Lil' Wayne has an unmistakable tone.
Most recognizable guitar tones?

I hate Alexi's tone.
Dude was a guitar god, but he took the whole "you need mids to cut through the mix" and "low end is the bass' duty" to the extreme and not in a good way.

As soon as I saw the title I immediately thought of two people. Dime and Carlos Santana. I'm glad they both made the list, but Brian May ahead of Dime? Tf?

Well, Brian May's tone is like 180 degrees the opposite of Dime's, LOL.

Overall, that list isn't horrible. There's a few choices I can't say I agree with.
Also I think you have to consider Eric Johnson, Hetfield, Tosin, & Meshuggah. You pretty much know when you hear them, or someone trying hard to mimic their sound.

YOU DIDN"T NEED TO POST IT I WAS ALREADY LISTENING TO IT BASED ON YOUR LAST POST!
Just kidding. Heck yeah, great jam. I passed high school psych class and the teacher loved me best because I loved Allman Bros and Band of Gypsys at the Fillmore. He hated everyone else, lol.

I'm not sure but on wang dang live was that Derrick playing the first half of the solo? After it builds to a crescendo and they play those power chords and the guitar comes in with the hammer ons....notice how bassy it is? I think that's actually when Ted comes in on his birdland. Hell my favorite pert is Derrick....if that's the case....I just always suspected that....Where's Carl? He would know.....

100% agreed. Makes you want to give up playing guitar when you first hear it. It was just one of those special cuts caught on tape because if you listen to some of the other takes they released later, while they are good, this one is exceptional and in a class of it's own. A single take. Outstanding. The whole Radio One album is really very good.
