Favorite Guitarists!

[Sunny Day Suicide]

I can't believe no one has even mentioned Matthew Bellamy yet!!

So eh..
1. Matthew Bellamy (Muse) hee hee
2. Billy Corgan (Samshing Pumpkins)

And for bass guitarists:
1. Chris Wolstenholme


Why are bass guitarists always overlooked??
Bass is just as good as guitar!*nods furiously*

Matthew Bellamy is awesome. But some of his solos kind of get repetetive. Like New Born & Hysteria. But stockholm syndrome wasn't that bad.

To add to my earlier post:
Adam Dutkiewicz
Joel Stroetzel

My favourite guitarists would have to include Jerry Cantrell (AiC), Alexi (Bodom), Deron Miller (CKY), Chuck (Death), Pepper Keenan (Corrosion, Down), Ginger (The Wildhearts), Tom Morello (Rage), Dan and Pin (Sikth), Claudio and Travis (Coheed), and Friedman (Megadeth). All musicians who can put together some damn fine riffs, and top them up with the odd amazing solo. A good riff and a well thought out solo means more to me and speed and technique any day, and I've been playing for around four years now.

I really never expected anyone to mention Deron Miller, or Claudio Sanchez, but they're both fantastic.

Eric Clapton, Duane Allman, Warren Haynes, BB King, Chuck Berry, and Neil Young. All are amazing with both electric and acoustic guitars, and Duane Allman and Warren Haynes could/can both play a mean slide guitar.
