Phrasing...favorite players?

[NickLayton]

Romeo is excellent as well! His solo album, called The Dark Chapter, can be found at the Guitar9 site(sorry don't have the link).

Linstruth is cool too...I like how she uses the vibrato bar.

Vinnie Moore, Marty Friedman, Michael Romeo are among my top favorites for phrasing.


Mike.

Vinnie Moore is bad ass!

My favourites are:

Greg Howe: Just go hear this guy play La Villa Strangiato and you'll see what I'm talking about.
Allan Holdsworth: At times, it sounds almost like a synth.
Dimebag Darrel: In a class by himself. Mind blowing. Not just his shredding, but his rhythm is a rock wall of power.
Martin Taylor: The cleanest of the clean. Listening to him play solo is like meditation.

Yeah, Holdsworth's legato approach really gives him a unique sound and tonal quality.
