Lots of great names mentioned. Here's one more.
Mark Knopfler
Great with Dire Straits, great solo. If you don't own Golden Heart, buy it today. He's not as flashy as some, but he he is tasty, tasteful, and he can burn when he wants.

A few more names
Will Sergeant
Mick Ronson
Lou Reed (Sister Ray is something else)
Bernard Butler
Eddie Vanhalen of course and George Lynch (the best rock/hairmetal guitarist of the 80's).
Robert, I was just busting your gonads. Morello is an innovative player and a pretty cool guy at that. ;) ;DQuote:

Vai, satriani, batio, malmsteen, eric johnson, slash, eric clapton, jimi hendrix,kirk hammet, eddie van halen, Mark knopfler. They are all pretty damn good.
If you check youtube there is some really good guitar players that arent famous, guys like Jerry C, Mattrach(youtube name), funtwo. All three have one thing in common, they both played canon rock, which is basically pachabels canon in D turned into a total shred rockathon and sounds awesome. I can play some of it. Jerry C wrote it and he sure can play.Mattrach did a cover of canon rock, played it heaps good...then wrote his own and it sounded even better. The guy is around my age and kicks my arse totally on the guitar...but hes played since he was 7 it says on his bio thing. Have a look on youtube, you find heaps good undiscovered guitarists.
ayup snakey mate. where the fuck you been for ages mate. long time no (auzie) smell :-)Quote:
