My Guitar Heroes

How do you choose your fav guitar heroes..? The usual names would always be there like Hendrix, Gary Moore, Eddie Van halen and Slash.




What about a 10 year old korean boy playing U2, with or without you..?





Here's the kid again playing Pachelbel's Canon in D major with a veteran guitarist Trace Bundy. The piece is actually composed in 1680 to be played with 3 violins. Even veteran guitarist fear this song as it is very hard to play well.





This is what happens when 2 lead guitarist play a song...Don Ross and Andy McKee. Don Ross (with glasses) likes to tap his guitar front and sides for a percussion effect.
Ok...ok...so what if they look like nerds...





Nobody plays like Stanley Jordan. He taps guitars like a piano and can even play rhythm guitar and lead guitar at one time. We, normal guitar players play with 2 hands (one to pick and one to hold the notes) and use only one guitar.





A true guitar hero can even make a corny back street boys song into a concerto.
