Poll Best G3 Guitarist

[Catiee]

Petrucci, Satriani, Vai, Gilbert, Eric Johnson, Yngwie Malmsteen.

Pick one and state why you chose him.

I personally love Petrucci because of how versatile he truly is. The stuff he writes for dream theater and LTE are just out of this world. He incorporates classical guitar techniques and scales into progressive rock like no other. Also, he's probably got one of the most beautiful tones in the game, and plays with passion. Also, who else can play that fast? seriously?

i do agree !!

Personally I don't think any of them play with the passion of their slower counterparts, however for me it has to be Steve Vai. His work with Zappa is some of my favourite guitar stuff, simply because of how ****ing cool it is.

Then why in the world would you say something so stupid as "No one besides guitarists gives a damn how fast you can play"? There's plenty of evidence that these artists' main goals do not include playing fast.

Petrucci is god among men!!

GoRAB dammit, cliRAB of dover is just a good song .. it's not the grandest piece of guitar wank ever made. Not on any level, technical skill, feeling or pure sound aesthetics.

That was an opinion, but I like to think it's somewhat educated one. I do like Eric Johnson and I've also had Ah Via Musicom in my collection for a long time, but I find him a little boring. CliRAB of Dover is definetly the best song from that album, I think, but I'm not sure it fully deserves all this godly praise.

[Slam]

Paul Gilbert for sure. He can play so many styles, and he's simply the funkiest of them all. Eric Johnson is a close second, and Steve Vai is a close third.

And if anyone votes Yngwie they're getting my foot up their ass.

Having a hard time choosing between Vai and Johnson. Both are stupidly good musicians.
