I have and will always admire all the big names such as Gilbert, Satriani, to Malmsteen, EVH, Slash petrucci..etc.. and also the likes of Govan, Thammarat, Guerra and such...but i guess the reason i started playing and loving the guitar is watching that IBY JEM 7wh being manhandled by Steve Vai himself..hehe..yeah so i guess
Vai is my GuitarHero...who's yours?
