Deron Miller (CKY), Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine) and Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins). I used to be all about the mad soloing skills, but for a while I've had a preference for guitarists that have their own style musically.

John Fruisciante. Maybe not the best songs, but he's probably one of the greatest guitarists alive. Maybe the best. :bow:

nah he just didnt fit in with the Priest (they did fire him after they got Halford back anyway) although their song "the ripper" is fantastic :choc:

Crushed Hope

Owens is such a better vocalist than Halford it isn't even funny. The band just decided to write some ty songs when he joined up.

If they wrote another Painkiller, everyone would have been blown the effing hell away.

Anyways.

John Frusciante (Chili Peppers)
Dave Navarro (Ex-Chili Peppers and Jane's Addiction)
Kirk Hamett (Metallica)
Zack Wylde (Ozzy)
Jimi Hendrix
Larry Lalonde (Primus)
Jagori Tanna (I Mother Earth)
Jerry Cantrell (Alice In Chains)
Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin)
Kurt Cobain (Still love those simple riffs he came up with)

Anyone who hasn't heard of I Mother Earth, I recommend you give it a listen. Preferably their first 2 albums, "Dig" (1993) and "Scenery and Fish" (1996). Great guitar work. Sort of Alternative or Metal/Funk, with some slight Carlos Santana influence in Jag's guitar at times. Great Bassist too.

I never really cared for B.C Rich's. ESPECIALLY the Warlock. Sure, it's pretty but it's quality of sound is mediocre at best, IMO.

I heart my Stratocaster. Even if it isn't one of the good ones from the seventies.

That's all I have to say about that.

I don't know much to comment on favourite guitars, but my favourite guitarists would be Stevie Ray Vaughan and Gary Moore, along with a bit of Santana.

Strats are sweet, I don't think Hendrix is the most skillful guitarist ever but he's so awesome that I can't imagine going away from the type he used.

STRATS ROCK!!!

Stratocasters are pretty nice, except behringer strats,they suck.......

Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits)

Kirk Hammett kinda a mixed bag - some solos are dull as ditch, some are hot shizzle. Same With Dimebag.
10-26-2005, 04:09 AM

My favorite would still be Eric Clapton, though Hendrix is wonderful to listen to as well.

Take care all.

Okay, I'm kind of late, but...

Eddie Van Halen (AKA God)
Dave Knudson from Minus the Bear and Botch (super technical, way unique style, complete mastery of the DL-4)
Eric Johnson (Hellooooooo have you heard "Cliffs of Dover?")
Tom Morello
Tom Scholtz (Boston... tone for daaaaaaaaaaaaays. All his solos are the same, but, oh, that tone. So good.)
These dudes from this band called Tera Melos. I can't remember their names off the top of my head, but that band is insanely good.

Aaaaaaaaand.... I'm lame, so I want a PRS Custom 22.

I'm not going to bother pointing out how stupid those choices are, but there's only two guitarists. One of them (I don't know or care which) is the bassist. Besides, you only chose them cos of the band, not on individual merits.

You mean Krist Novosleic? Again, he was a bassist.

Yet another bassist. Bass and guitar are different.

Yet a Bass is a type of guitar so when someone says favorite "guitarist" they could mean a bass. And MCR being horrible?? You know there's this thing called opinion. Im sure you've heard of it. If not, then your sad...

David Gilmour
Muse's guitarist

These are the guitarists that really stand out from the crowd to me. All the others like Slash etc. don't really jump out at me. Just a pile of wank with fast fingers.

No seriously. Isn't a Bass a type of guitar?? So it's only right that a rock n00b, like me, think you mean any guitar. I rest my goddamn case...
