i dont follow who the guitarists are...its the band as a whole that I am interested in...

Currently my fave has to be Greenday, but will have to wait till Friday to see if that is gonna change....cos on Friday I will pick up a copy of Death Magnetic...A new Metallica album has to be the highlight of the week!

For rock with a capital "R" it has to be the guys from Airbourne.

[bomma]

for speed, would have to go to petrucci from dream theatre

for class, would have to be jimmy hendrix

for style (coming a very close first, just beating Jimmy) would have to be Slash

for creativity, would have to be Kurt Cobain

[James Deuce]

For metal with a capital "M" I like this.

[Trumpess]

Can I jump in and say ..... no one plays a guitar better than David Gilmour. That guy sends shivers up and down my spine.
Then a very close second woulld have to be Jimmy Page!
Everyone else would rate 3rd place.

[Number One]

TOM MORELLO.....

[R6_kid:Me]

The two guitarists from Dragonforce... if not just for comical relief

[bomma]

Agreed always rated both of them very highly.


However my pick for favourite virtuoso is Joe Satriani.

[avgas]

i have to pick one?
I'm a fan of the following:
- James Iha
- NIN....you know what i mean, not live
- Billy Howerdel
- Mr Satriani (sp?)
- Mr Hendrix
......and a few more that can't come to mind right now

Kirk Hammet - Metallica
Tom Morello - Rage against the machine
Brian May - Queen

Roger Daltrey - The Who
Jim Ward & Omar Rodríguez-López - At The Drive-in (now Sparta and The Mars Volta)
