5. Micheal Amott (Arch Enemy)
4. Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin)
3. Steve Vai
2. Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine... you should see what weird sounds he can produce with a guitar.)
1. Alexi Laiho (Children of Bodom)

Limiting to just 5 is insanely hard... I love a lot of different styles and would like to mention others like Eric Johnson, Shawn Lane (omg he owns although he has fat hands), Andy McKee, Malmsteen, Petrucci, etc etc etc.

Rory Gallagher in my opinion was the best guitarist that ever lived. The things he did was absolutely mind-blowing. He's the biggest reason why I picked up the guitar.

2. Joe Satriani

3. Willie Adler (Lamb of God)

4. Jimmy Page

5. Dave Mustaine
