Cool. I have to say, I'm not a massive fan of metal. The Limp Bizkit singles are about as far into that as I go. And I do like the more melodic solos like that of Slash and others. My favourite guitarist is... John Squire. Heard of him? He's done it all from Simon and Garfunkel-esque songs to the best Blues Rock I've heard since Jimmy Page. I do want you to bear in mind that my experience of flash guitarists is limited to Hendrix, Slash and Van Halen, though. I can play guitar to a fairly good level but I don't want to get too extravagant unless I can make it sound interesting to the non-guitarist. I am going to look into the likes of Satriani and Vai so then I'll be able to keep up to date.

Also, does anyone know any decent slide licks? Any style really. I want my slide playing to be as varied as possible.
