Yeah and Billy Joe's a fucking nutswinger who couldn't play guitar if it hit him in the face.

Zakk Wylde

Buckethead

Randy Rhoads

Now imagine if I has written a melody like Satisfaction, which is really easy. Would that classify me as a guitar hero even though I haven't played gutiar for a year?

Only if every great guitar player that came after you learned your songs/riffs and considered you an influence.

Still makes him a good composer. I mean, a good guitarist should be able to play good.

[Raw Power]

Lily Lazer

HIM rules. B)

Hell fucking yeah they do

HIM rules just as much as aids.

Billie Joe sure isn't an amazing guitarist, but his playing is catchy as hell.

[Spoon87]

Slash is just my all-time favourite. He's just the blueprint of a lead-guitarist.

Second is Mike McCready.

Third is Buckethead, he's just too damn good.

Also fucking great are:

Brian May, Dave Gilmour, Jimi Hendrix, Keith Richards and Izzy Stradlin.

[GNR'R]

Eddie Van Halen.

He's just so innovative, technical, original, and has so much charisma. Also his guitar is just a work of art :xmasssanta:

[AtariLegend]

Hendrix & Van Halen are the best.

...But my favorite would probably be Buckethead...

I don't think BBF is that bad either.
