Tremonti vs. Syn

For me it's Syn or John Mayer. If I have to pick one I'll just flip a coin to decide.

The thing is that these are usually fan voted and alter Bridge always shares them in their social media and avenged sevenfold and Syn don't do that so Mark will get more votes because of that

There seems to be a lot of respect for Mayer on the forum, surprised. You would definitely be leaning towards Syn though, I assume?

Nope, I honestly can't chose, look up Mayer's live performances! He does some amazing solos and improvised all of it.

It was recently that I started listening Alter Bridge/Tremonti stuff. Synyster Gates was my all time favourite guitarist. But now to be frank my favourite guitarist is Tremonti. He's a nice guy and he's so down to earth. And IMHO he really deserves the guitarist of the decade title. I love Syn without no doubt he's still my 2nd favourite guitarist of all time. But Tremonti is the man who deserves this recognition. He has really worked hard in this decade releasing 4 AB albums and 4 Tremonti albums. He does heavier stuff on his solo band and those riffs and solos are awesome. Not to mention that he also does melodic stuff on AB. And someone here said that Tremonti is a popular guitarist I can't agree with that because lots of people even haven't heard the name Alter Bridge, but everybody knows A7X. Syn is obviously the more popular guitarist out of both. AB is not a heavy metal band but their Songwriting is top notch (eg: Blackbird, Cry of Achilles, Fortress, The Last Hero). AB's singer Myles Kennedy also plays lead guitar and he's also an incredible guitarist (Slash has said that he gets guitar lessons from Myles Kennedy and Myles is technically better than him). If you're not familiar with Alter Bridge I request you all to listen them (AB is not heavy like A7X but still amazing). Myles Kennedy is obviously one of the best rock singers today. AB is so underrated and they are one of the greatest songwriters and musicians I know.

I don't doubt that Mark is a great guy, he seems it in interviews. But in terms of songs? Nope. Alter Bridge, musically aren't much different from Creed, and Creed wasn't all that impressive musically. The only difference is the singer. Stapp has a polarizing voice, so it's no wonder AB has gotten more respect as a band. I can't think of a single Tremonti related song that comes close to any A7X song I enjoy. Tremonti may be more technical, actually I really don't know, maybe they are on par, but Syn has the better songs, no question.

Say what? AB isn't musically much different from creed? LOL. This proves that you've not listened AB at all. Even some Creed fans hate AB because they changed their style. It's clear that you're trying to admit Mark doesn't deserve this title without listening his work properly. Go and listen Fortress album first.
