Favorite and/or most influential guitarists (for you as a player or in general)

[djs7685]

1. Muhammed Suicmez - it wouldn't be easy to find someone else capable of making shredding on guitar look so easy AND doing vocals simultaneously
2. Devin Townsend - musical genius, a great composer over many different styles
3. Anders Bjorler - basically pioneered the entire melodic death metal genre that so many bands have copied since the first At the Gates release
4. Karl Sanders/Dallas Toler-Wade - huge fan of their style, I'm way into Egyptian mythology, love death metal, and play guitar, so this one is the "fanboy" pick
5. Malmsteen/Vai/Satch/Petrucci/Lynch - I'm not the biggest fan of some of their music, but their talent is undeniable and they definitely brought shred guitar to the masses moreso than most others
