favorite guitarist and why

Algo Fonix said:
John Petrucci for me, basically he's always throwing something crazy technical out with each track you hear him play, and he plays it all almost perfectly live. It's really amazing... that and he's a super nice guy.

I'll have to agree with Algo Fonix about John Petrucci. Just... phenomenal.

My 2nd pick woild be either Yngwie Malmsteen or Steve Vai. They are such experts, seems like their fingers just fly through the frets at every song! =D

Guthrie Govan // Steve Vai When I'm in the mood for ... ''Soft Guitar'' Lol But I'd have to Say KillrBuckeye(youtube) His Covers are awesome ... :p And the best of all times even tough I think there is no way to tell which is the best guitarist... I think its probably Michael Romeo From Symphony X. Also , Type Mr.Rubber Finger On youtube he's my guitar teacher , he's damn good.

(Hey you guys know the band Parkway Drive? :p They are awesome check them out ! )
 
For me, this is quite simply Synyster Gates of Avenged Sevenfold. His solos are simply amazing.
"Eternal Rest", "Second Heartbeat", "And All Things Will End", "M.I.A.", "Seize the Day", "Strength of the World", "Afterlife", "Dear God", "Lost", "Girl I Know"... they're all amazing!
And his live solos.

Honorable mentions:
Jack White
Billy Corgan
Jade Puget
Dimebag Darrell
Kirk Hammet
The Edge
and Claudio Sanchez/Travis Stever

Can't just pick one so i'll list two.

David Gilmour - He plays with more feeling than every other guitarist i've seen combined, and has fun doing it. Been listening to Have a Cigar lately. Great solo.

Buckethead - The master of avant-garde shred. There are some really great insane shredding things he does (I recommend Soothsayer and Lurker at the Threshold Pt2) but also soulful slower pieces without much shred (I recommend Padmasana and Too Many Humans).

Herman Li from DragonForce for hopefully extremely obvious reasons.

The fact that I've absolutely never heard of any of the above people proves how awesome I think Herman is.

What, for being amazingly talented at recording something slowly and speeding it up?

Some of my friends saw Dragonforce live. Awful. Play 1/8th of the notes. Besides, there's no technique in what they do. Through The Fire And The Flames is all E chords.
 
Hmm. Its a tough one, as far as the guys go, Slash + Angus Young + Steve Vai. All incredible for their skills and other reasons for each.
Orianthi is by far the most skillful female guitarist though, and possibly my favourite.

I can't pick just one, so here's a list:
Jacqueline Mannering
Zakk Wylde
Tom Morello
Kirk Hammet
George Harrison
Peter Frampton
Matt Bellamy
 
Dimebag Darrel
Dave Mustaine
Marty Friedman
Jimi Hendrix
Eric Clapton
Buckethead
Brian May
George Harrison
Eddie Van Halen

Etc. etc.
