dude, his lesson in GW magazine in the early 90s was life changing. I never knew how important mouth shape was to playing guitar. Plus tabs for Big Bottoms & Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You in that issue

[Larz]

[tonemonster]

Rhoads
Lynch
Paisley
Timmons
Tipton

Cool to see Tipton make somebody's list. he is a very underrated player IMO. you dont hear many people talk about him. I think he has a great style, and very melodic phrasing.

[Twitch]

James Hetfield
Zakk Wylde
Dave Mustaine
Dan Donegan
Joe Perry
Maybe Tommy Shaw

[Soap]

In no particular order because they all are great players in their own right.

Rhoads - Only two albums but wow what he gave us.
EVH - Innovator and one of the best rock n roll guitarist to this day.
Lynch - Incredible
Mustaine - Still love to hear him play those metal riffs.
Gilbert - Truly gifted. Nothing he can't play.
Vai - innovator and a little ahead of what others are doing and many times misunderstood.
SRV - Live version of Tin Pan Alley - gives me chills and makes me smile every time.
Hendrix - nuff said. Just his name.
Buckingham - Underated but imo outstanding.
Lifeson - same as Buckingham.

I could easily go on because there's so many but I'll call it there for now.

[Cliff]

Top four for me are
EVH
Paige
Rhoads
Santana
The fifth changes depending on mood, but I'd probably put Joe Pass there at the moment.

Was a huge priest fan having been 13 or so years old when screaming for vengeance came out. Glenn is just amazing, master of so many techniques, from the vintage 70s slower vibey mellow stuff to the wicked sweeps on painkiller.

Hard to pick only 5.


Akira Takasaki
Andy La Rocque
David Gilmour
Eddie Van Halen
Warren DeMartini

[ralph]

Five of my favorites, in no particular order:

Andreas Kisser
Allen West
Jeff Hanneman
Jesse Pintado
Darrell Abbott

and would have Dan Spitz in there if it was 6, Ive seen Anthrax with and without him, made a big difference when he was there

[Snoogans]

Toughie, but here goes....

Yngwie
Pablo Gilberto
Christophe Godin
EVH
Vernon Reid

This will probably be different tomorrow...
