Seriously, Compay Segundo deserves a mention. Rye Cooder did the world a favor by getting these people together again. Buena Vista Social Club. Definitely not for everyone, but these guys have more talent between them together than I can comprehend. Here he is at about age 92 or so, standing, playing guitar, he died in 2003 at age 95 I believe. Last edited by EeePee; 10-10-2009 at 12:15 PM. |

Alex Skolnick...since 85 when I first heard Testament....From Jazz to Metal shred.... Listen to the whole thing....he is amazing... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qtx8s5RyzU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xjy61r8p7wE&feature=related Jazz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gIcHS0_CB8&feature=related fav song by them....has it all... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNCandfFpWs during all my learning to play, these guys never let me down to skate in the 80's....then they hired a guy named Rocky George...from way out of left field...if you listen, he is soloing through almost the whole song.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2RskJVFUoQ singing isn't as impressive as when I was 18..the the message is quite clear still...and the guitars still get me... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Yo5zVdKFCY Last edited by squatch71; 10-10-2009 at 01:03 PM. |

 I honestly don't think I could list just one favorite. I like alot of them. The one that influenced me the most when I was playing was James Hetfield. The dude's got some ballsy riffs. | |
