 it's true! Lifeson is in second place, and should technically be in last.
 
Pentatonic, thats all he plays, every solo is sloppy (except la villa strangiato), and not well thought.


What's the problem with the pentatonic??

Jimmy Page and Stevie Ray Vaughan, just to name a few were KINGS of the pentatonic!

And, BTW, I vote for PETRUCCI! The best guitarist I've heard to come out on the 90s, IMO. Clap

Livgren.  Check out the first Proto-Kaw album, the demos from 71-73.  Mind-bogglingly good!

Well they're all great players but I would want Alex Liefson in my band. Not the most technical player in your list but he always has a great sound, well most of the time and is pretty versatile.

Good pollThumbs%20Up Yorkie.....at least something different !! no best of GENESIS or YES for once

OLDFIELD and LIVGREN go to the finals  and the winner is........
 
......MIKE OLDFIELD as he is very ''useful'' for a man working in one man-band doing 100% of the chores.Big%20smile

This should be interesting,  remember vote for the individual not the band they are from.     Was originally meant to be a oldfield verses lifeson poll but I thought I`d spice it up a bit
