this is a tough question, who is my favorite guitarist, as in, music i listen to, or who blows me away with his technical abilities?

jimji hendirx or jimmy page are my favorite as far as "listening" music is concerned.
yngwie malmsteen absloutley blows me away with his ability, but its almost worthless. id never buy a cd from him, or burn his music to a cd.

Lets add Dave Murray and Adrian Smith (+Steve Harris) of Iron Maiden. Had to add Steve, he supports like a rythem guitarist. John

I watched one. That is first time I have seen that style of playing, not bad. While he is playing 2, EVH's one sounds like 2.

Rob Marcello

That is pretty dam bad ass.

I saw Tracii Guns play in an intimate setting. Never seen another pro up close like that.

However, I'd probably pick as my favorite a guy who looks and acts like him (uncomplimentary) and has a much longer resume: Neal Schon.

Schon is bad for sure.

**clovenhooves** · 07-23-2009, 08:21 PM

Bad as a guitarist? Bad in the Michael Jackson way? Bad as a person?

Rusty Cooley... considered in the top 18 for fastest guitarist.

very clean with a great sense of feel.. great instructor too

his band metal Outworld... singer left after their first CD. Now Rusty is teamed up and putting together a new band with Derek former keyboardist of Dream theater.

jamming on 8 string guitars!

**yellowv** · 07-24-2009, 09:39 AM

Rusty is amazing technically, but I find his stuff repetitive and boring. IMO he is a guy full of tons of training and technical prowess that writes very uninteresting and soulless compositions.

thats what is awesome about music...

one person hears and feels something sterile and boring, while another person can connect with it......
