but i still think michael angelo will tear him up and also the guitarists for Dragon Force, alexi from children of bodom isn't far off either.

CobraChris08 said:MA is def. a faster and better player but how many guys shreding can you actually rock out to with a melody. IMO MA is just endless wanking.
eh, they are nothing impressive, if it's that melodic/harmonized stuff you like, bjorn gelotte and jesper stromblad from In Flames are definately something to listen to. :rolling:SSSNAKE03 said:if you want amazing guitar work, you have to check out Trivium...representing with my avatar :bowdown:

If someone came up to me and said, "It is possible that Steve Vai is the greatest guitar player ever." I would have a VERY difficult time disagreeing. Steve Vai is just on a other level. This is a great thread!!!!svt32v99 said:+1
Just listened to Dragon Force. They ****ing suck. That crap sounds like it came out of a gameboy. There is not an ounce of soul in that music. Yngwie's "Arps from Hell" is retarded too. I love Yngwie, the guy is a bad ass but he has become a mockery of himself. The video I originally posted was from when he was still in Alcatrazz with Grahm Bonnet. He had hardly any delay or any other effects in his setup. Clean, clear and just oozing with tone.
Checkout this Alcatrazz song with Vai playing lead. This shit is live too peeps. Vai is a pure showman. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcCy7AjdwpE
Y'know, I was honsetly impressed with John Mayer. I saw some special he did with Buddy Guy and my jaw dropped when I found out that John Mayer was putting it down....and it sounded good!!!! If he made a blues album, I'd buy it...but I agree that his "radio-pop" stuff is agonizing!LedVenom281 said:If we're talking about great guitarist today, then you have to mention John Mayer. Listen to his John Mayer Trio album called 'Try.' Personally, his pop stuff is for pussies, but his John Mayer Trio alubum is really good. If you like Classic Rock Blues then you'll like it.
