Alright, Let's Do It! Your 3 Favorite Guitarists Are...

[spawnofthesith]

I cant really do these sorts of things, but something along the lines of

Jerry Garcia
Matt Pike
Jesper Stromblad

 

[HotRats]

This is difficult....I'm not really into guitar heroes, anyway, in alphabetical order they might be
David Gilmour, Jimmy Page, Frank Zappa.

 

[Whizzinby]

Billy Corgan
Alex Lifeson
Antoine Dufour

 

[Steinmetzify]

Dime
Kirk Windstein
Gilmour

 

[Dougstapp]

Paul Gilbert
EVH
then there is a GIANT tie for third place with a ton of players who admire and have stolen from.

 

[JerEvil]

Ace Frehley
Yngwie
Andy LaRocque

 

[primeholy]

Slash
Gilmore
Ian Thornley

I don’t really think about it very often. When I was younger
Randy Rhoads
EVH
SRV

 

[fretworn]

Impossiblé!

Your top 3 colors? Which shade? lol

 

[GTR37]

EVH was a big one
Matthias Jabs
George Lynch

 

[mbenigni]

EVH was a big one
Matthias Jabs
George Lynch

Matthias is very high on my list, and Uli before him. Two very different guitarists, both perfect in their own ways.

 

[paisleywookiee]

Easy.

Satch
Vai
Nuno

 

[Stone]

Good lord, I have about 20 meta players 3 is way hard
but
id have to say

EVH
Joe Satriani
Frank Marino

 

[Mooselake]

Lifeson, SRV, and Andy Timmons at this juncture.

EVH is right there depending on the day.

 

[Warmart]

Alex Lifeson
Randy Rhoads
James Hetfield

Honorable Mention:
Marty Friedman
Dave Mustaine
Will Adler

But don't ask me next week lol.

 

[jellodog]

Mark Speer
Jim Thomas
80s era Johnny Marr

 

[fretworn]

Well, I’ll add in Leo Kottke, Pat Metheny, Alex Lifeson.


Way too many to limit it. I’m doing a bunch of Satriani tunes right now and I just love his note/timing choices.

 

[Fireproof]

Ahh - Leo Kottke. A master.

 

[fretworn]

Ahh - Leo Kottke. A master.

I even truly like his singing… Took about 20 years lol



I had an opportunity to meet and work closely with Monty Novotny ( of NBN fame), who built a guitar for Leo.

Monty and I went to the Boulder theater in 1981 to see him play. Monty passed at age 42 a few years later from the lacquer spray (cancer). An $80k 12 string doubled overnight.


Love this album:

 

[DrewJD82]

Two are easy, but the third pick could rotate a whole bunch of guys.

Gilmour
Vai
Cantrell/Dimebag (IDGAF)

 

[la szum]

Tim Henson
Rhett Shull
Lil Wayne
