Favorite Guitar Gods

[JimBob]

Eh? At which alter do you pray. Personally I love Steve Vai. What he does with a guitar makes me cry with envy.

[Reverend Joe]

Easy.


Is there truly another? Can there be? I say...

...maybe. But it'll be tough.

[Soulforged]

I prefer some of the news-> John Petrucci, from Dream Theater.
Of course J. Hendrix, Santana or Clapton never died...

[Clearchus]

I prefer some of the news-> John Petrucci, from Dream Theater.

Hey, we think alike. This is the first name to come to my mind.

[AggonyDuck]

Well many of the great guitarists are already mentioned, but Nick McCabe is my personal fav. He can literally create a wall of sound with his guitar.
(he was the guitarist of the Verve, a british band from the 90's)

[GoreBag]

I hate guitar gods...I'll have to go with Chuck Schuldiner.

[Just A Girl]

i like the old Dave gilmore.
but he can get a bit OTT.
So roger His BEST FREIND is probably my fave

[Taurus]

Jimi Hendrix

[Beirut]

For the Jimi Hendrix fans amongst us.



Great footage of his whole Woodstock performance, not just the ten minutes shown in the Woodstock documentary. Lots of interviews, lots of extras, but most of all, lots of Jimi performing. It's a two DVD set, great sound and picture quality, comes in a nice box with some reading material, and only $15.

This is a must-have!

[Geoffrey S]

Hendrix and Page. From the modern gods I enjoyed Satriani's concert immensely, but the real gods are to be found a number of decades ago.

[Tricon]

Hank Marvin (Shadows)
Glen Tippton (Judas Priest)
Criss Oliva (R.I.P. Savatage)
