Anders Bjorler and Patrik Jensen!

These dudes play thrash triplets like no ones business.

they showed me their technique once a few years ago which I still cant do smoothly.

they alternate triplets in this way the number represent each time the pick hits the string)

the first triplet:
1. down
2. up
3. down

the second:
1. up
2. down
3. up

then repeat 10,000 times!

this may not seem so hard but try it at 180-200bpm and you'll be surprised!

Claudio Sanchez (Coheed and Cambria) is an amazing rhythm guitarist. I doubt there are a lot of fans on here, but the complexity of what he's playing while he's singing vocal lines with completely different rhythms is impressive. Some of the runs in between riffs are more intense than what some modern "lead guitarists" play. His voice is an acquired taste.

is this for guitar only?

bob katsionis

those are piano influences where their right hand is just sick.

guitar wise.... jesus i'd be here all day. theres too many for me to pick a favorite. but the ones that stick out the most are blues players IMHO. theres alot of talent that stand above the rest in the prog metal area and classical area i frequently listen to, too many to list.

 

[Jay Strange]

Don Donegan from Distured is a pretty killa rhythm playa.
Adam Jones
Tom Morello
Dime
Mustaine
Gibbons
Page

 

[rocker]

The first rhythm player that came to my mind is Malcolm Young.

 

[Meathead]

If you listen to his rhythm playing, it grooves so well, and he plays very dynamic and has just the right amount of gain to be full sounding, yet you can still hear definition and clarity. He has 'THE' touch.

 

['63-Strat]

Yep, I took his advanced guitar styles class and his approach to rhythm is meticulous He also gets great tone even plugged into a keyboard amp
