fixed.

Hendrix/Trower/Marino -hazy, dreamy blues
Hetfield/Mustaine -extra crunchy rhythm
Iommi -menacing doom riffs, melodic bluesy leads
Wino - overall song writing/ wah
Lemmy - larger than life persona
partscaster> Laney AOR

No, I meant Gary Miller AKA Dr. Know, the guitarist from Bad Brains. This guy:

No worries! Also, your naming of Wino makes you a winner in my book. That dude is a hero.

In fact, for the photo in your avatar, of Lemmy and Wino together, Dave Grohl's entire musical career is validated. :thu:

Whittling it down to 5...that's tough...

EVH, Trey Azagthoth, and Paul Gilbert are probably the most obviously plucked out from my playing...but Marty Friedman, Malmsteen, Chuck Schuldiner, Hetfield, Jon Schaffer, Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, hide, Andre Olbrich, and Kai Hansen probably all had similar levels of impact on my development.

It's fairly hard to limit them to five, but a list of five at the moment off the top of my head I'd go with

Adrian Smith & Dave Murray (can't separate these two!)
Vinnie Moore
George Lynch
George Harrison
Vito Bratta

the Maiden duo will be on the list any given time but the rest can vary, quite a bit too!
