Best guitarists in hard rock and heavy metal
Ronnie Montrose - one of the best guitarists in the history of mankind.

I might go with some slightly odd choices here:
Jariot Lehtinen from the band Waltari. https://www.metal-archives.com/image...rtist.jpg?0327 The guitarist everyone knows from that band is probably Sami Yli-Sirniö since he has played in Barren Earth and currently in Kreator as well. Sami is great and all, but my favorite was always Jariot. He's plays very soulfully and I love his guitar tone. Go to 02:59 for a good example: Pekka Olkkonen from the band Stam1na. https://www.levytukku.fi/images/articles/pexin_orig.jpg He writes almost all of the music in what is one of my top 3 metal bands in the world, so how could I not pick him? He plays all the solos as well and I love his style. Check out the whole section from 01:37 to 02:51 to see what's so special about this guy: Kaoru from the band Dir En Grey. http://images.equipboard.com/uploads...g?v=1499081379 Inventive, skilled, stylistically varied and a guitarist with a very recognizable expressiveness to his playing. So many great riffs, so many fantastic solos, so many interesting details in his guitar playing. Check out the section starting at 02:30 for an "argument" as to why this guy is top level material: |
Mayhem's Euronymous. Introduced a playing style that gave birth to the second wave of black metal as we know it.
|
Ritchie Blackmore for me.
|
Mick Barr of Krallice, Orthrelm, Zach Hill, and the Flying Luttenbachers.
Shreddier Better |
Christopher Arp from Psyopus ranks pretty high for me.
|
Slayer have some of the only solos in metal that are worth truly giving a **** about as they made Slayer even more ****ing wild than they already were. And that's on top of having the sickest riffs ever. Don't even care how they stack up to other guitarists cause I'll never care about a guitar duo as much as I do Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman.

I think this might have been the first mathcore song I ever heard and it's still got one of the most memorable main riffs I've ever heard. Quote:

Whenever I watch Tosin Abasi I'm struck by how effortless his playing seems.

Top metal guitarists
1.Iommi 2.Rhoads 3.Petrucci 4.Friedman Period. |
lol Petrucci.
|
And is Rhoads really that great? I mean the guy makes some fire riffs that deserve a ****load of praise for kicking ass, but in the end he still sounds like a goofy 80s metal guitarist, even if he did kind of create a lot of that sound.
|
I think he earned his cred with Dee.

Marc Rizzo. His work with Soulfly and the Cavalera boys is/was some of the best in metal, but his solo work is incredible.
|
So hard to put some of this into perspective.

Selim Lemouchi of The Devil's Blood. Also known and credited for the guitar solos for Lawless Darkness and Waters Of Ain on Watain's album Lawless Darkness. Selim is seen far stage right in this.
