Your Favourite Metal Guitarist

Agreed, Marty most notably. Add some Dime and Satch in there (even though he is more melodic/instrumental than strictly "metal").
Last but not least, Adrian Smith.

you cant go wrong with jason becker. the man is a genius. his teacher, marty friedman (old marty friedman) was an excellent guitarist too. they didnt need to play fast at all, although they could. they are the masters of phrasing. so if you havent heard cacophony, do it.

oh noes itz a opinionn
I don't like Cacophony at all, but Jason shredded all the fucking time. I've been learning Altitudes, but I cut out about a week ago, but that was just because I haven't had time to play. Learning altitudes has given me a little more appreciation for his licks.
I have the utmost respect for Jason's technique and talent, but prefer Marty's music/sense of melody/phrasing overall.
Shame about what happened, but it's good to hear that he's found a way to create music, still.

Allen is great. That album is a perfect indicator of a band who has potential brilliance but hasn't figured it out yet.
Hatebreeder
Pizzicato Heartstrings
Must all the greatest guitarists be measured by their extensive knowledge of music theory and shredding wankery? There are a good number of black metal guitarists who, through their minimalism, far outweigh many of metal's "greatest" guitarists. Give me Infernus over John Petrucci anyday.

I've always viewed Black Metal as more of a "mood music" for me. I would have a hard time sticking any Black Metal guys (that I know about at least) in one of my top guitarists lists. There are a few BM guys that can really play I'm sure, but you don't need to be an amazing guitarists to write good Black Metal songs. It's not the sort of genre that bases itself around guitars.

But then he'd have to listen to good music.
Seriously, think about shit before you recommend it.

I had to Wiki Chris Masochist to find out you were talking about "Gospel of the Horns". Sounds like interesting stuff, I'll check it out. I've never heard of the band but I believe I've heard of the man.
Zephyrus
Tyrants and Slaves
I'll take Oystein G. Brun and Ihsahn over most guitarists any day. It takes more than technical prowess to write good riffs.
