2 - John Petrucci
3 - Joe Satriani
4 - Yngwie Malmsteen
5 - Alexi Laiho

 

[BurningAngel]

All Iron Maiden guitarrists... Ill think that if you are fast guitarrist that doensnt always mean that you are good guitarrist.. And I dont mean alexi or ale are not good... But if you are good youll have to also play slowly...

 

[EagleFlyFree]

i don't know that much about guitarrists, i'm not even one myself so what would i know... anyway the ones i regard the most are Paul Gilbert, Alexi, Tipton and Downing, Loureiro and Bittencourt...

from those the best is clearly Gilbert... then all of them are freaking amazing...

edit: some more: Claudio Marciello (argentinian) and Roope! don't forget about our good friend Roope

 

[Suatana]

Vai, Satriani, Petrucci & Romeo are in my worship list at the moment.
