1. EVH - (Van Halen) The reason I got started, even though he is an assmunch, still my favorite player of all time. Once I heard "Eruption" it was all over
2. Malmsteen - (Alcatraz, Raising Force, solo) Speed kills, and I love his vibrato and tone
3. Satch (Solo, fill-in for the Rolling stones)- Song writing and tone
4. Vai (Zappa, DLR, Whitesnake, solo)- Mind blowing at times, killer technique : John Petrucci - same as Vai
5. Nuno bettencourt (Extreme, solo)- Killer licks, and the second best rhythm player behind EVH IMO
6. Eric Johnson (Solo)- Technique,technique,technique
7. Neal Scholn (Journey, solo)- Arena rocks rules - guys got killer chops and I love his solo structuring
8. Jason Becker (Cacphony, DLR, solo)- Listen to his versions of Vai and EVH covers with roth. Enough said
9. John Sykes - (Blue Murder, Whitesnake) Guy tears that shit up, and has killer tone
10. Warren DiMartini (Ratt)- What can I say, I'm an 80's child. Wrote lots of crazy solos for Ratt. Most unique player in the 80's
CHECK THIS NERD OUT ............. Guy blowns my mind with killer technique
