matt bellamy(muse)

because he is awsome

[flamingskullballs]

oh, i forgot about Galder, the founding member of Old Mans Child

Not a big fan of In Defiance of Existance, but yet a large fan of OMC...the riffs in Pagan Prosperity and Ill-Natured Spritual Invasion have such classical feel...definantly the best of melodic black metal

Rusty Cooley.

Mr. Iommi lost a few fingers as well. To me, he was an amazing guitar player as he was missing the tips of a few of his playing hand. He made putty tips so he could still play. 90% of my playing is based on feel to know here to notes are. To not have that feel, to me, would make things very difficult.

I also enjoy Jeff Hannamen. Better than Kerry King I think.

the best guitarist isnt the most technical, cause ill hear some insane shit with alotta like grindcore bands and european metal that my bro listens to it, but they seem to get too technical instead of just playing something that sounds good.

to me, the best guitarist means whos work moves me in a good way. will i tune out everything else just to hear the guitar? does the riff get my blood flowing? can i find the beauty in its simplicity?

hendrix - god how it moves me
hammet - some of my favorite solo parts are his
rossington - doesnt get the attention like paige, but i like his playing more
clark domae - from a band called rufio, plays alot of sick shit
whoever plays guitar for OAR, hes amazing

[Loop]

Steve Vai - "For the Love of God"
