Anti-Ibanez edre v wrote Hi I thought it be interesting to see who everyones favourite guitarist. My favourite guitarist is Ray Toro from My Chemical Romance. He is quite good!Like his style!
Anti-Ibanez People will probably laugh at my list: 1)Slash 2)Jim Adkins 3)Jade Puget 4)Rivers Cuomo too many to mention...
bENDER ? mmmmmmmmm........... Stevie Ray Vaughan Dimebag Darrel Mick Thomson Eric Clapton Billy Gibbons Jim Root Dan Patlansky Munky Head James Hetfield Kirk Hammett Carlos Santana Jack White .............and many more!
Ray A couple oif years ago I bought a CD of Colin James "Bad Habits". I think he is pretty good. Cant say my favorite though becaus eas you go along and think of all the guitar that you have heard in your life you will come up with plenty 'favorites' ne?
C-LYDE None in my list are considered no.1 - all are equal for different reasons - like any great artist I suppose. Afterall this art not 100m dash? And I am very partial to technical masters and fusion, even though I thoroughly appreciate soulful dudes like Carlos Santana or BB King or rhythmic savants like Keith Winter (Shakatak) John Mclaughlin - Zeus Alan Holdsworth - what chord is that? Joe Satriani - fx what fx? Al di Meola - Jazz meets world music at blinding speed Andre Segovia - the master John Williams - the master's understudy Pat Metheny - no boundaries Paco de Lucia - what do mean he cannot read music! Martin Taylor - finger style guru Tuck Andress - finger style guru tu Lee Ritenour - GPR's ace in the hole Hiram Bullock - will be missed - check out solo on Sting's version of Little Wing Mike Stern - 2 tone stern to sterner
DaFiz HooBoy what a list of guitarists, surely I saw Jimmy Page's name in there somewhere ? for tis he who led me through my youth some years ago. Yes it would be silly to try and formulate a list, but pleez let's include Snowy White my favourite guitarist atm (inspired by the likes of David Gilmour and Peter Green) 8)
Guy-Onraet deanBailey wrote I'm gonna withdraw my previous entry and say Guthrie Govan is probably up on top for me. i'm also sticking with Guthrie, but Ron Jarzombek (Blotted Science/Spastic ink/Watchtower) is a beast. Jazz/rock fusion is great, but Jazz/metal has been kicking my ass lately. ???
arjunmenon +1 with AJB and i'll just add John McLaughlin, Greg Howe, Steve Morse, Steve Lukather and Eric Johnson
