Randy Rhoads of Ozzy Osbourne
Randy was the guitarist for Ozzy in the early 80s. His classical style influenced most every guitar player to come out of the 80s. His death was a tragic moment in rock history! Listen to Crazy Train, Suicide Solution, and Paranoid (Live)
Slash of Guns N Roses
Slash is one of my favorite guitarist of all time! He always plays the guitar well and looks cool doing it. Slash plays with such feeling and emotion while playing amazingly fast; few guitarist have ever accomplished such a feat. Listen to Sweet Child O Mine, Welcome to the Jungle, November Rain, Knockin on Heaven's Door, and Estranged
Eric Clapton
Eric Clapton is truely a guitar god! He is definitely the most influencial and diversed guitarist. Without him, who knows where the guitar would be in rock! Listen to Layla, Cocaine, Wonderful Tonight, Crossroads, and White Room
Eddie Van Halen
Well...This one of my favorite riff makers! He is hands down the most influecial guitarist of the late 70s, 80s, and 90s. His two handed tapping technique, dive bombs, whammy bar madness, and fast picking are used by thousands of guitarists! He does have one weakness: Lead Singers! Listen to Eruption, Ain't Talkin Bout Love, Humans Being, Panama, and Hot for Teacher
Jimmy Page
Jimmy Page was the guitarist for Led Zeppelin; the largest rock band ever! His formula was pounding riffs, wild orchestrations, and simple yet melodic solos. He also had one of the best drummers of all time backing him up! Listen to Black Dog, Stairway to Heaven, Rock and Roll, and Whole Lotta Love
Stevie Ray Vaughan
SRV is the BEST blues guitarist to ever live! He had no problem letting his emotions flow straight through his guitar. I believe he started right where Hendrix left off, and he brought blues music to a new popularity.
Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi
Richie is my all time favorite guitarist! He has a side of him that is very technical but can show more emotion than most players can dream. He has been very sucessful with Bon Jovi and as a solo artist. He has it all! Listen to Dry County, Wanted Dead or Alive, Undiscovered Soul, Lay Your Hands On Me, and Love for Sale
