I am gonna go with Joe Satriani.
I took satriani's video lessons online, the guy knows literally fucking every mode in every key and can play them all while changing the key, the way he thinks of the guitar is almost infinate.
I learned his sweeping style's and most the modes in the key E A and still learning from these videos by heart. I play mostly in E, C and A with F alot of the time in my stuff to make darker sounds in my metal making endeavors. Merging things together is the brilliance of Joe Satriani's ability.
For raw thrash that I really like and do my best to imitate alot of the time I am going to go with Dimebag Darrel believe it or not. I ordered a Dean Razorback with 81 and 85 EMG's with my winnings from the casino. I got the Dimne Slime if any of ya ever heard of it.
Guitar is my 2nd life and I spend about 4 - 6 hours a day playing. But those two guys are THE MOST Inspirational to me I seen them both Live, and Darrel's last performances with Damage Plan were his most remarkable of years and times. It's a dame shame some fucker killed him on stage.
