Hendrix
Dime
Omar Rodriguez Lopez
Slash
And the guys from Protest The Hero are just ridiculous!

Used to be all your typical shredders like Vai, Satch etc but I absolutely detest that sort of music now. It's just ****ing awful! The only one I can stand is Paul Gilbert as he can actually write a good song and fun instrumentals.

Hendrix's rhythm playing with chordy lead stuff (little wing, castles made of sand etc) is awesome.

Good calls on Butler and James Dean Bradfield.

And yeah, interesting to see what people are listening for in a guitarist. Seems to be two broad groups - technicians and 'feel' players.
