The Dink Network

I think guitarists like Satriani, Vai, Johnson and Clapton are overrated. Yes, they're technically brilliant, but can they come up with good tunes? Not often, I'd say.

My favorite guitarists? Johnny Greenwood (Radiohead), Slash (Guns n' Roses), Kirk Hammet and James Hetfield (Metallica), Jimi Hendrix and Adam Jones (Tool). Ritchie Blackmore is an awesome player too, not only because of his efforts in Deep Purple, but also his entirely different style in Blackmore's Night.
