Malcolm Young, underrated rhythm guitarist

[tight owl]

Dimebag Darrell for me

[dreamy star]

In order, must influential for me, Dave Gilmour, Frank Zappa, Dave Mustaine, Chuck Schuldiner, James Hetfield, Jeff Hanneman, EVH and I actually like a lot of old Green Day.

[tight zephyr]

why is no one talking about Marcus King?

[strange igloo]

Buckethead

[umbral maple]

It's got to be Kirk Hammett or Zach Huston

[untold sonnet]

kurt cobain

players like him put feel before technique

[storm furnace]

I really like how jakub zytecki plays

[solemn dagger]

Dimebag

[modern ruin]

I love Rob, he's one of the few guitar YouTubers that you could spot just by his playing style.

[tight zephyr]

Marcus king is insane. Had the pleasure of seeing him live a little while back. one of my favorite shows!

[warm otter]

Probably Richie Kotzen overall

but my biggest influence is probs Malmsteen

Underrated guy that nobody ever talks about is John Browne

Although hes more of a producer (even though he writes all the guitar bits in his songs)

[modern ruin]

Kevin parker is a good one too, but he's more psych rock. Prince is underrated as a guitarist

[night crane]

Changed my mind again, probably goes to John Gallagher of Dying Fetus, his riffs hook so well.

[bright zinc]

Chris Broderick

[dreamy star]

John Frusciante\

[lost aurora]

Yngwie

[hollow jacinth]

JD Simo and Sean Costello

[potent prism]

Jim Root

[plain briar]

Tosin abasi

[graceful tree]

rory gallagher, glenn tipton, jonny greenwood, east bay ray

[loud prairie]

Johnny Greenwood is pretty good. Does great composition work since he actually knows music theory really well.

[graceful tree]

yeah... tbh he's more of a "favourite musician" than favourite guitarist cuz he's worked with so many instruments

[loud prairie]

Yeah he's like a proper composer as well

[tawny peak]

I heard that he was the one doing all the strings arrangement for their songs

respect

[loud prairie]

Yeah he does. Has a solo career where he composed for films

[tawny peak]

Is he good as a guitarist ? or is he average

[loud prairie]

Not too familiar with his playing capability. By the sounds of it yeah he's good but I haven't heard him do anything amazing

[graceful tree]

listen to paranoid android

[loud prairie]

Yeah he plays pretty well. I mean, I was more thinking whether he is kind of like one of the super crazy good guitarist.

[clear basalt]

Buckethead gotta be my fav, inspired me to pick up guitar, tom morello gotta be my 2nd fav

Same thing for me, he changed the whole sound of the guitar. He was a really big inspiration for me.

[honest vigil]

Number 7 Mick Thompson

[dreamy star]

My favorite guitarist at the moment is Misha Mansoor. He comes up with some crazy riffs. One of the best is from Reptile, which took me ages to learn properly.

Josh Homme is pretty good as well.

I also think some of the shoegaze-y guitarists are good

Jonny Greenwood and Ed O'Brien have some good parts.

Jim Root also has a few really cool parts

like in vermillion

[cloud juniper]

[scarlet ocean]

Tony Iommi

[dreamy star]

Unpopular choice here, but Jun Senoue is likely my favorite.

His shredding, playing, and songs to me are just absolutely amazing and powerful. Here’s a clip of one: https://youtu.be/3gPBmDptqlQ

I may be biased because I’m a Sonic fan, but I think his guitar playing is very up to par with some of the best! Especially with Johnny Gioeli’s raspy vocals, it fits perfectly.

My favourite is a Portuguese guitarrist named Gonçalo Pereira...
Most of you probably never heard of him... It's been a while since he released new solo stuff, and he's not easy to come by on YouTube or Spotify... His albums are also nearly impossible to find nowadays, but I've got most of them, solo and others!
But he's most likely the one who "made" me buy a guitar 🙂

friedman

[fading dagger]

Not a fan of Megadeth but I like Rust In Peace just bc of those riffs and solos by Mustaine and Friedman

[radiant lark]

i like a lot of Megadeth stuff, marty and dave are probably one of my bigger influences

[dreamy star]

Bit of a local one, but Chino Singson of The Itchyworms
I love his work on the band as a lead guitarist like holy fuck

[tulip flume]

hendrix

[worthy sundial]

James Hatfield or Dave Ghrol

[vagrant orbit]

James is definitely one of, if not the best rhythm guitar player. I love his riffs so much.

