James Murphy is actually a pretty good death metal lead guitarist tho

Yeah yw lmao

[warm obsidian]

Atleast iommi there but he should be first

[coarse laurel]

dave musty anus

[eager locust]

Eddie Van Halen

[cold ruin]

I credit Slash for sparking my love for guitar and I owe a lot to him, definitely one of my biggest inspirations

If not him, probably someone like synyster gates or Nuno bettencourt

[vestal aurora]

phil tougas, muhammed suicmez

[vital sedge]

Adam Jones

[void warren]

Synyster gates

[pearl owl]

Tony Iommi

[alpine prairie]

💀 Tony Iommi says tje Kurt Cobain look alike called Mustaine

[pearl owl]

Tony iommi is the reason everyone exists

[alpine prairie]

He’s my mother?

[pearl owl]

Every guitarist plays what they play (and yes he is ur mother)

[alpine prairie]

What about what came out before sabbath?

Like Hendrix

[pearl owl]

He ain’t metal

Most of us are metal

[alpine prairie]

You said everyone

[pearl owl]

Ok fine, every metal guitarist?

[alpine prairie]

Also one could certainly argue Hendrix did some pretty metal stuff. Furthermore I present, Jimbob page

[pearl owl]

Ok yeah u win

I jus like his guitar work

[alpine prairie]

Now Thats based

[pearl owl]

He got the sickest power chord riffs

[spark crane]

youd think he invented them or something

[frosty flax]

either John Petrucci or MAB

[covert crescent]

Good choice

[sand reef]

Satch all the way

wait how has no one said satch yet 🤯🤯

[spark cedar]

Me

[turbid axle]

kirk hammett

[sand reef]

before or after 1991

[spark cedar]

I agree

[pearl owl]

I think so

[delicate bane]

Without Hendrix there wouldnt be Rock beyond Chuck Berry

By FAR the most influence ever in Guitar was and will ALWAYS be Hendrix

[pearl owl]

ik ik

[delicate bane]

If your favourite is the one that started it all then its Jimi

[pearl owl]

Probably even I’m somewhat influenced by Hendrix directly and indirectly

[delicate bane]

Everyone is somehow

Hendrix is like Music Jesus

[spark crane]

you can say this about every guitarist predating other ones

thats like saying black sabbath is the best metal band cus you wouldnt have other metal bands without them, which people do say

being the first to do something doesnt automatically make you the best to do it

infact in most cases the bands after the pioneers are better because theyre able to further refine and improve upon the genre

totally ok to acknowledge the infleunce of these players but being influential doesnt make you better then the people you influenced

otherwise charlie christian is the best guitarist in the world

[alpine prairie]

In my opinion black sabbath is the best metal band because I don’t like metal

[frosty flax]

I solidly doubt that

I think that Iommi had bigger influence

At least on metal guitar

Hendrix created modern day funk

[keen mica]

Eddie Van HAlen for me

[delicate bane]

Dude how in gods name

[frosty flax]

Dude created metal lmao

Without him there would be no 80s

Or basicly any heavier riffs based songs

[lost aurora]

Yngwie

[wooden sinew]

Dimebag

[cold ruin]

Slash, Nuno Bettencourt and Synyster Gates for me

[celest portal]

very different artists but steve vai and bradley nowell

[fleet plinth]

One of the best

[short escarp]

fr

rip to him tho 😔

[balmy nymph]

Jerry Garcia

[eternal spear]

i mean

if not him someone else would have done it

metal seems like a fairly intuitive progression from rock

[frosty flax]

It would be in conpletely diffrent shape

paul gilbert, bruce bouillet, spiro dussias, eddie van halen, marty friedman, jason becker, glenn tipton (CHAT DO I KNOW BALL?)

[delicate lichen]

I agree but I personally think Nirvana (especially Kurt Cobain) influenced more teenagers to start playing guitar nowadays. A different pov, since I am talking about nowadays (maybe for the past 15 years, dunno) still respectfully Hendrix is gyatdamn goated overall!

[delicate bane]

Very very VERY good take

I love that guy

[alpine prairie]

Page? Metal was creating itself anyway Sabbath was simply one of the front runners. Along with Whatever rhat guy that did the ghoul makeup was and iron butterfly not to mention Hendrix, Taste/Rory Gallagher or led zeppelin.

But let’s be real real founders of metal are Gustav Holst and Paganini

ive got a few:

ben bruce (asking alexandria)
frank iero (my chemical romance)
ben kasica (skillet)

johnny franck (attack attack!)

