Eddie and Page dont deserve that company

Syn has been honored by myriad critics and publications to be within the top 15-20 fastest and most technically skilled guitarists. Your biased opinion means jackshit. Decent list though
>>68270784
He's not that good dude.
>>68270784
He really isn't.

Not sure about many others, but Marty Friedman has literally been living in Japan for over 15 years, speaks fluent Japanese and likes glitter and stars and shit.
He's the most weaboo person ever, and he's arguably one of the greatest guitarists to ever live.
People come in all shapes and sizes and looks.
Jason Becker
>>68271058
he hasn't played a single note worth listening to since he became a weeb. just proof that it destroys everything good.
Jeff Loomis, do yourself a favor and listen to zero order phase if you haven't

In an alternate universe where shit synthonics didn't become the big thing Justin Bieber is the Jimmy Page he was born to be.
>>68271188
Shit nigger, I fucking love this guys stuff.
This dude is one of the best still playing real music on real instruments.
If youve never listened to Lucas Manns guitar playing from Rings Of Saturn then you need to go do so.
Absolutely my personal picks but Ed Salazar and John Dietrich from deerhoof are ridiculously good. The shit they write is technically insane, noisy and somehow still catchy. They can go from chaotic, a-tonal nonsense to pop catchiness in the blink of an eye.
Again, just my dumb old opinion.
>>68271369
No one asked for your dumb old opinion. Fuck off cunt.
Leo Kottke, Nels Cline, Julian Lage, Norman Blake, Tony Rice etc

Great guitarist in a shit-tier band.
Does anyone even know how fucking good this guy was?
>>68271548
He looks quite attractive in that picture.

i'm sorry for this thread's shite taste
also he's making a new album apparently
Kiko Loureiro.
Probably one of the most well known Brazilian guitarists ever, and huge in South America. Now that Megadeth picked him up he'll finally get the worldwide recognition he deserves.
There is literally nothing he can't play, any genre, any style, any speed and any technique.

>Jason Becker
>making a new album
Nigga, he can't move. He's paralyzed. He hasn't played guitar in almost 30 years.
>>68271636
I think he means one that Becker composes but other people play guitar on.
