Joe Satriani is also one of my all time favorites. I don't like to see him get lumped in with "shredders" like Malmsteen, who does nothing for me. Satch uses speed when it is necessary, but also puts tons of emotion in his songs. Listen to "Rubina" from the Time Machine album. Great ballad.

Thank you very much! I happen to like Joe very much too. If I had the choice of being able to play like any 1 guitarist of my choice, it would be Joe. He can fly on the fretboard but he can also play just a few notes ang get a lot of feeling. He just can't be classified as a shredder. He does have a lot of feeling in his playing. I think Flying in a Blue Dream is a great album.
Anyhow, back to the topic. A few that don't turn me on...Curt Cobain, I just don't get it. Never got into Jimi Hendrix or Malmsteen and Santana does absolutely nothing for me.
