Colton King
Randy Rhoads hands down. Really nice technique and an amazing kinda classic and fast smooth legato style playing. Also a great composer.
Samuel Richardson

Jeremiah Nguyen
Albert King
>because it wouldn't be patrician to say Stevie Ray Vaughan
Charles Thomas
Matt Pike cause he can play anything.
Jonathan Stewart
Christopher Gray
Hell yeah. Paul Gilberts shredding video is some of the most glorious shit I've ever downloaded. His signature guitar is cool as hell too
Caleb Myers
Gilbert is the patrician pick.
Jace Martinez
JUST
Anthony Thomas
Yeah I love Gilbert too, he just seems like he's a really friendly and funny dude. Racer Xs first three were cool.
Sebastian Rivera
Good fucking pick, homie.
Camden Hall
most guitarists couldn't even play a barre chord on one of his guitars
James James
has science gone too far!?
Julian Johnson
Thomas Erak of Fall of Troy
I like guitarists that do a combination of fast licks, odd shapes, and jump quickly between heavy syncopated chords and alternate picking up the neck. I also like guitarist that don't rely on too much gain so that they don't have to play with as much balls. I love speed, but I hate sweep picking. The first Fall of Troy album was a treasure trove of all of the things I like about this style of guitar playing.
Too bad the sophomore album tanked and everything since then has been terrible. Doppelganger is still my favorite guitar album.
Hudson Fisher
Fuck yes. All of their albums are great, not sure what you are talking about. Listen to them a few times, they'll grow on you. Especially manipulator. Thomas is amazing.
Nicholas Howard
Listening to 'OK' and it seems like a return to form. The other albums seemed, I dunno, "emo" to me.
Logan Jones
I know nothing about guitars, what's the deal with Mascis'?
Ryan Cook
He's an extremely proficient guitar player
having a high acton I'm not sure about the ins and outs of, but his knowledge on not only music theory in general, but guitar technicals (such as different effects and functionalities) is lightyears beyond most.
For a man who seems like he got a little /too/ high once, he's an undisputed genius
Mason Morris
hearing the slightest buzz must throw him into a maniacal rage
Samuel Campbell
the gap between the strings and frets is really fucking huge, making it more difficult to play notes
Ryan Reed
Matt Weed, from Rosetta, most underrated guitarist in my opinion. He has such a mastery of effects that he can make one guitar sound like three, using delay and split rigs to their full potential. His style is very clean and pretty, almost Edge-like, which brings a totally unique sound to the heavy music he's playing alongside.

Great songwriting
Not the most technical guitarist in the world but every note sounds fucking amazing
Jayden Carter
I just dig his sound. and Django, but that's obvious.
Blake Perez
I thought Weird Al played accordion?
Jason Kelly
Mike Einziger from Incubus. Whether you think they're a crap band or not this guy's playing style and use of effects are brilliant.

Gabriel Lopez
The dude outdoes everyone from a strictly academic and technical point of view and also in levels of originality and unorthodox experimentation
Ethan Rodriguez
...
Nathaniel Cooper
Will Swan; He can be cringy at times, but nobody can beat this dude's licks.
Carson Sanchez
Phil Lynott doesn't even play guitar
Jayden Davis
Wata is cute and a distortion god
Christian Wood
Save for the industrial shit
Dominic Richardson
Glenn Branca for the noise/experimentation/feedback/guitar effects/prepared guitar idk what to call all this.
Alf Svensson when he was in At The Gates for writing riffs that are both visceral and clever.
Django Reinhardt is my jazz pick. Technical but not a showboat, and a huge influence on the styles of the above two players.
Gabriel Fisher
Ahem
Carter Anderson
I'm with OP here. Marty is amazing and creative. I dont see how he can pick the way he does, though. Really uncomfortable for me
