5 Favorite guitarist
 

James Hetfield-MetallicA
Kirk Hammett-MetallicA
Dave Mustaine-Megadeth
Dimebag Darrel-Pantera
Slash-Guns'n'roses:homer:

Jeff Hanneman
Trey Azagthot (his name's a big tricky)
Chuck Shuldiner
Pat O'Brian

And last, but certainly not least, Dave Suzuki. That man is fucking brilliant. (probably the most talented of the 5 i've chosen)

If someone disagrees, i highly recommend listening to Vital Remains. Suzuki is a drummer, but he writes and play all the solos....ALL of them. He also does effects, plays classical solos when needed, synth, and a few other instruments.
