Impellitteri blows 'em all away. Did anybody listen to the video I put up there? I do like Michael Angelo Batio's double guitar vid!

Willie Nelson

Alex Lifeson - Rush.

Joe Walsh

Matt Bellamy

Adrian Belew.

Roy Clark

Tim Reynolds is really awesome, I also think that Micheal Keene from the Faceless is really quite phenominal too. There is another guy that is dead, and can't remember his name but was very quiet and didn't like the media. Wish I could remember his name.

I vote thought for:

Joe Satriani

S.R.V. was great as well.

The balls in Guthrie's court.

Jack White. Done. Hendrix also

Robben Ford too

What a bullshit thread. There is no answer to this. All the guitarists mentioned are sensational players and aside from style and genre differences there is only millimeters between them talent wise. When talking about the caliber of guitarists listed here it pretty much comes down to personal preference.

Stupid, illogical and un winnable thread.

Should have been titled favorite guitar players.

That's who came to mind when I watched a little of that Jimmy Page video a few posts ago. Roy can run those scales twice as fast and a hell of a lot cleaner than Page was playing that. I love Jimmy Page's studio stuff, he was more influential to me than Hendrix. Electric guitars vary quite a bit in ease to play, a Les Paul is a hell of a lot harder to play than an SG, the same way a Tele is no match for a real Strat. As for what Satriani and Vai's instruments, they remind me of rubber bands.

some homeless man living in shitty conditions with a shitty guitar


there is always that homeless talented guy who blows out everybody
