Which one would you take if you had to deicide on the most skilled german guitarist in your opinion. If you chose Other explain who's you favourite. The guitarist can be russian or something else. You can vote for him as long as he plays in a german band(for example Victor Smolski and Mille Petrozza aren't german) or he is reallygerman.
I vote Victor Smolski because you only have to listen to him. He's amazing with Rage and solo. Then Matthias Jabs.

What? Mille Petrozza was born in Germany wasnt he? lol

Anyways, Im going for Mille, even though he isnt as technically gifted as some other german guitarists. Mainly because he is a great rhythm guitarist. xD

Olbrich because he's a great rythmic guitarist, and he does pretty cool solos as well.

You Forgot imporatnt guitarists man, and I don't want to vote for "Other" cause I think it sucks!
Kai Hansen
Rock n' Rolf
Mikael Weikath
Roland Grapow
Sascha Gernstner

Mille Petrozza....I want to concude that case. If you're born in a country,you grew up in that country and you live in this country, you're from that country. Basing your criteria on blood ancestry is quite ...well...Shocking to me.

And yeah he is an awesome rythm guitarist.

I went with Andre because, as a guitarist, I absolutely worship (in an admiring way) his playing style. But if he wasn't on the list then it would be Uli without a doubt. That man plays in such a unique fashion you cannot help but to be impressed. Both amazing guitar players that deserve respect.

Matthias Jabs is the virtuoso! he's my favorite Guitarist in the world and in Germany, then comes Uli Jon Roth especially for his unique solo on Sails Of Charon...you also forgot the legend Wolf Hoffman from Accept. amazing guitarist by all standards...Roland Grapow is great so is Weikath and Kai. also Henjo Richter of Gamma Ray is amazing!

First I thought Mille would come from Italia. but my mistake. And I cannot put every skilled guitarist in this list. That's impossible. I think Germany has so many great muisican if you make a list and put them all in the list it would be countless times bigger than mine. Rock n' Wolf? I only know Rock n' Rolf or Rolf Kasparek who is already in this list.

Stupid poll. If you knew anything about guitar you would have hardly omitted Michael Schenker and Wolf Hoffmann in favor of Petrozza and Kruspe. At least as far as "skill" goes, which is a stupid way of measuring musicians in any case.

I'm Sorry of being so stupid lol.
Okay Kruspe was a bad idea but i wanted to see how much points he would get. Because i saw on an other website a similar thread where many people voted for him(probably because Rammstein is popular). I mean if you think a guitarist is missing in this list just write who is your favourite. I just put some guitarist in this list who aren't really that bad.

Runing Wild is there. Rolf Kasparek or other people know him under the name Rock N' Rolf. Grave Digger? Manni Schmidt for example? And i'm sorry I've never listened to Accept before.

Kai Hansen ofc, the one, only, and probably most influential guitarist when it comes to power metal.

1. Kai Hansen
2. Marcus Siepen & Andre Olbrich
4. Piet Sielck

Michael Schenker not even mentioned in the options to vote on? What the fuck? He is one of the best, if not the best, and one of the most important German guitarists ever.
The only one up to his level is Uli Jon Roth.
Having the Rammsteing guy in the poll is just laughable.

Okay I understood. But in a former comment i explained why i put him in. I was interested who would vote him. I don't see him as a guitar legend, too. And I'm sorry that i forgot Michael Schenker. I also like Kai Hansen. I like the other Helloween guitarist, too. Roland, Sascha and Michael.
