Zakk Wylde

I dont agree with the RR comment though, not remotely, for his time when he came out, few could do what he did, and his thing was absolutely original, and today because of what he did there are so many guitarists doing runs straight out of his playbook everytime they run a legato line.

A hard act if not impossible to follow...

...ask Bernie Torme and Brad Gillis...

I don't think there is such a thing. It is open to opinion

I am probably going to get a bit of stick, but Steve Vai, Malmsteen and most of the other speed guitarists as i find them very boring.I don`t like instrumentals which they specialise in.Talented, but boring.I find them better when they are with real bands and not just shredding for the sake of it.
