BigPleb
05.22.13 | Ye, Townsend is a boss.
He would've been NO 11, actually. |
tempest--
05.22.13 | Gary Holt riff king would be in my list too |
SitarHero
05.22.13 | What Lloyd said.
Mine would probable include, in no particular order:
Ty Tabor
Steven Wilson (along with Cantrell the gold standard in making great guitar music without having to be a Petrucci-level shredder, IMO)
Eddie Van Halen (so much misplaced hate for him)
Steve Lukather (best phrasing in the biz)
Marty Friedman
Slash (overrated, yes. But it's impossible to watch him play and NOT want to pick up a guitar)
Billy Howerdel
Baiju Dharmajan -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkgRuN3COII |
BigPleb
