Fatcatsplat Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Steve vi, dave gilmore.nearly forgot joe satriani. Satriani taught Steve vi and is possibly the best technical guitarist out there but for me it's not all about that Angus is not really technical but is the king of the riff he thinks of the worlds most memorable riffs David Coverdale once said about Steve vi his guitar solos are brilliant but you can't hum them, that says it all for me they have to be melodic someone like Gary Moore or Bernie marsdon I've seen Satriani on stage a couple of times - he is great. I like Yngwie Malmsteen a bit more. His neo-classical shredder style rock appeals to me. The are a few other lesser known ina similar genre such as Tony McAlpine. Loads of widdly widdly onanism with that lot. Guitar is about the riff, the riff and the riff - Again it's genre and style choices, but for me: Ritchie Blackmore Santana Tony Iommi Paul Weller Steve Craddock Kirk Hammett and Seasick Steve for getting a tune out of a biscuit tin with a bit of wood and a guitar string attached that really gets your toes tapping!!
