Favorite Guitarists

[genocidal]

Jimmy Page, George Harrison, Jeff Beck, Trey Anastasio being my favourites.

Clapton, SRV, Hendrix, Page, Slash, Jerry Garcia being the most unique and/or skilled in my opinion.

Ok my 2cents

Carlos Santana :greedy:

[Dameon Angell]

I like Santana, he's cool.

Umm... Jimmy Page, Hendrix, Slash, those are givens. Also like Clapton, he's in my cool book too.

[PUNK rock]

Everyone previously mentioned + Tom Morello, although I'm not an audioslave fan

[PH]

Morello's talent goes to waste in Audioslave.

Also, add Michael Romeo and Steve Vai to my previous list.

[Squeezer]

Eddie Van Halen, Jimmie Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmie Page, Slash > All

[Adman]

John Frusciante

[Send]

[genocidal]

Oh shit I missed 2 crucial motherfuckers on my list.

Greg Allman and Dickie Betts (they're also probably the best guitar duo). Up there with Eric Clapton/Greg Allman.

[Jeansi]

Slash (Guns n' Roses)
Eddie Van Halen (Van Halen)
Kurt Cobain (Nirvana)
Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits)
David Gilmour (Pink Floyd)
Jimi Hendrix (Jimi Hendrix Experience)
Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin)

Randy Rhodes (Black Sabbath) isn't that bad either

thread-in-thread: Best guitar solos??

I'll give one from each artist I mentioned above:

Stairway to heaven - Jimmy Page
Eruption - Eddie Van Halen(it's played totally fucked up on the album and it STILL sounds great)
Comfortably Numb - David Gilmour
November Rain - Slash
Randy Rhoads - Crazy Train
All Along The Watchtower or Voodoo Chile - Jimi Hendrix
Sultans of Swing - Mark Knopfler
Smells Like Teen Spirit - Kurt Cobain


edit: Pride and Joy by Stevie Ray Vaughan is fan-fucking-tastic.

[PH]

Dimebag laid down some sick solos. Check out Domination, Cemetery Gates, I'm Broken and Fucking Hostile. They speak for themselves.

As for Satriani, his music is basically a bunch of insane solos with a few semi-basic riffs thrown in so as not to just turn his songs into six-minute finger-breakers. My personal favorite Satch solos are from Surfing with the Alien, Crushing Day, Crystal Planet and Devil's Slide.
