xpirex:

John Williams and Julian Bream as well..way t0o stiff and arid for me

I like williams but he puts out some shite sometimes. Bream....well....some of his recordings are really good but damn...his tone sucks sometimes. David Russell! Now there is a madman!!! You want to hear some serious classical guitar he's your man. Met him and saw him in concert. WOOO!!! What a show. He opend with Invocation and Dance by Rodrigo. If you know the piece, then you know this is one hefty piece of music.

anyway, sorry for getting off track. So, on with the show.

~Binary is best~

damn.. who made that list.. duh..
my top guitarists are

1) Joe Satriani :
I love to play his shit.. its amasing.
His compositions feel like you are singing with the guitar.
but at the same time its complex and fast. He is my master..

2) Chuck Schuldiner (Death):
This guy in my opinion created Death Metal. If not so then he did set the
standard as to what death metal should be. His riffs where simple but
perfect ( specially for the drum gods that played with him ). His lirycs where perfect.
( WHERE COMPLEX TURNS TO SIMPLICITY.. ) R.I.P Chuck..
ps.. if you play drums and want to become a master.. learn 1 or 2 songs from death..

3) Malmstein:
Feel like breaking your figers with some neo-classical arpegios from hell?

4) John Petrucci: very good technical talent. solid player. good
style mix. Some very amazing solos.

5) Steve vai: Everyone thinks he is the greatest player but me..
I think he has some great skills but mixed with very bad composition
and very exagerated effects. His songs just sound like a big
showoff of techniche and lack "feeling". I can play his shit with
my eyes closed.. of course it wont sound the same because of all the
friking effects he uses.. and im not gonna spend 100 gran on effect modules..
end gripe... Ok.. overall he is a very good player.. I saw him play at the G3
consert.. of course Joe Satriani ROCKED THE BOAT.

6 ) Andres Segovia + John Williams:
( Masters of classical guitar.. There is nothing better than making
a guitar sound like you are playing 5 guitars at the same time hehe )



weeee....

and where is richie sambora? I can't find him... one of the best for me
and i agree with mas:
my personal #1 would be john frusciante of red hot chili peppers

nobody mentioned Randy Rhodes?
