I was going to say Tom DeLonge too among others

Miyavi I thought was really cool when I first saw him, ever since than I wanted a black acoustic guitar

If you’re into technical stuff, I highly suggest berried alive. I’m pretty sure syn is a fan of him and he just released a signature that is

HOW DID I FORGET JOHN PETRUCCI

 

[Joseph Freeman]

Jason Becker, Marty Friedman, Guthrie Govan, Synyster Gates, John Petrucci, Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, Rick Graham, and likely many more than I am missing but these are my absolute favorites in order

 

[Kyle Roberts]

Synyster gates the 2010 era when I first heard afterlife and bat country were the first times I decided I had to pickup a guitar and I always thought the eye shadow lines he did were kinda cool lol. The chaotic and melodic lines he comes up with have always been a hook for me in music.

Dimebag for just the absolute brutal play style he had and an overall joy for life and playing guitar. I don’t want to be a copy of another player but if I could emulate his play style I would be more than happy

James hetfield for his crushing riffs and his overall stage presence when he plays live. If I ever start playing shows I’d aspire to do something like he has or in a similar way without guitar Corey Taylor when he does his acoustic sets, after trying to learn to play and sing it’s added a whole new level of respect and appreciation for those guys and what they do.

 

[Dk6661]

My favorites are:
Synyster gates (obviously)
Jacky vincent
Jake pitts
Jinxx
Matt tuck
Michael paget
Alexi laiho
Marty friedman
Tim henson
Jason becker
Each of them inspired me in some form or another I love all of them

 

[ari.mac]

Syn
Slash
James Hatfield
Jimmy Page
John Petrucci
Steve Vai
Bill Hudson
Zacky V and Frank Iero, I think they are underrated honestly, I love their palying so here they are

I'm sure I have many more that I'm forgetting right now
