Re: Best Guitarists ever
There are 2 types of Best Guitarists Ever.

1. The technical whiz that plays 1,000 mph with zero feeling.

2. The guitarist that moves your soul.

I'll take, as an example, John Lennon playing the 2 chords of Paperback Writer over any of these Vai,Mamstein,Satriani whiz bang assholes with their 50 pedals and over modded rigs.

Re: Best Guitarists ever
No contest... Hendrix.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 48658616


Hendrix has been quoted as saying, that Alvin Lee of Ten Years After was the best.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74868276


I heard him say Rory Gallager was the best guitarist he ever heard.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6176722


it´s no secret, hendrix like clapton,
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75394677


Hendrix voted for Clapton.

Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughn are close 1 and 2.

Hendrix 3rd.

Vivaldi 4th.

The most underrated guitarist... Nick Drake. Nobody sounded like him and he's one of my favorites... check him out.

Re: Best Guitarists ever
Uncle Ted! Often overlooked for his place among the legends of rock & roll guitar where he most definitely belongs!


 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76534884


Michael Bruce from Alice was the genius behind all the songs. Alice would come up with nonsensical lyrics or change ones already penned by someone else. Glenn did his thing, but he was written the melodies or even most it the notable riffs. A lot of that guitar work that people assume was Glenn was not nessarily him. But the point is the House was built on a foundation Michael built. The songs have endured and are still popular and other bands, great bands cover them, that is the highest compliment.

Man, you all got most everyone that immediately comes to mind...

Not sure if anyone mentioned Steve Morse, (Albert Lee is no slouch here either).

Re: Best Guitarists ever
I'm not going to say he is the best ever but an often overlooked but brilliant guitarist is Lindsey Buckingham. Great vocalist as well.

Re: Best Guitarists ever
I saw the Dixie Dregs in Nashville at the June Festival and he blew me away.
Jazz, Blues rock....every scale I had ever studied he had mastered. No list is complete without Steve Morse.
Steve Morse. Steven J. Morse (born July 28, 1954) is an American guitarist and composer, best known as the founder of the Dixie Dregs; and since 1994, the guitar player of Deep Purple. Morse's career has encompassed rock, country, funk, jazz, classical, and fusion of these musical genres.

Watch a video, you'll see what I mean.
