OT Best guitar players all time!

[louisvillekid]

Jimmy Page is my .02 vote, but i generally hate lists and rankings of this nature. there are way too many great ones to name just one as the best of all time.

[john pavlic]

They say there was a jam session between, eddie, eric steve, and frank zappa, that must have beena trip. Steve Vai says he was doing fingertapping before all of them just eddie became more advanced then he was first

[zerocage]

there are under rated death metal guitarist too...

I just live here now - but Warren is big around here and so is the Christmas Jam and his charitable work with Habitat for Humanity. Haynes is playing Bonaroo this year.

Ace Frehley

Nobody else is even close.

I cant believe no one has mentioned John Petrucci yet. Guitarist from Dream Theater. Others:

Eric Johnson
Paul Gilbert
Vai
Satch
SRV
Clapton (was extremely impressed after seeing him live)

[DrunkenLullaby]

Maybe not the best, but vastly underrated: Steve Bartek

[20Four7]

Hendrix
SRV
Clapton

Top 3 not even close. Hendrix did things with the guitar no one has ever done since. I saw concert footage of him at the rock and roll hall of fame on a big screen with dolby sound. I could have sat there all day.

Tommy Emmanuel

Yes, tommy emmanuel is the most impressive player i have ever seen. He does things i didnt know where possible on the guitar.


Derek Trucks is equal if not better than the other greatest slide guitar player, Duane Allman.
