In terms of feel: Slash, incedible how he can bring emotions to his guitar.
In terms of technical style I wish to achieve: Marty Friedman, such an inspiring man!
In terms of total awesome fast rythm: James Hetfield, fastest downpicker in the world. If you don't know what I'm talking about here, just search for Fight Fire With Fire live in Mexico from 2009.

hey man James may be good but Kirk Hammet brings the Metallica feel
