*sigh* It's great to know we've got some guitar players on this board! Haha, anyway...it's VERY hard to narrow my scopes down to a few guitarists, but here it goes!
1. John Petrucci - This guy is a monster. If you've never heard of his band, Dream Theater, I suggest you check them out. Fantastic stuff across the board!
2. Joe Satriani - If I've ever heard a guitar speak, it's come at the hands of this man. Amazingly fluid with an overall rockin' sound!
3. Steve Vai - The epitome of a rock star. This guy is seriously wild, amazingly innovative!
4. Eric Johnson - This guy plays a very interesting style of music. I'm inclined to call it jazz fusion. An excellent player, very much a perfectionist. Has singing abilities, too. His voice is almost angelic.
5. Gary Hoey - This guy does everything, from Christmas music to surf rock. Very capable, very talented.
Other noteworthies: Randy Rhoads, Eric Clapton, Jonny Lang, John Mayer, Zakk Wylde, Jimi Hendrix, Dimebag Darrell (R.I.P.), Jerry Cantrell, Ty Tabor, Al Di Meola, Billy Gibbons, Jimmy Page, Kirk Hammett, Slash, David Gilmour, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Michael Romeo, Robert Cray, Eddie Van Halen...
I think that's enough for now

. Check 'em all out!
