My favorite guitarists!

This is my list of TOP 5 guitarist that I adore and has influenced me to practice shredding and to become a better guitarist:



5. Kerry King (Slayer) - Love his work in Angel of Death but most of all he’s using my dream guitar, BC Rich Warlock. I want that guitar so much, it is so beautiful. The headstock is brilliant and more metal than any other brand. But the problem now is BC Rich is rarely found in Malaysian guitar shop as it is not distributed here anymore. The China made models has so many problems that the dealers stop replenishing their stocks.




























4. Synyster Gates (Avenged Sevenfold) - This would probably be the only guitarist you now here since the band itself is doing so well now. His sound has been praised by many and Guitar World hailed him as one of the fastest guitarist of all time. There's one type of technique that he oftenly used where other guitarist couldn't master or at least rarely use it and it is the use of quadruplets instead of triplets alternative picking. We got the the same pickup, Seymour Duncan Invader…. ha haa



























3. Joe Satriani - No one else has the skills or experience to rival this guy. He is the creator of the G3 group and he is the master of sound and effects. His students : Steve Vai, Kirk Hammett, Alex Skolnick.





















2. Yngwie Malmsteen - I cannot stop talking about this guy. Love him that much. He don’t need skill or effect or sound to impress people. Just speed and loads of it. No other pro can play like him. Already tried his signature scalloped strat. Best gile wei, just 6 notes played and i'm hooked. Never thought it would be that easy and comfortable to play scalloped frets since a lot of people complained about it.





















1. Alexi Laiho (Children Of Bodom) - COB and Sinergy rules. No other band has the energy and harmonics to match up to what this guy has. Love his Jackson RR-LL one of my dream guitar too. His ESP signature is not as beautiful as the Jackson but better quality and sound la. I've already tested the model with EMG-HZ pickups and it was awesome.This guy got me into shred and you can never go wrong with Alexi Laiho. Also a big fan of his co-guitarist too, Roope Latvala. My god his signature ESP is beautiful. Sinergy guitar battles way better than Dragonforce. Period…..
