Who are your top 5 guitarists of all time? Mine are - 1. Dimebag Darrel Abot - Pantera (R.I.P.) 2. Michael Angelo Batio 3. Chris Broderick - Megadeth 4. Zakk Wylde - Black Label Society 5. Alex Laiho - Children of Bodom This is just my opinion, not a definitive list. What's yours? Also anyone who includes Herman Li, will be laughed at.
Jimmy page Jimi Hendrix Eric Clapton David Gilmour Carlos Santana if you don't know the bands, be ashamed.
Oli Herbert [All That Remains] Brian Welch [former-Korn] Jordan Whelan [Still Remains] Brian Mason [Sulaco/former BML] and someone else... believe it or not, Welch is actually very amazing. dont base it off his band work
Joe Satriani - the guy who taught EVERYONE. I saw him live, and I think that he is probably the best guitarist to ever have lived. Steve Vai - known as a solo artist and for playing the "impossible guitar parts" for Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. John Petrucci - solo artist and guitarist for Dream Theatre and Liquid Tension Experiment. Robert Fripp - multitalented man of insanity and founder of King Crimson. Yngwie J. Malmsteen - just look him up, seriously.
I dont know much guitarists but here are the one's that i know... Jimi Hendrix Eric Clapton Fall of Troy's Guitarist (sorry i dont know his name) well those are my top 3... im a drummer, not a guitarist.
1. Dimebag Darrell (Pantera - RIP 2. Kerry King (Slayer, more due to personality than guitar skills, although he is amazing) 3. Randy Rhoads (Ozzy Osbourne) 4. Eddie Van Halen (Van Halen, duh) 5. Foot guitar guy v
tough call before i post, i would say that your "i see there arent many hardcore metal fans on this site" comment.. is kind of stupid to say. i listen to a lot of metal, and although a great majority of metal guitarists are extrememly skilled at playing the guitar, i dont think that many of them have standout qualities that make them anywhere near the level of the likes of Hendrix, Clapton, etc... I cant even make a list, my mind started breaking when i tried to think. Yes, that happens a lot. I are dumb. Stevie Ray Vaughn though... u guys forgot him umm... yea.. i agree with a few others that were mentioned herman li is a very fast guitar player but that doesnt make him "the best" so i agree with that part too. hmm... i hate talking about music on this forum.
Don't forget Kirk Hammet. But you'd all probly expect that of me, so I will also throw in a vote for David Gilmour :0)
yea, ha-ha. i have already seen that. its a joke. i figured i'd let you know since you might not be smart enough to realize it.
I don't think so I don't understand why John Lennon is in your list. He is a god. No argument. But he didn't even play lead guitar in the band. Name a song where you're thinking: Wow, Lennon is really wailing on that guitar! The same could be said for Johnny Cash.
