wtf

I prefer Rusty Cooley.

Yngwie all day long!

Both awesome but id take Chris

Kiko is amazing. But gotta give it to Poland for originality and that tone, the man just has such a unique tone.

Where is TJ Hemerich and what is he doing?

Winter Madness solo. Took me a month to learn it and was a bitch to learn. Worth it. Idk I thought the new Wintersun would be killer but idk....I was hoping it would be better. Wish Teemu stayed.

Imagine walking into this gig back then not knowing who Shawn was. You'd probably have walked out asking yourself, "Did I just watch the greatest electric guitarist of all time? WTF?" and you'd likely have been right.

E' un alieno. Mostruosamente alieno!

Ernie C from Body count,nowntheres an underrated guitarist🤟🤟🤟

I don’t know there’s something about Chris Poland. Very unique bend/vibrato and phrasing. I’ll choose Chris Poland over Vai, Satriani, Yngwie, Marty, Jason Becker, and any of today’s technical shred guitarists!!!!! He’s original like EVH, Randy Rhoads, Hendrix in his own unique way!!!!

Just speed.....booring...

Romeo is King!

Shawn Lane, Jason Becker and now Guthrie Govan..My top 3 of all time..and I have seen a LOT of virtuoso guitarists.....

My personal favorites at the moment are Guthrie Govan (insane!) and Paul Gilbert.....Guthrie is getting up there with Shawn and Jason....So that would be my top 3 at the mo..

I have seen quite a few famous guitarists but for me personally Shawn Lane and Jason Becker are still the best....and both careers ended in a tragic way....

The question was who is the better shredder . The answer is by far yngwie . Micheal is good with tapping not shredding . It’s legato vs passio . Legato is tapping. Passio is shredding.

Matteo Mancuso per sempre

The thing about Mateo is that his playing is so clean you can hear the notes you don't hear any distorted garbage when he plays. He does not rely on trying to fool people with this sound.

Indonesia have Mr. BALAWAN

Il nostro fratello italiano sta facendo impazzire tutti i chitarristi del mondo😂😂😂😂😂beh non sarebbe la prima volta,pare che Dio abbia un debole per il popolo italico....i più grandi arrivano dalla terra più piccola al mondo....guarda caso a forma di stivale

All a one trick pony

Yooooo Scottie Mishoe is here as well❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Yeah, finally Roy gets exposure

Sophie Lloyd should be inside

Poland!!

No 1is akira takahasi

One thing we can all agree on: We wouldn’t want to get caught between either of them at a Golden Corral 😳

Howe has more horizontal movement, Kotzen has more vertical movement Howe's like a tram🚡going to the city, Kotzen's like a bus🚌going to the hills

My friend worked backstage at the arena and said yngwie had a special formula he'd stick his hands in after a show because his fingertips were slightly burned from playing so fast

This is actually Bucketheads son Snack Pack

For those who got tired of practicing the same arpegios every day there you are haha. Man, thanks for that, those are gems!

Malmsteen does a lot of the same repetition and Romero has more varieties and techniques both are bad ass both just have different styles in there own class keep on rocking guys

Weirdest thing is although hes Russian 🇷🇺 he talks in perfect Queens 👑 English like Freddie Mercury 😅

Romeo wins on every level. Song writing, style variety and obviously personality!

Hit me right in my brain, every single note.

I prefer Lenny Breau.Speed is not everything.It's not like you say.Lenny played western,country,jazz(no fusion),classic. His playing was much more complex.

Marshall Harrison 🖤🎼💀

With a well adjusted instrument the things become easier. Too much guitarrists in world pass by the hard expirience of playing with a bad guitar!

The kid is amazing but just like all the other kids that play like this I get bored of it in about 30 seconds and I don’t wanna listen to it no more

Akira Takasaki????

I still believe board tapes exist of at least the first performance. They record so much at NAMM, someone somewhere has better recordings.

Two incredible guitar players. When we compare only the solos not the songs (don´t know much of Symphony X) then I see, that Yngwie can sometimes play some blues. I didn´t heard from M. Romeo. Sometimes I think when I hear them playing: Less can be sometimes more. It is guitar playing, not sports. They are both brilliant, but their solos not really touch me. For really soulfull and melodic playing just listen to Blackmore, Schenker or Gary Moore

Joe Bonnamassa & Gary Moore are not really blues guitarists, but ROCK guitarists... In my opinion, they don't deserve to be 1 & 2, or you should put MARCUS KING number 1 (for example), who is much more better !... Talent is not only "how many notes you can play in one second", but which kind of notes you are playing and when ! At least, without feeling, virtuosity is nothing else but a boring demonstration...

He’s a freak but my goodness, he really looks like he belongs in the Simpson’s

CRISTOPHER IMPELLITTERI ALL DAY LONG N EVERYDAY 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

My fav guitaris...pata,sugizo... Xxxxxxxx......and the legend char...

where's I Wayan Balawan from Bali??? not in the list??? 😂

Kindly add, Shinichi kobayashi, anchang, circuit v panther and a2c

Sergey Mavrin - russian guy, quite old !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His left hand is slightly paralyzed, but his technique is crazy!
