Hello, I am Thraxz. A dumbass.

The title of the thread is called, "10 Best Guitarists". Notice how other people have also mentioned some guitarists that have nothing to do with metal? Apparently, other people see it the same way I do. Now shut your trap, you Vegas whore. And no, no one wants to vist you.

of course, theres so many good stuff outside the metal world...

 

[Forbidden Crypts]

That's because he's a shit guitarist.

So much technique with so little to say... Nitro is proof of that

The dude from blink 182 and taylor hanson

no, I don't know. There are so many good guitarists it is hard to choose.

 

[Ratatosk]

Frank Zappa is a masterful composer and also has the worst guitar tone in the history of the world. He's not making it on my list.

Fuck you man he rules
Profanity you suck too

Fuck you man he rules

I love Frank Zappa a lot. I just can't listen to his guitar soloing. He knows what he's doing and has a good knowledge of the instrument, but the way he sounds is just horrible. His "spastic hammer-on/pulloff" style doesn't help that either.

Muhammed Suicmez

how could i forget him, Fermented Offal Discharge

 

[Barking Pumpkin]

I'll discuss my list today if you want.

 

[R.I.P.2]

Bill Steer and Paul Masvidal

 

[Kenneth R.]

I've noticed that most people are choosing metal guitarists. You guys should consider checking out other genres of music with guitarists, like Classical and Flamenco.

and not just list the fastest either.

[Barking Pumpkin]

It was a joke.

 

[Vital Remains]

Alan Holdsworth --Baddest man on the planet as of today
Lenny Breau-When he wasn't stoned out of his mind he was hot.
Andres Segovia-/Christopher Parkening
Wes Montgomery- /Kenny burrell/Charlie Christian.
Guthrie Govan- New dude from England. He has the widest style range.
Scott Henderson - You like SRV? This is SRV on acid. 5 times better IMHO
Michael Hedges- Turned the acoustic 6 string into a 20 peice orchestra
Django- Birelli Lagrene/Jimmi Rosenberg
Pat matheny- John McLaughlin/ DeMeiola/Brett Garsed
Vai- Watch him live and tell me he ain't one of the baddest men out there.
