Watching video of Geordie playing really taught me to rethink how to use my right hand when playing a guitar, especially when syncopating palm mutes.His playing on Fire Dances and Extremities... is particularly bananas, almost oddly folk/prog underneath the wall of noise.If you're a fan, this website is a great resource for Killing Joke tabs:http://www.killingjoketabs.org.uk/

Eric Bachmann (Archers of Loaf) Saw them a few times back in the day but was more concerned with jumping around.On their recent reunion tour I saw them and watched him play. I was pretty blown away.A lot of parts and bits I assumed were Eric Johnson (the other guitarist in the band) was him.

Pete "Guitar" Lewis.21 pages and no Pete?! He played on the first recorded version of Hound Dog, sung by Big Mamma Thornton, in 1952. Walls of noise mixed with lines that sound like water down a mountain stream. Untouchable. Check him out:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZdWZPX ...

I am not sure if this one was covered. But Bob Dylan's acoustic playing on his early records at least is pretty great IMHO. Great shuffling rhythm, great tone.
