Joe Walsh. He’s hilarious and is super knowledgeable not only about music and music theory, but about guitars and amps. On top of all that, he has an amazing stage personality and is really funny.

Most my favourite players have been mentioned already, but two of my main influences that haven’t been mentioned yet are Mick Thomson (Slipknot) and James Hetfield (Metallica)

[Julian Barton]

My favorite guitarists are probably Steve Vai, John Petrucci, and Joe Satriani. I love the tones they have and I love learning their songs because they are technical enough it forces me to work on my skills every time I play!

 

[Turias F.]

Tremonti + Slash

 

[Chad Thompson]

All of the above…of course Eddie Van Halen, Tosin Abasi and this guy

 

[Laís Muniz]

I’d say Zakk Wylde and Stevie Ray Vaughan. I love Alexi Laiho’s style too.

 

[Jacob Rash]

My favorites besides Syn and Papa Gates would have to be Jim Root, Steve Vai, and Jerry Horton

 

[Adam Ward]

John Petrucci easily, the guy is an absolute monster.

 

[Baelee Lindemann]

Lindsey Buckingham was my first guitar idol
