my guitar idols

Every guitarist has his or her own guitar idols.Some vouch for joe satriani's skills,some are totally in love with steve vai.Some just adore the bluesy solos of eric clapton and some just can't get enough of jimi hendrix.

These guitar gods just amaze you by their sheer talent and dedication towards their music.They make you realize the highest potential that a guitar can achieve.

So ladies and gentlemen i presnt to you,my guitar idols

1.Tom morello-When i heard Rage Against The Machine,i was blown away.these guys were a bunch of crazy musicians.But the way Tom Morello used his skills,the wierd sounds he produced from his guitar,man was i amazed or what!!!!!!!his works are the most inspiring for me.mr.morello,you did it for me.

2.Dallas Green--Dallas Green is not that popular in this part of the world(that is India),but he's like a parasite in my mind(and i hope in my other minds as well).Dallas Green is a part of a band known as Alexisonfire,an emo/post hardcore band from USA.Now this guy is really awesome on guitars and his sheer energy is something that sets him apart from others and he sings well too.his side project,City and Colour,is something worth listening to.Armed with just an acoustic guitar,this guy singlehandedly creates magic with City and Colour.He's truly brilliant

3.Mike Eingizer--Mike Einziger is the guitarist of Incubus,an altenative band from USA.this guitarist is one of the most versatile guitarists out there.he's played a lot of genres,funk,metal,alternative.mike is a good mix of rhythm and leads and uses his guitar effects really well.definitely an inspiration.

4.Jonny Greenwood---I must not have heard a lot of radiohead,but whatever I have heard ,I have immensely liked it.and a lot of credit goes to Jonny Greenwood,one of the two guitarists of Radiohead. He uses a lot of guitar effects to create a unique sound and there's no limit to his creativity.I can't explain what he does,just go listen to radiohead if you really want to understand what i'm trying to say.He's too good to be true.

So these are my guitar idols.These are the people who make me want to play the guitar forever.I thank all of you guys from the bottom of my heart.
