Who is your favorite guitarist?

[Dead Planet]

I did a search and didn't find this thread but that doesn't mean it hasn't been done before in some form or other. Anyway it doesn't make sense to list them, just pick your favorite......

 

Mine is Victor Smolski of Rage.....

Without hesitation or question, as far as pure emotion, Jimi Hendrix. The riffmaster general is Tommi Iommi. But I'll always have a soft spot for Tony MacAlpine. Had the pleasure of meeting him once and he was truly a nice guy. Great guitar player as well.

[Jez]

Steve Lukather

[Metal T]

Gee...i don't know-Sorry Mr.Dead Planet your question is TOO hard to answer.

[edwithmj]

Joey Allen from Warrant. ALWAYS comes out with great solos. Always

[Nick C]

Joe Perry

[shamus]

Extremely tough question but off the top of my head I go with Nuno.

[Dante]

Hi people!

I'm on vacation and if my girlfriend catches me typing, I'm dead, but I had to say something here.

The first time I was blown away by a solo was George Lynch, so I'll go with him. It's something we never forget.

If we were talking "team work", that would be Paul Gilbert and Bruce Boillet in Racer X! That would be a good topic too...

Be back next week, everyone take care! Don't drink too much, everyone arriving after you need to drink too!
