I think there's too many guitar wankers out there.
I generally don't like lead guitarists, unless they have rhythm play that makes up for it. Randy Rhoads and Uli Jon Roth (early Scorpions) are probably my favorite soloers.

I tend to appreciate rhytm guitarists a lot more, and my favorites are Josh Homme (Kyuss days), Rudolf Schenker (Scorpions, especially the early days), Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins), Jim Martin (Faith No More), Dave Mustaine (Megadeth), Robert Fripp (King Crimson), Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (The Mars Volta mainly).

And of course I have an immense appreciation for Hendrix, Blackmore, Page and Iommi.

Totally depends on my mood. As an overall statement though, I would probably have to say Michael Romeo.
I dont play Guitar Hero. I live it.

I'm a huge fan of Philip Sayce.
Probably the closest thing to SRV I've heard in my lifetime

edit;

gotta add in Jon Petrucci. So, so good.

Hi this is my first post ever on TL. Im sure most of you guys have seen this, but its relevant cause wtf... koreans dominating the guitar scene too??? (dominating is not a good choice of word.. but sc2 forum... i just wanted it to relate.. anywayyy)



oh and my favorite guitarists are satriani, hendrix, page, john frusciante, dimebag darrel, slash, jonh scofield... uhh well its difficult cause there are so many brilliant musicians in the universe and its kinda difficult to narrow it down to a few favorite ones.

Im a bass player and my favorite ones are Flea, John Paul Jones & Paul McCartney

I like a lot of guitarists with weird but fascinating styles such as:
Guthrie Govan
Steve Vai
Joe Satriani
Gustavo Guerra
Alexandre Therriene
MattRach
Halcyon
John Petrucci
Marco Sfogli
Jørn Viggo Lofstad from "Pagan's Mind" (his tone is absolutely incredible and he never does anything to compromise his flowing melody.
Bulb Misha Mansoor from Periphery (polyrythmic guitarist)
Animals as Leaders guitarist
That's all I can remember right now.
I am not the hotkey/reddit/help noobs jakatak.

This man is responsible for my love of bass, rock, and of course Jack Daniels. Not even close to the best technical bass player, but its his passion that enthralls me.

Michael Anthony

I give you, UltraBass


Edit: I'll add someone everyone needs to listen too, Jaco Pastorius. Unreal skill.

Above impeccable technical skill, I value beautifully phrased notes.. so I particularly enjoy David Gilmour, George Harrison, Brian May.. I like their stuff a lot... and stuff like that I guess... Jimi hendrix is really awesome too.. Can't really go wrong with his style..
i also really, really love Wes Montgomery... I loooove good jazz..

Nice stuff! Really good bass is seriously under appreciated. People don't understand what goes into writing a good bass line, and of course, playing it.

This vid got me hooked to this guy. He's my personal hero right now.
However when I first started playing guitar, it was Jimmy Page. He's still the greatest rock guitaritst of all time hands down in my opinion.
