[Ichiro]

i saw the drum thread, i think we as guitarisrt to start one talking about it.....

my vote goes to kirk hammett & van halen......

 

[moggie_54]

It would be the G3.. With joe satriani, Steve vai and Y.Malmsteen.. But lol.. There aren't a real band.. :smt021

 

[sepultura]

I'd choose Steve Morse and John Petrucci. Love their playing style.

 

[popeye]

Izzy! (and who says good guitarist must shred?)

 

[serialninja]

i'd probably say Dave Matthews, from the Dave Matthews Band.

 

[Newbie]

Joe Satriani

 

[gordonzz]

Kurt Cobain.

:lol: :x

 

[5stringedsoul]

i'd probably say Dave Matthews, from the Dave Matthews Band.

+1, not many guitarists can dance,scat,strum n sing at da same time, plus he has his "own" chords.

Yes, you are right, they are great... but they are not like some bands out there, they are somehow like solo guitarist....

i like steve morse too, he "wham" quite alot, as for john petrucci... he is a great guitarist but somehow or rather i don't like the way he wear his guitar, no offence though......

Tom "tone" delonge.

BB king ? i think his blues lines esp on his guitar are just so damned soulful .. ever heard sinner's prayer ?

 

[Mr_X]

i will go for Izzy Stradlin like Popeye and Skid Row's Scotti Hill.

 

[Viruz]

Slash-GnR
Kirk hammett-Metallica
wat?schenker-Scorpions
The two guitarists from Iron Maiden

Adrian Smith and Dave Murray. I'm surprised people remember Iron maiden here. Sorta thought that would have gone with my time, over 10 yrs ago. Alexander the great, and all that.

 

[Ichiro]

i almost forgot........ jimmy page also rockz.........

 

[Viruz]

Ain't no way....Iron Maidens r legends and still alive..still going strong for decades..

JimmyPage-Led Zepplin
John Frusciante-RHCP

 

[mero]

no one mentioned Paul Gilbert? :lol:

His picking style is fast and clean, and he can shred too

paul gilbert is indeed one of the best calibre in guitar industries..... but then again he is kind of a solo guitarist more then a band guitarist.....

 

[NoMiS]

i would say Zakk Wylde is a good band player...
