1 Buckethead or Yngwie Malmsteen I really can't decide which.
2. Slash
3Van Halen
4. Kirk Hammett
5 Tony Iomi
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

1: Alex lifeson-Rush
2: Eddie Van Halen
3: Slash was good but I hated Guns and Roses. One minute of good guitar ruined by seven minutes of a banshee screeching.
4: Brian May
5: Johnny Marr from the Smiths

Fuck I didn't expect this question to get answers so instantly, pretty pleased about it though. Some good answers too.

I like Frankiej’s list, but I’d probably put Gilmore in above Hubert Sumlin. There are others of course, but I would be remiss if I didn’t include David Gallaher and his cigar box on my personal list of favorites.
