Some guitarists only hit once in a lifetime, but that's all they need to do. Others are great most of their lives. The ones I mentioned for specific songs are still great guitarists, I just think they shone a little brighter in those instances.

It's called guitarbage. The sad part is that after Malmstein showed up, about 20 other people showed up and did it better, and still no one remembers their names.

Mine would have to be Marty Friedman. Very underated guitar player. Tornado of souls solo is sooo beautiful. Reminds me of a living Randy Rhoads in a certain way.

Malmstein is ok very talented in shredding , but everything sounds similar. He reminds me of Zakk Wyld. Very skillful can play anything , but can't write solos worth shit. I like my guitar players not only to play well , but to write good shit as well. Listen to Joe Satriani song Rubina < beautiful song>
Or liquid tensions "Osmosis" talent comes in all genres with guitar. Marty Friedman plays multiple genres

Hands down the best guitarist, the way he throws this down-tempo rhythm into the drumming is head slamming awesome.

The guitarists mentioned above are good I guess, but more from a "let's clap for them because they're technical" sort of way and to me I find that boring because it's flat... besides


Riffs > Solos

You obviously have no idea who Django Reinhardt, Andres Segovia, or Larry LaLonde are. Your opinions mean about dirt right now.

The REAL truth is,

They just aren't heavy enough for my sensibilities , are they talented technically? Yes. Can they ozone your brain from rhythm? Probably not.

Can induce chemical reactions in your brain if you bump the bass high enough
