Top 3 guitar players (Reply to this comment)
by santisurfer
1-Steve Vai:
He is the kind of god-like guitar player, you'll agree with me when you hear the solo he makes with Yngwie Malmsteem, he also can play 16 notes per second.
2-Eddie Van Halen:
Oh man, this guy rocks, his masterpiesces are Eruption and Panama, he plays 14 notes per second.
3-Kirk Hammett:
He plays lead guitar in metallica (my favorite band) he expresses so much with his solos that it almost seems as he could talk, scream and cry with his solos, his best works are Blackened, Hit the Lights,Disposable heroes and Fade to black, he plays 12 notes per second.

Thats funny, Gary Moore is my name. Although I go by Don because its my dads name as well. Thanks for the encouragement I will most likely be doing more music reviews soon.

Nice list (Reply to this comment)

I would have had to find some room in there somewhere for Gary Moore, but that's just me. Vini Reilly too. But again, that's just me.
Looks like this is your first music review? Feel free to write here more often!
Later!

I wanted the 10 best all round guitar players,
There are players like Steve Vai, Malmsteen, Marty Friedman (He's better than Chris Poland, he uses oriental scales alot) That arent on the list because while they are great there impact on music isnt as big. Also I knew I was going to screw up the spelling Iommi, what an odd last name.

Mistake. (Reply to this comment)
by lambchops
I think instead of "Tommy Lommi" you meant Tony Iommi.
Really. I'm serious :)
Otherwise, interesting list. I wouldn't have included many of the people you did, but I suppose that's why it's your list and not mine. Nice job.
Shelly.

run of the mill (Reply to this comment)

the guys u listed are all the usual suspects. But try the following players on for size, they're true guitar gods :)
Brett Garsed - Aussie fusion guitarist. Has a very fluid style and has nack for writing EXTREMELY melodic phrases. Big Sky, Undoing, Brothers, Friend or Foe and Drowning are all supurb cuts from his 2002 solo CD, Big Sky.
Chris Poland - Ex Megadeath guitarist. Check out his fusion band, Ohm *drool* Poland on guitar, Pagliari on six string fretless bass, and Kofi Baker on drums (son of Cream drummer, ginger Baker). Essential cuts - Bastille Day, Love Song, Came to Believe, Id.
Jeff Beck - His two most critically acclaimed albums are Blow by Blow and Wired. By far the best two cuts from BBB are Cause We've Ended as Lovers and Freeway Jam. Get ur grubby hands on them ASAP.
Al Di Meola - This guy has released an absolute ton of CD's. Most notable is his collaberation with fellow uber-guitarists John Mclaughlin and Paco De Lucia. I'm only just discovering him myself, so all I can suggest is to sample the following song - Grande Passion. This music is very hard to pigeon hole into any one genre. Just check it out :)
Alex Skolnick - Ex-Testament guitarist. His true love was improvisation so he left the band and re-educated himself in Jazz. His solo album takes classic hard rock tunes from the 70s and 80s by the likes of Kiss, Scorpions, Black Sabbath and others. He than rearranges as them improvised Jazz pieces. My fav cuts are War Pigs, No one like you, Goodbye to Romance and Dream on, but they're all as good as one another.
And of course there are the Jazz greats like John Mclaughlin, Pat Metheny, Joe Pass and John Scofield etc etc.
Also, there are the more mainstream instrumental guitarists like Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, but I'd recommend you to delve a little deeper than what these fellas have to offer.
Theres an absolute ton of killer guitarist out there. I could spend hours talking about them all, but the above listed are the ones I dig the most myself.
