Reviving this thread from the dead.
Page after page of great guitar players but no mention of George Lynch?
Mr. Scary is one of the best solos ever. Wicked Sensation includes one of the best opening licks ever. IMHO he is just as talented as EVH and should be on the list of top guitarists of all time.
By the way, RIP Jeff Healey. His awesome talent in the face of his disability was inspiring. Listen to his music first if you never have heard of him before looking him up.