His solo's aren't terrible either

[cosmic lotus]

eddie van halen

[vapid shell]

Guthrie govan. And Steve vai goats

[somber birch]

Eddie van halen or malmsteen

[bright summit]

Tom Bukovac, Dann Huff, Jack Pearson, Tim Pierce, (need to add Jimmy Herring. How can you forget Jimmy??)…. AND …. Audley Freed.

[cosmic lotus]

[ripe coral]

Kurt cobain or John frusciante

[queen salmon]

i have heard of zero of those people

[fading dagger]

You never heard of Kurt Cobain? 💀

[queen salmon]

oh oops lmao i skimmed over that name 💀

yes i have

[worthy sundial]

Have you ever heard of... Imagine Dragons?

[hushed sorrel]

Yeah, they suck

They're not just mid, they really suck

[merry plank]

Rivers Cuomo is chill

[gleaming bison]

awsten and geoff are from waterparks, josh is my friend, stephen is from skeletorus and seth and korey are from skillet

[cyan merlin]

chill nerd who still writes sick riffs

[pliant hatch]

mine has to be lil wayne

amazing solos

[merry plank]

Exactly

[hushed sorrel]

Me

[tulip flume]

Hes not my fav but im surprised not a lot of people are bringing him up:
Jeff beck

[hushed sorrel]

I like Cuomo too

Pretty much everything on the blue album is perfect for learning lead guitar too

[wide steeple]

Mick Tompson

[cyan merlin]

Fr, that's how I got into playing

[hushed sorrel]

I actually realized a few months ago that I'd essentially been practicing as a rhythm guitarist

Mostly because I equated lead guitar with hard guitar and avoided it

So my lead skills are actually not great, but Cuomo's solos and such are fairly simple and have been quite nice for figuring it out

[frigid forge]

Idk if anyone has said this yet but Marty Friedman

[bright summit]

Jeff Beck is arguably the best guitarist that ever lived…… but, and I’m speaking for me……I have to take him in doses. He’s super good but not always that easy to listen to. Kinda like Greg Koch.

I had to add Audley Freed to my original list. Can’t believe I forgot to put him. He’s a MONSTER.

[tulip flume]

Good point. He’s great but his style can be ear grating at times. Never liked when he obsessively used the whammy bar or his tone

[bright summit]

Yea he was unique for sure.

Some of my favorites:

• Buckethead is awesome for his sheer virtuosity and unusual performances
• Brian May is just great, especially the solos
• Leo Kottke plays really well and I've learned a lot through his songs
• Rivers Cuomo plays simple stuff very well, the solos aren't overdone at all
• Doc Watson basically invented a style of guitar playing
• Eddie Van Halen is one of the greatest guitarists of all time
• Jeff Beck for his unconventional style and fingerpicking
• Jimi Hendrix, because obviously
• Stevie Ray Vaughan for his aggressive style
• Mark Knopfler's riffs, licks and fingerstyle playing are awesome
• East Bay Ray of the Dead Kennedy's way of making simple music interesting
• Steve Vai for his sheer technical skill
• Tommy Emmanuel's interesting covers
• Matteo Mancuso, also for fingerpicking and some really clean playing
• David Gilmour's excellent soloing and songwriting skills
• Kirk Hammett for so many classic riffs and solos

For an old classic one, qi've always loved:
Ritchie Blackmore

And for someone who's playing I would not separate from his other qualities:
Johnny Walker (Soledad Brothers, Cut In the Hill Gang, Allseeing Eye)

That's a top5, I guess.

He's the best guitarist, known for staying in rythm on difficult passages and rythm changes. Also known for his overly difficult licks.

[proper sphinx]

call me basic, but kirk hammett
he's such a cutie pie and he wrote some banger riffs

[pliant tundra]

🤘 Spot on, @proper sphinx I don't get all the hate he gets nowadays. He did more with less technique wise, and brought more people to the guitar than many other guitarists combined.

Shawn. Lane. SOOOO INFLUENTIAL, many skilled and technical guitarists compliment shawn cuz he's just so fucking good. (Guthrie Govan, Andy Timmons, Eric Johnson, Steve vai, Buckethead, Paul Gilbert) he can implement so many ideas onto a guitar and his playing is just so natural. He can sight read music sheets, he can play jazz, he was classically trained, he can make his guitar sound like a mid-eastern singer, he can play super fast too, and he knows when he needs to step back into something simpler so listeners dont get super bored. He does it all. Please if any of you guys have the time, search, him, up!!

[sturdy lichen]

Obviously Steve vai, favourite for mostly bad horsie, Daniel johns for frogstomp and then dimebag darrel pretty basic
