    Hey, here you can post who you think is the most skilled musician in their instrument(s).
    Not who makes the best music, but who can play the trickiest solo's/destroy the drums/ or play the most beautifull melodies.

    My opinion:

    Best Guitarists:
    1. Steve Vai
    2. Sinister Gates

    Best Drummers:
    1. The Rev. Sullivan (deceased recently)
    2. Lars Ulrich

    Best Bassists:
    1. Flea
    2. Les Claypool
