| This list is akin to what Uncle Sax posted awhile back, but this list is the "Greatest Guitarist" list (as if the thread title didn't give you a clue). List your Top 5 guitarists in order, with No. 1 being the highest and No.1 being the lowest Points System: No. 1 - 5 points No. 2 - 4 points No. 3 - 3 points No. 4 - 2 points No. 5 - 1 point As for genres, I don't think it'll matter. You can include jazz, blues, reggae, rock, and whatever else you want. A little diversity would be cool, but don't intentionally try to be diverse for diversity's sake. Remember, it's YOUR OPINION. At about the end of December, I tally up the points and name the top 20 guitarists and the "Honorable Mention" lists. I'll start:
- Eddie Van Halen
- Randy Rhoads
- Eric Clapton
- Jimmy Page
- Brain May

Gus G Yngwie Angus Young Jonny Lang Surprising pick of Johnny Lang, great blues guitartist, btw who is Gus G? Guitarist for Firewind. Also used to be in Mystic Prophecy, Dream Evil and a half dozen other metal bands. From Wikipedia: - Quote :
- Kostas Karamitroudis (Greek: Κώστας Καραμητρούδης) aka Gus G., born September 12 1980 in Thessaloniki, Greece is an acclaimed heavy metal guitarist currently with Firewind. He has also played in Mystic Prophecy, Nightrage, Arch Enemy and Dream Evil. At the age of 18 he left Greece to enroll in the Berklee College of Music, but left after only a few weeks and began working on making a name on the Metal scene. During his brief time at Berklee Gus came into contact with Joe Stump, who he credits as a great influence on his career [1].
On July 2005, he temporarily replaced Christopher Amott as guitarist of melodic death metal band Arch Enemy on their Ozzfest dates, and also contributed to their album Doomsday Machine by playing lead guitar on the song "Taking Back my Soul".
He has made guest appearances for various artists, such as providing solos on the songs "Felonies of the Christian Art" and "Life Deprived" by Old Man's Child, from the album In Defiance of Existence, and a few solos on the album Gallows Gallery by the Japanese avant-garde black metal band Sigh).
The stage name "Gus G." has two sources of origin - "Gus" is a common Greek American English translation of the name "Kostas," and "G" was a nickname given to him by a friend during his time living in the U.S..
Gus G was chosen as the third of the three best guitar players all over the world in 2003 by the Japanese magazine BURRN!.

If you at some point change your mind, go back and edit your old post to avoid confusion. | |

| Thanks to this thread, I dug out the first Dream Evil CD I ever heard. I'd forgotten how much I love "Dragon Slayer"; Gus G freakin' tears up this disc! _________________ "The cat is the most ruthless, most terrifying of animals." - Spock in the "Catspaw" episode of ToS Season 2.
