Re: Your Top 5 guitarists/influences
I only have guitarists I like, as I've always failed miserably to sound anything like any of them. I haven't even so much as stolen a signature lick.
Slash inspired me to learn how to play guitar though.

The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: Your Top 5 guitarists/influences
Still I can't really play for shit, I just mess around on guitar so it's not like I would sound like any of these players But here are 5 who give me that "i want to play guitar like that" feeling.
Dean Ween,
Yamano Naoko (shonen knife)
Daron Malakian
Zacky Vengeance,
Kawakita Ryou (maximum the hormone).
(Edited. It's really hard to pick a top 5.)
