ADZ-180 0 Posted October 12, 2008 my choice would be between vai and malmsteen vai for his technical ability and malmsteen for his classical crazy speed style too hard to judge for me,love em both Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marko 1 Posted October 12, 2008 yeh i just watched a few malmsteen clips on youtube and hes crazy fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spazo 41 Posted October 12, 2008 Mal is a wanker... Vai loves himself too much... Petrucci plays for dream theater... So I'll go for either Paul Gilbert or Satriani. But them I'm just a drummer lol I'll throw in Greg howe/Tony Macalpine for arguments sake. Just to prove he can play fast licks and tap I'll throw this in... I love this guy. He's so fluid...

elmrc13b 1 Posted October 12, 2008 hendrix is the most influencial and best overall imo micheal angelo batio is the fastest kirk hammett may be the best metal guitarist stevie ray vaughn probably the best blues ect lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldMansCar 9 Posted October 12, 2008 Jeff Beck or Paul Kossoff Kossoff just because its nice to listen too, not technical or anything, just nice btw i have no idea about playing guitar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tiger_s13 0 Posted October 12, 2008 kirk hammett may be the best metal guitarist *bows down to kirk* He's my fav. Maybe not the best in the world, but he is my fav, and i like his attitude. When our parents were our age, Angus from ACDC would had to of been 1 of the best in the world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djhatzigiannis 0 Posted October 12, 2008 hendrix is up there for me....most under appreciated would have to be john mayer hes awesome but i guess lazy as his songs aint that complicated..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marko 1 Posted October 12, 2008 hendrix is the most influencial and best overall imo micheal angelo batio is the fastest kirk hammett may be the best metal guitarist stevie ray vaughn probably the best blues ect lol yeh but that michael angelo's style isnt the greatest. all of his notes are next to eachother on the fretboard so it makes it easier to be fast, if u look at the way satrianni, gilbert and vai solo its more technical and theres massive pinky stretches at full speed which is heaps hard.

Pointless dribbler 11 Posted October 12, 2008 I do love the late great Dimebag. Jason becker, marty friedman an yngwie are all favourites of mine. Some of my fav yngwie here. Lawson rollins is also impressive, to say the least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bennybear 3 Posted October 12, 2008 Vai = Coked out maniac, does not play well with others. Satch = Busted using pre-recorded solos live on stage, had it rigged up to a pad that the drummer accidentally whacked half way through the chorus JP = Better but hasn't done anything new in 20+ years of Dream Theater. Paul Gilbert = win win win win win win win win win win win. Yngwie = awesome for originality (scalloped fret board, massive legato runs etc) but no one likes a pre-madonna. Other = Jeff Beck, SRV, Hendrix, Clapton, Eric Johnson, Sarah Jory (pedal lapsteel) SRV for the win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pappas99 4 Posted October 13, 2008 hendrix is the most influencial and best overall imo stevie ray vaughn probably the best blues ect lol SRV for the win. agreed, for me its definately stevie ray vaughan the man is a legend, and his guitar work is full of feeling and emotion, rather than just lightning fast licks check out this live version of 'lenny', my fav guitar song and in my oppinion one of the greatest guitar songs of all time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
