    Brian May, for sure. While he may not be the fastest player around, he can work harmonies like no one else. I also like Vai and Jack White. Oh oh also Malmsteen.

    For a guitar player, I sure don't know a ton about famous guitarists. Pretty sad hahaha. But, I think Syd Barrett and Slash are amazing. Also, a more modern one completely separate from the other two: John Mayer. I saw him live and he's one of the best more recent guitarists, for sure. Dude can play.

    Give or take a few, this seems like an excellent list.
