Favorite guitarists?

[Ahkei]

Lots of popular guitarists don't know how to read music or know anything about scales.

Though I do know a few scales.

Claudio Sanchez of Coheed and Cambria. Now only is he a good guitarist, but an awesome writer.

dave mustaine and marty friedman. both great riffers and soloists. yngwie malmsteen for his technique and cool songs. joe haley from psycroptic for being so bloody fast.

Joe Haley!!!!!!!!!!!! He's great

Reps for liking Psycroptic

I would have to go with Hendrix, Clampton, Steve Vai, and Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Stevie Ray Vaughn is a pimp!

Slash =D this guy is the reason of why i want to be a guitarist

[thx4allthefish]

want to listen some unique guitar sound?,
try "and your bird can sing" by the beatles,(ha@people-who-thinks-george-
couldn't-play-complex-and-fast-stuff),from the "Revolver" album,
or "getting better" from the "Sgt Pepper's lonely hearts club band" album,nothing
out of the ordinary there,just some chord-smashing,but the guitar sounds like
if the strings were made of glass,(to quote a local musician,and I totally agree,
when I heard him saying that I was like "THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I FELT ALL THIS
TIME BUT I NEVER COULD PUT TO WORDS!").

don't worry,I'm used to metal-people and modern-guitarists-people laughing at me
when I say "The Beatles".

I'm really into Japanese rock's/Indies/VK and of cours Japan has lot's of great band's out there, here are my favorite guitarist's
Dir En Grey:Kaoru and Die both play guitar, Toshiya bass player.
I use to listen to American alternative, such as Blink-182 and Fool Fighter but all of their song's are lame, but I still do like the solo and riff's from the late band Aerosmith, and Van Halen.

Well I didn't read this whole therad so these may have been said, but Randy Rhodes (Ozzy's guitarist who died) was great, as well as Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) playing his guitar with a violin bow...most excellently creative.

I don't listen to much rock, but Jimi Hendrix gets my vote.
