Vituosos should practice nine hours? Nah, not if they don't need to. And Becker is good, but I wouldn't put him anywhere near the best guitarists I've ever heard. He may be technical, and have the technique, but that doesn't mean a thing compared to a good tune. Then again, I don't like Batio, Satch or Vai much either, virtuosos tend to bore me.

My favourite guitarists would have to include Jerry Cantrell (AiC), Alexi (Bodom), Deron Miller (CKY), Chuck (Death), Pepper Keenan (Corrosion, Down), Ginger (The Wildhearts), Tom Morello (Rage), Dan and Pin (Sikth), Claudio and Travis (Coheed), and Friedman (Megadeth). All musicians who can put together some damn fine riffs, and top them up with the odd amazing solo. A good riff and a well thought out solo means more to me and speed and technique any day, and I've been playing for around four years now.

the way you phrased that doesnt make me wanna argue with you...so...cool.....but if you wanna hear tasty phrases try david lee roth...a lil aint enough....its cool.....

I always thought Billy Corgan (The Smashing Pumpkins/Zwan) and Kristin Hersh (Throwing Muses/50 Foot Wave) were pretty good.

Michael Angelo Batio is probably the greatest

again.are you like..askin for an ass kickin..he sucks....
why do you think batios any good????do you even play guitar????if so...do you like...suck....

becker is the best guitarist ever...tahts a fact......slash is cool....but friedman and becker are totally better...they can out play anyone...

Uh, ok. Yes, I have played guitar in several bands since my first year of highschool. That was 8 years ago.
I don't know if you're claiming that he sucks just to be different or if you just plain don't know anything about his style of music, but bandwagons aren't always wrong.

You also say Hammett sucks. Kirk Hammett happens to be one of the most influential guitarists for modern heavy metal. Surely Metallica's cult following (and Hammett's, for that matter) can't be all mistaken?

Can you play guitar anywhere near as well as either of them?
Didn't think so.

After reading your post ... i have come to the conclusion that you sound like an automation, and very uncool. (AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU)
You are regurgitating what you have heard, but there isn't anything solid in your arguements to add validity. Its just puffing out your chest and squaking as loud as you can to grab everyone attention and focus it on you.

Just because i learned to play guitar by playing someones music (whom you think has no technique) doesn't mean i am lookin' for an ass kickin' ! But i highly doubt that you'd be the one to do it ... pft ...

If you can play, good for you. Remember thinking and doin are 2 different things. Also air guitar isn't really playing guitar. I really don't care what you can or (most likely can't) do. Those who can't, teach and criticize ... Good for you to have a mate who believes what you do. Wow, 2 people who believe the same thing ... it must be true !

And if you have no style, technique is wasted...

I have never had anybody complain that because i learned to play guitar by playing metallica that i can't play, have no technique, style or am just a plain suck ass guitarist ...

But hey, you think what makes you feel good. After all its only your OPINION ... nothin' that will throw the world off its rotation.
