John Petrucci and Kirk Hammett are my guitar heroes. I think they're just extraordinary guitarists, and especially Petrucci; his work with Dream Theater is bloody awesome. I really want to be able to perform solos pretty well so I always aspire to play like those guitarists.

Infidel! Just listen to the solo in As I Am by DT - pure bliss. Flamenco sounds exotic but it doesn't get me going.
