[CubanSucks]

gui ude27 tbh

[Cant_Be_Faded]

skwissgarr and toki are good guitarists too

[CubanSucks]

meh, Toki would be nowhere without Skwissgarr. Still a really nice guy though

[Cant_Be_Faded]

lol
Toki's underrated he just needs to grow a scrot

He plays all of Skiwssgar's guitar parts in the Deathklok cover band!

What's really ing crazy is that I like Steve Vai more than Joe Satriani these days. Funny how our tastes change with age.

Vai has always been better than Satriani anyways.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

faster doesn't always mean better.

[dirk4mvp]

okay?

I could care less about fast, tbh.

I think Jay is underrated.

[CubanSucks]

lol
Toki's underrated he just needs to grow a scrot

are you saying Toki's a pussy?



the look on Murderface's face. Storming over to confront Toki and then sees this

Toki: "What the do you want, mother er!?"

Murderface: "Uh, hey bro, whats up?"

Paul Waggoner from BTBAM is easily mine. Guy can play pretty much any style around, which is not what most people think when they think of metal guitar players.

I don't really have a fav guitar player but I've been checking out a lot of Beck lately. That dude can play. His Ronnie Scott vid is nothing short of awesome.

[TheManFromAcme]

One of my personal favs right under SRV.......

[Winehole23]

Who is the guitarist that used to play with Billy Idol? He was a shredder.

Stevie Stevens. Is a beast.

[Winehole23]

What!! Don't like Carlos Santana!?!?!?!?!?
He has probably one of the most recognizable guitar tones in the world.

Love Santana, but Peter Green blew him away. Tone on that '59 Gibson is sick.

[admiralsnackbar]

Not to diminish his playing in the least, but I remember reading a guitar mag in HS in which they said that when Gibson took apart Green's Les Paul to do a "signature" reissue, they discovered it had an improperly soldered connection that knocked his signal out of phase ever so slightly to help give him that immediately recognizable sound.

Throwing this one up just because it has a great off-kilter solo, and because of the people on the stage that night made an oddly good group: Kevin Ayers, John Cale, Nico, Mike Oldfield, and Brian Eno.

[Greg Oden]

not my favorite but close. hate that he turned into a weebo.
