John5 and Johnny Hiland. Johnny Hiland is probably the best guitarist most people have never heard of. He's on Steve Vai's Favored Nations label. It's very country for the most part, but on his bluesy stuff, he wails.
Oh...Jeff Beck. And was Clapton mentioned in here already ?
my favorite rock guitarist would have to be VINNIE VINCENT from either KISSlick it up or vinnie vincent invasion.i like eddie van halen,scorpions,AC-DC,JUDAS PRIEST,KISS,TWISTED SISTER,JIMMY HANDRIX,DOORS,POLICE,LED-ZEPPLIN,PINK FLOYD,CREDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL,RUSH we like music here. SUNTZU
"The suitcoats say, 'There is money to be made.'
They get so excited, nothing gets in their way
My road it may be lonely just because it's not paved.
It's good for drifting, drifting away."
