I must say that Ace Frehley and Eddie Van Halen inspired me as a child to pick up the guitar but my All Time Favorite Guirtarist is by Far Steve Stevens.. He is a truly great fucking guitarist..

SO TRUE...his guitar work on his more 'metal' albums before he "got the blues" is incredible, and you can hear his influence MASSIVELY in players like John Sykes, Vivian Campbell and Phil Collen of Def Leppard...hell, when they first gained prominence they were ALL playing some of his licks nearly VERBATUM.....that's also where Zakk Wylde got his signature low-string harmonic "pings" (as he calls them) from....whether he'd admit it or not....


For me, I'd have to say:
EVH
Rhoads
Lynch
Gary Moore (and the afforementioned former 'clones')
Hendrix
SRV
Page
and Jason Becker was nothing short of AMAZING in his prime...still blows my mind...I have this vid up on my MySpace page...I watch it every time I start thinking I'M hot shit....



And yeah, Steve Stevens rips too...

[binnie]

Favourites, in no particualr order:

EVH
Slash
Page
Beck
Jake E Lee
Dimebag Darrel
Michael Schenker
Randy Rhodes
SRV
Dave Mustaine
Angus Young
Tony Iommi (very underrated)

Hendrix goes without saying....


I also really like Nuno Bettencourts playing, it's just a shame that he was always in shit bands.....

And as far as rhythm playing goes - Hetfield

[Cato]

EVH is not my fave any longer.

my current top 3 are

1. Jeff Beck
2. Johnny Winter
3. Brian Setzer

I dislike heavy metal guitar players.

[Soul Reaper]

EVH
Mattias Eklundh
Jeff Beck
Robert Fripp
Mick Ronson
Pete Townsend

Yo, binnie, just to let ya know, Darrell's got another "L" in it. Also, Randy's last name's spelled RhoAds
