Mr Timo Tolkki from Stratovarius. Probably the fastest player i've ever heard. but everybody on that list is worth mentioning
Timo Tolkki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Johnson is referring to Carlos Montoya.... perhaps one of the greatest
flamenco guitar players the world has ever known. I'm surprised he isn't on
your list. Neither is Glenn Campbell.... or Chet Atkins....
Or did you just pick all the hard/acid/metal rock types ?

You must not have heard Herman Li from Dragonforce. The man is ****ing amazing and fast and hell. I saw them open for Megadeth back in June and the guy was wild crazy fast. I am sure he is faster than Malmsteen.

Ya well Chet Atkins I think is a really awesome player, try playing the tiger rag like him!![]()
However there are many great players out there and the list reflects the rock genre of guitarist. Rock though incompasses so many styles from influences it is fairly accurate.
Listen to Steve Vai you get almost every style you could wish, same goes for Joe Satriani. Yngwie Malmsteen plays classical Bach influenced songs its.
One of the greatest classical/flamenco would be Paco Pena. He brought that style up to more people years and years ago.
However for out right flexibility and new ideas the above list covers the main players.
I personally think that Malmsteen is overated. I mean he is a great guitarist and you can not deny that, but he is so full of himself and there are plenty of people out there that are just as good but without the ego.
Agreed.
I pretty much like any guitarist that sounds great. My main love of music is Heavy Metal and Hard Rock but I like all kinds of guitar music. Hell you should have seen me at the Clapton/King concert. I was standing there with my long hair and Metallica T-shirt chilling out to some great guitar sounds. Same with Santana. Satch and Vai are amazing.
No B.B. King or Chuck Berry.
I have a cd with The Thrill is Gone by B.B. King.
Hey Chris, have you seen the set with Vai, Satriani Robert Fripp? When Satriani was interviewed he was asked about Fripp, he mentioned Fripp as being a great influence. I would have voted for him if he had been on the list...
not my kind of music, but cant deny the dude is a genius
