"Favourite Guitarist?"

Ok so this may not get replies.
I hope it will though.

Do you have a favourite guitarist?

Mine is without a doubt Frankie Sullivan,from Survivor.

He is a living legend.

There are the overrated ones like The Edge and Yngwie Malmsteen ,and then the ones who spend their lives doing stuff thats life changing ,and it goes un-noticed.

It's an ultimate sin.

Yep they sure are. In YOUR opinion. I know someone with no guitar experience. He got a crappy acoustic from someone and we taught him barre chords. In about a week he could play all the Nirvana songs. Sure Cobain was a great songwriter, but he sure did stink at guitar. Same goes for Noel Gallagher. Paul Weller is Gallgher with knobs on - he can actually play the damn axe!

Squire is fantastic. I got that Seahorses album and it was really good. Stone Roses were good, but a little too 'jingly-jangly' for me. First album is a corker though. "The Second Coming" was just Led Zeppelin rehashed.

Kravitz is a big-headed crybaby who stormed off the stage at Glastonbury because no-one wanted to hear him.

Can't really comment on the rest. Didn't Frank Black release an album recently that he'd recorded on a 4-track? I've got Bossa Nova and that's alright. Got a "Hurricane #1" single when they were together, but it was just the same sort of music that Oasis were knocking out at the time.

And how far he has fallen too. Crushing the Rock Guitar puppet of Satan, to doing voice work on The Animals of Farthing Wood.

Not quite the same I don't think.

They sure can wax cars though.

And Macchio was cool, he defeated the hell out of Steve Vai by playing the classical riff.

Ralph Macchio rules, some of his solos are so cool. Didn't he have kids?

Too true. There are too many guitar ponces around nowerdays. I think this is part of the reason that most rock sucks. None of them have any balls.

Ralph Macchio is quite good as well....

How did I forget Tim Sult (Clutch)???
Wah-Wah master.

And Kerry King - because his head is tattooed and he played the "Angel of Death" riff.
