At first I got motivated into guitar by guitarist like Malmsteen, Laiho, Becker, etc.

But what playing really got into me, tearing me all inside, are solo's and playing by Dan Mongrain from MARTYR and Michael Romeo from SYMPHONY X.

I can't find any video of quality of Martyr so I'll just link one of their song. Listen to the awesome legato and ''river flow'' playing of this. Solo at 3:05.





Solo at 4:18

Wow i've never heard of Kottke before. Thanks! He's good. And what mrgerry posted

My favourite is Juan Carlos Allende (Nylon guitarist). I only have his mp3s. Can't find any of his videos on youtube

I thought Andy Mckee would be mentioned, though he is kinda repetitive, a lot of people never seen a guitar played like this before, with all the drumming and stuff.

Please send me a PM of any song you like that I most probably never heard of! I am looking for people to chat about writing and producing music | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noD-bsOcxuU |

Guthrie Govan is the most technically proficient and musically capable guitarist I have ever seen or met.

Watch for the lick (lovingly referred to as "that lick" by Govan fans at around 1:30 - 1:40). You'll know it when you see/hear it.


And here he is, playing in the style of a wad of different famous guitarists:

Peter Green. He was the guitarist who took Claptons place in John Mayell's Bluesbreakers and founded fleetwood mac (who became a pussy chick band after he left). His style is so subtle and his tone was perfect . Much of Santanas sound was inspired by him and B.B King said "he's the only white guy to ever make me sweat".

perfect example of his tone.( this is where santana got his style and the name for his comeback album)


green manalishi (later covered by Judas Priest. Also one of the first songs to do that muted E string thing that became so popular)


albatross (inspiration for the beatles "sun king")

i could go on and on but this post is getting a bit lengthy so enjoy.

Buckethead is my favorite guitarist.

He plays so many different styles, from psychedelic, to electronica, to shred metal, to funk, to hard rock, to just acoustic relaxing stuff. I think there is so much emotion and thought in his songs. The guy is a great great player, and I think get's put into the shred category way more than he should be.
