(1)Yngwie Malmsteen - "Marching Out" is his best work!
(2)Adrian Smith & Dave Murray - Everything!

(4)Eric Johnson - "Ah Viva Musicom"
(5)Chris Broderick - Jag Panzer Guitarist, One of the Best new Guitarist in Metal out there right now! Who better to replace the Awesome Joey Tafola!
(6)Jeff Loomis - very Modern & technical shredder! Anything he does in Nevermore Rules! I wish he would put out an instrumental CD!
(7)Joe Satriani - "Surfing With The Alien" & The "Seltitled" 95' Release
(8)Jason Becker - "Perpetual Burn" cannot be topped! One of The best Instrumental releases ever! & also Marty Friedman Kicks Ass on this as well!
(9)Chuck Shuldiner - Every Riff & Solo Chuck unleashed on us came from the Heart & Kicked major Ass! Melody & Brutality combined! Your are Truly Missed!
(10) George Lynch - "Tooth & Nail" & also the Godly Instrumental 'Mr Scary' from "Back For The Attack" & also his killer Guest Lead Guitar work on Tony Macalpine's "Maxium Security" Instrumental album

[SupersonicRobotic]

for death metal...
Bill Steer and James Murphy probably write the most melodic flared and sickest solos ive ever heard. Steer's solos on heartwork and on pedigree butchery (especially where he goes to slow motion jack off picking right in the middle of it... holy shit) make me want to puke.
