Favorite Guitarist?

[Neil4Speed]

Hey Guys,

I know everyone has one, just wondering who it is.

Mine is Lindsey Buckingham from Fleetwood Mac, he doesn't use a pick and sounds great, go figure. The central architect the 3rd best selling album of all time (rumours).

I also quite like the Edge from U2, nothing really special about him... I guess.

Go nuts everyone

[Illusionsir]

2 best guitar players ever hands down.


1. Michael Angelo
2. Yngwie Malmsteen


I guess it depends on what your after but for skill :drool:

[Ryan@DerdallDesigns]

[statick]

cobain had good lyrics, his guitar skills wernt bad, but not the best. kinda like bob marley in some respects.

[hockeybronx]

Hey Playa...

Definetely Slash.

Mainly back in the G N R days but his stuff with Velvet Revolver aint bad either.

it was favourit guitarist, not 'who is the most technically skilled' or 'who has the longest career' blah blah blah.

cobain introduced a new kind of music into the mainstream.

elvis wasnt an amazingly skilled guitarist either, neither was lennon, but they changed music completely.
