which guitarist blew your mind the first time you heard him

[zepp_rules]

for me it was hendrix with, all along the watchtower and voodoo chile (slight return)

[zepo]

Page,Vai,Buckethead are the ones that did it for me

[BadHorsie]

Me! I remember the first time I heard myself on tape, after playing for less than six months, I thought to myself, "Damn, I really blow,". :)

[howie50]

has to be jimmi page, jimi hendrix and john squire

[trendkillah]

Shawn Lane

[Led Zeppelin]

Vai, Vaughn, Slash, Hendrix, Yngwie, Clapton and Santana

[stratman42]

Yngwie. definitely. right away the first time i heard him. Hendrix also. Page when i heard his solo in heartbreaker.

[DarkRaiser]

the first was Yngwie on a vcd ...it was the first time i ever saw a person play that fast but the one that got me was vai.....all the time he was playing,i was wondering how the hell does he do that...

[James Hetfield Is Jesus]

KIRK HAMMETT, but some people for some reason perfer Dave Mustain geeze...

on the cliff "Em" all video they show live performances and one has dave playing a song and then the solo. And guess what they show next..??

KIRK HAMMETT playing a song with a solo and yah know what..

Can yah guess which one was better?

Yep Dave mustain's solo was a piece of **** compared to KIRK HAMMETT'S.................









KIRK HAMMETT IS GOD, JAMES IS JESUS

[kirk5]

It was definetely KIRK HAMMETT,when i heard him first time playing "One" solo.That did it for me.I also think there are lot`s of great players like Yngwie,Hendrix,Page,Blackmore,Slash etc.-but still Kirk is my favourite and unreplaceable.

Greetings to all Kirk Hammett fans!

[Kirk Hammett is God]

Kirk Hammett, definitely. And as I have made clear many times on the site: there is and never will be anyone better than Kirk!

[dvdbaum]

David Gilmour, Rodger Water, Nick Mason...need I say more? I've been on a Pink Floyd kick for some time and I can't seem to get off...hmm, maybe I should lay off the wacky tobaccy?

[MaxMcD]

had to be hendrix

[NegativeCrp]

Hendrix was amazing. But SRV just blew me away

[Steal Duck]

A totally unfanous jazz/bluesguitarist from Denmark called Uffe Steen Jensen

[Zeppelin]

for me it would be brian may playing i want it all
blackmore playing highwaystar on made in japan
jimmy page playing black dog and angus young with whole lotta rosie from the live album from 1992

[biosmaster]

yngwie is insane he still blows my mind!
but there are a lot of mad guitarists that come close

[Riffs]

Jimmy Page! My favorite!

[GreenwoodFracture]

It wasn't really a guitarist that blew my mind, but a bassist. The legendary Cliff Burton of Metallica(god rest his soul.) He just totally blew my mind. He was the **** of all ****s. I swear, this man was god. If there was a god, it was Cliff Burton
