Favorite Guitar Players

[Blinko]

and solos and such...

I love guitar and am sure many others do , so who are your favorites.

I'll start it off with this.

GARY MOORE - The Messiah Will Come Again (1990)

[ziznak]

Dave Mustaine, Mike Amott, Bill Steer, Scott Ian.... the guys in Kyuss... ummmm gimme a lil time and I'll think of some more

[Blinko]

always thought Metallica would have been much better off with Mustaine as opposed to Kirt Hammet, that guy just plain sucks bad...

Aside from the old standards {Hendrix, Clapton, et al}, I'll add Alvin Lee (10 Years After), Terry Kath (Chicago), Adrian Smith (Iron Maiden), and Marty Friedman (Megadeth).

ah shit I totally forgot about Marty!  Definitely better than Mustaine.  I also forgot to say Kim Thayil from Soundgarden and since you brought up Maiden we can't over look the talent that is Steve Harris... yeah i know he played bass but he wrote a ton of their stuff.  Since I just mentioned a bassist I have to also mention Les Claypool!! he's a bass god.

Yes! Steve Harris.     Iron Maiden is my favorite band of all time so I'm partial to those guys.   
Les Claypool is a freak.  He probabaly could play anything and play any style.  Speaking of bass guitar.....I think Mike Watt of the Minutemen/FireHose is a beast.
