You don't listen to music, you just wear it on t shirts
Ian Fisher
Gonna go for some atypical choices.
I still love a lot of the classics, but for variety
I used to be real big into solo guitarists and shredders and all that and I still enjoy but I've found I really enjoy the less lead-stuff a lot more.
>Isaac Brock
Modest Mouse
is one of my favorites for example.
2:45
4:40
the fucking ENERGY is ridiculous in both.

>Jesse Lacey
Brand New

Another example, not a very accomplished guitarist but something about the energy in how he plays comes out so much stronger to me than a lot of the notes he plays.
Billy corgan isn't a favorite but similar reasoning from him. Mayonaise is amazing though.
>Kaoru/Die
Dir en Grey

I just feel like there's so much more to their playing that they hold back, they can go absolutely wild but they still do what's best for the song and don't wank.
>Jenn / S
Carissa's Wierd
youtube.com
She has a really weirdly unique lofi sound, this is late 90's early 00's output
I'm just really impressed by the genuine feel of her music.
It's sloppy but I adore it.
It just feels so raw and completely her own style.
I can't name another guitarist who sounds like this and it's not a gimmick style of playing or anyhting. Just hers. I think that's an extremely special and important quality
>Daniel Gildenlow
Pain of Salvation
youtube.com
4:00 just did some of the catchiest odd time signature stuff.
I just think that kind of stuff is cool when it's done well.
And the guitar tones near the end at 5:00
Amazing ringing distortion on a pretty clean guitar.
Just such a comforting guitarist.
Lindsey's undderrated, his energy when he plays live is beautiful.
great choices
john petrucci may wank all the time but when he does it right, he does it really damn right. He's made some way beautiful melodies
Levi Roberts
Ritchie Blackmore
'80s Gary Moore
Steve Lukather
Paul Gilbert
Eric Johnson
Honourable mentions to Michael Schenker, George Lynch, John Norum and Ronni Le Tekro.
I'm not gonna argue with anyone who likes Lynch.
