Big fan of the man in the bucket. Also Paul Gilbert, Matt Heafy, and the duo of Pig Kilpatrick and Jeff Ling are honorable mentions.

As much as Phil Collen is a better technician at playing, I do prefer Steve Clark.


And probably Steve's best piece is Switch 625. Endless riffs.

Win. That's all that matters. Win. Nobody likes to lose.

I was just wondering who is your favorite/who do you think is the most influential guitarist in your life?
Personally my guitar hero is hands down: Stevie Ray Vaughan



Amen brother

Whenever I jam it always comes out like some space blues mixture between Stevie and Gilmour.
I also much love Jerry Garcia but made a point of not copying his licks / style as id love to keep him as a guitar
god in my mind


I bought a pack of cigarettes for $20, What have you done for your country today?

There's not enough Slash in this thread. November Rain has some of the most awesome, moving guitar solos ever written -- the ending being particularly epic. There are too many epic riffs from GnR, Velvet Revolver, and Slash's solo work to count and name here that everyone knows. Nighttrain is probably my favorite of these.

Best of all, Slash is still writing new stuff. His newest album, Apocalyptic Love, is very, very good, and the kind of rock that just isn't made much anymore. Go buy it.



Apocalyptic Love (the riff at 0:17 is so sweet)

Other songs to check out are Anastasia and Not for Me (neither of which I can find on youtube [at least the album versions]).

EDIT: Here's an acoustic version of Not for Me, but it's not as good as the album version because Myles wimps out on the vocals at the end.

I understand its guitar players but this bass player is freaking greatness :D
Here's the song that's from. "Eat 'em and Smile" is a legendary album. It combined Sheehan with Steve Vai and ends up being absolutely amazing. Plus the cover art is neat. I absolutely adore all of Roth's solo stuff he did with Vai and Sheehan.


My favourite guitar player will always be Jason Becker, but my favourite instrumental will always be Scarified. Such a sweet song. The sound quality is garbage but it's the only live version that's remotely near the speed of the recorded version. Gilbert seems to play it slower now.

As a metal fan, I'd have to cast my vote for Dean Herrera and AJ Minette of The Human Abstract:


And of course, their Moonlight Sonata cover:
