guitar heros

[Spudmurphy]

Bump to Tommy in Delaware.

You said you had a strap that belonged to Koss - so what's the story?

 

[Sub1 Zero]

Kirk Hammett - Makes great music, solos always fit, always seems happy. He is the reason I started playing guitar

James Hetfield - Same as Hammett, Metallica got me through some tough times

Marty Freidman - AMAZING, and has a very healthy attitude

Jerry Cantrell - Alice in Chains can really get inside you

Reb Beach - Winger or not, I love how he plays

Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing - Priest rules!

Prince - For being 5'2, he's the man... good at basketball too

Buckethead - Looks weird, but makes some awesome music

Steve Lukather - LOVE the way he solos, seems to be a cool guy too

[73h Nils]

John Petrucci. Most amazing guitar player I have ever seen/heard and the reason I picked up the instrument.

Steve Vai. One of the most original sounding musical pioneers with a perfect feel.

Steve Morse. I don't need to explain this one, haha.

Jeff Loomis. Absolute Guitar Monster.

Hmmm, last one? Paul Gilbert. The BEST entertainer on the face of the planet with extreme chops.
