[yourdeadgroom]

In terms of my top-X-favourite:

Chuck Schuldiner
Anders Nystrom (Katatonia, Diabolical Masquerade)
X-Botteri (In The Woods...)
Danny Cavanagh (Anathema)

In terms of other guitarists that I dig:

Yngwie
Marty Friedman (his older stuff)
Satriani
Dave Murray
Adrian Smith
Joe Stump
That guy from Sentenced
Dan Swano (mainly for song writing ability)
Mike Amott
Al Di Meola (even though his last few albums have sucked...)

Oh, and some guy by the name of James Murphy....

 

[Chromatose]

James Murphy ! (of course)
John Petrucci
Steve Vai
Buckethead
Robert Fripp
John McLaughlin
Randy Rhoads
Criss Oliva
Slash

.. and many more, but those are the first ones that came to me.

I used to be really big into the shredders... but not so much anymore...

but then again I could've just cut back listening to Vai and Malmsteen for hours upon hours because I can't play nearly that fast

bobby koeble - death
jake e lee
the dude from FORCED ENTRY
john coltrane - not a guitar player but his lines weere the baddest

 

[yourdeadgroom]

Has Bobby Koeble been in any other bands? He only got like 1 solo on Symbolic (assuming this is the guy I'm thinking of), so it's kinda hard to judge him. All the other guitarists that have been in Death have had a chance to shine, so I was kinda wondering.

No order.

Chuck Schuldiner
Alex Skolnick
Paul Masvidal
Bobby Koelbe
Andy LaRocque

and of course James Murphy
