The Official Best Guitarist Thread (metal, punk, rock, genre)

Also.. Adam Dutkiewicz and Joel Stroetzel.

Their double guitar work is awesome! Especially on The Element of One and Rose of Sharyn (Killswitch Engage).

Favs for me are.
Tony Iommi
Glen Tipton
Ritchie Blackmore
Michael Schenker
Randy Rhoads
Gary Moore (earlier stuff)
Joe Satriani

Some here may not care for some of these, but as I stated they are only my favourites

Those are all great choices. Schenker, Tipton, and Moore hardly ever get good recognition. They deserve it big time. The others are great choices as well, I'm just not all that into Blackmore but his work is very good nonetheless.

I completely agree. Page is amazing and revolutionary. However, he was not the first to use the bow on the guitar. the idea was suggested to him by his guitar tech, who's father was a violinist as well as guitarist and had attempted to bow his guitar on a little-known album.

I don't know who the greatest might be, so might as well list my favorite ones:

David Gilmour
Slash
John Frusciante
Jonny Greenwood
Angus Young
Jimi Hendrix
Jeff Beck
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Jimmy Page
Mike McReady

These guitarists had the biggest influence on my style of guitar playing.