Frank isnt even lead wild

But he has cool harmonies parts I have to agree but Ray exceeds him in talent by miles

Tom morello
Big inspiration for me
Not only due to his music but his political activism

[vast fractal]

i dont like his lead playing but he inspired some awesome guitarists

he inspired Matt frickin Bellamy of Muse

thats a case of a literal punk rocker inspiring a classical trained musician

[fast tree]

I’m not experienced enough to talk about his actual skill

But his performance is like

Dayum

[vast fractal]

you dont need too much skill to write great solos. its all about choosing the right notes and phrasing em right

tho i dont rlly like morello's solos

also tom morello and RATM are kind of questionable when it comes to their politics but i dont know enough abt their actions to truly form an opinion

anyways

lets just talk abt the music

[hexed valley]

his son is pretty awesome

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRgHF1pcMMU

im glad his solos wont consist of rubbing his hand against the strings of his guitar{

[vast fractal]

indeed

[novel ridge]

My favorite is Eddie Van Halen, he inspired me to pick up the guitar as a teenager and changed my life for the better. My other favorites are Nile Rodgers, Tom Verlaine, Jeff Beck, and Tom Scholz.

one of my favorite guitar duos of all time

[undone lake]

Kirk Hammett and I think Kurt Cobain or Angus Young

[opaque ingot]

Gary Moore
Made every note feel alive, my favourite and in my opinion the greatest guitarist, not because he shreds fast, but because his guitar has emotion.

[hollow jungle]

Fred Durst

[proud dagger]

Marty Friedman and Synster Gates

[vast fractal]

i need to listen to marty’s newer music. i heard one of the newer songs and he sounds even better than his days in cacophony

[west bison]

yes he has improved a lot

hard to believe right

Inferno and Wall of Sound were really good

on scenes and introduction he dabbled in classical, and true obsessions into more mainstream pop rock

[vast fractal]

man we have kinda similar tastes. i REALLY think you'd like brandon ellis (the black dahlia murder), and paul gilbert and bruce bouillet (both from Racer X)

[stray hill]

I like Paul Gilbert and Brandon Ellis, but I didnt want my list to be even bigger than it already was

[vast fractal]

dont sleep on bruce tho, that mf was just as fast as paul in the 80s

[stray hill]

I just don’t really know who he is, was he in the band when Paul was

[vast fractal]

bruce bouillet was the other lead guitarist of Racer X, the band that paul was in during the mid 80s. bruce wrote some great solos too

[vast fractal]

here is one of his presumed improvised guitar solos: https://youtu.be/eNvu76KkKx4?si=pwkQ6SK-7ld6WHsx

[vast fractal]

such a clean guitar player

[stray hill]

Thanks for the rec! I can’t believe i never heard about him before

[vast fractal]

yeah hes genuinely amazing. it sucks that he got a hand injury which slowed him down, but hes still a very clean player these days. here is a video of him playing some Racer X songs in a medley, if youre interested in how good he still sounds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rd_tOviz8jw

[vast fractal]

[vast fractal]

citizen erased and plug in baby as well

plug in baby is a cool song

cool distorted bassline

[brazen siren]

yeah

[vast fractal]

it uses a vocal climax instead of a guitar solo

rlly good vocal talent showcased there

also it starts on a really really dissonant note in the intro riff

[brazen siren]

nuh uh

[red marlin]

Alex Lifeson, sheer skill how he’s able to pull off both rhythm and lead, and crazy solos. Underrated guitarist

[vast fractal]

his riffs are awesome

hes not my favorite lead guitarist but way better than kirk hammet

[red marlin]

But also think about in comparison too. He’s one man pulling two roles. Playing better live then in studio recording sometimes. Vs Kirk hammet yeah I agree he’s definitely legendary as a lead, but he’s got James as the rythym punchy stuff. I’m In between beginner and intermediate guitarist maybe there’s things i definitely don’t know lmao

Rush and Metallica are easily my top favorite bands. I view them both highly

[low stone]

Generational hate on Metallica 😭

[vast fractal]

maybe one day i’ll become a wholesome 45 year old dad and have less over exaggerated standards for music, but for now, this is how i’ll act

[half lotus]

Guthrie Govan, John Mayer. I like metal and blues..

[viral wren]

Dimebag by far my most favourite. A friend got me into metal through pantera and it has HEAVILY influenced me and my guitar playing. He will be forever my idol, my lion, my savior. That was 5-6 years ago. Also his style is just truly unique and sadly we will never see someone like him again

[cobalt geode]

Brian McLaughlin

It’s gotta be either John Petrucci, Robert Fripp, or Eddie Hazel
