too at the time of the planecrash

I think John Petrucci of Dream Theater is the man.

But if I had to choose now! I'd have to say Mick from Slipknot, the other guy too(can't remeber his name). Theur newest album is so much more precise playing that their earlier stuff. They can both shred batman fast but still have that low chunky sound that kicks you in the teeth.
Hard to say you know, for sure. I really like Kerry King too, even the 2 guitarists from Strung Out, or Thrice even. Their good in their own league. When you're a guitar player it is so hard to choose just one :D
joe satriani
tom morrello
naluman
Snooks Eaglin, of New Orleans, born 1936, blows away everybody IMHO.
Hendrix! He could make it sing! :D
james....he is pretty good aswell but mick is amazing...Quote:

Az... I see your avitar, and I'm like this cat is laid back, then everyonce in a while you post your musical preferances and I remember your a metal head. It's fucking with me haha. No doubt though alexi can SHRED! I know Townsend plays guitar for SYL but I'm not sure if he does the lead work. Jed Simon is the name of the other SYL guitarist. I'm not too into nile so I don't have info on them.
skynyrd is the shit!!!!!!!!
Zakk Wylde (black label society)
BB King is still alive and playing, and that man can tell a story with a single note.
my fav
jimmy page
peter frampton
eric clapton
but i agree stevie ray vaughn is the best
SLASH!!!!!!!!He is so under rated.And of course David Gilmour...
ok favourite ALIVE guitarists..
Kerry King.(slayer).
Alan west.(six feet under).
Jeff Hanneman.(slayer also).
and ofcourse Joe satriani, steve Vai,paul gilbert, and tommy emanuel ( i had to add an aussie in there..;).)....:D.
yeah its jed he is amazing.....i like other music aswell (mellow shit like sublime, floyd obviously....lots of stuff i just prefere metal over all of them)Quote:

my all time favorite is Hendrix... i also enjoy David gilmour of Pink floyd , and Brian May of Queen
i've been into some metal recentley
also the guy with the "fuck you asshole" icon ( lol ) with the kid... i think in slipknot you mean Joey Jordisson, he plays guitar and drums and is AWESOme at both.
Yup, that's me :D. I've been thinking about taking off the words on my avatar. People think I'm a dickhead or something. :rolleyes:Quote:

Nice one! Everyone I know says Kerry King is the shit, he's fuckin wicked player but everyone seems to forget about Jeff, who is just as good. :cool:Quote:

so for current:

Kai Hansen from Gamma Ray and Brian May.
Mattias Eklund of Freak Kitchen
Paul Gilbert of Racer X
Daniel Mongrain of Martyr, Capharnaum, Gorguts and old Quo Vadis

me.
I can play empty spaces and Set the controls for the heat of the sun ^_^ (I know I'm a noob)
Jimi Hendrix has to probably be my favorite guitar player. Alive, I'd have to go with Carlos Santana. Both are excellent.
