This was also the first video i clicked when i was checking him out,and i'm glad i did! I used to see him on Ibanez catalog with his signature guitar,and never knew who he was and the kind of music he plays. So one day,i searched him on youtube and came across this vid. I was hooked then and he's one of my fav guitarist right now! Not only he's a great player,he's also a very down to earth guy.

Yeah so many great but obvious choices... One glaringly huge oversight IMO is
Pete Thorn
If you're not a fan of Pete's, then you don't like great guitar players! Not only is he a cool, totally approachable sort of fellow, he NEVER misses! He writes and plays his own excellent licks (mostly), and is theoretically and technically spot on... way under-rated!

these are in no order they all had influence on me over time and i wont judge them on imperfections they may have in their personality (we all have them)
I base my list upon a mixture of technique, AND more importantly, songwriting. You can be a god at playing your guitar, but if you can`t compose a great song you`re nothing IMO.
- John Petrucci
- Toni Iommi
- Devin Townsend
- Gregor Mackintosh
- James Hetfield
- Billy Duffy
- Jon Nödtveidt
