Re: Post your five best ever guitar players here

Randy Rhoads - He'll always be #1
Andy La Rocque - He's just too badass!
Kirk Hammett - Everything he did before the black album was kick ass.
Zakk Wylde - Zakk just rocks!
James Hetfield - The riff master!

Re: Lots of diverse tastes here!

And we still haven't touched on some great guitarists such as Danny Gatton, Les Paul, BB King, Scotty Moore, Robert Johnson, James Burton, George Harrison, Pat Martino, Peter Frampton, Buddy Guy, Roy Buchanan, Paco, Julian Bream, Pat Metheny, Brent Mason, and sooooooo many more.

I was surprised that nobody included Santana or Clapton - they always seem to come up normally.

I was also a bit saddened to see no mention of Hippietim on anyone's list [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Even more surprising is that nobody mentioned Ralph Macchio. After all, he did kick Steve Vai's ass. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Lots of diverse tastes here!

I find it hard to believe that anyone even cares who I think are the top 5 guitarists.

I know I don't even care who I think they are...
