@Icecreamman's post
I watched the history of metal show over the long weekend(was down with flu), and they had the starts and whos who of metal. As they say, he changed guitar playing. Everyone who came after Eddie copied his style. Brilliant, not really, rather fantastic guitarist. Not really a fan of Van Halen, but some of Eddie's licks are just AWESOME!

Mr Brian Setzer really gets to me sometimes. He's not always flashy or very technical, but his Rockabilly licks stack right up there with the best of them.
DaFiz
Snowy White :bopping:

without starting my own thread about him............. this guy I really respect (I am not joking or being sarcastic)
He is trully a good guitarist and chooses to play like this............ I find it really cool, and it is a huge influence on my playing....

Absolutely! I saw a video of him playing "Gravity" live and I've gotta admit in the live solo he pulls it honestly just sounds like his guitar is saying F*** you, but in a very cool way. The guys got major attitude in his playing 8)

Joe Satriani (and his style, playing in chickenfoot) 8)
Steve Vai
Jeff Beck
Petrucci
Gilmour
Slash
Eric Johnson
