Yeah but that's personal preference. You may like him that much, but factually he is nowhere even near Britain's best. He uses way too many effect and his guitar has about 90 different features to allow him to do that.

Many of the REAL greatest could make him look like an amputee with a Fisher Price guitar.

This is about overall. Matt Bellamy, regardless of how much you like him, isn't on the level praise at which you put him.

Influence is probably the best non-opinion-based factor to judge a mucisian.

And in that category, Hendrix wins hands down.

Alot of people are completely shallow about this 'best guitar player' business
But my list will probably piss some people off... but I can back myself up

TOM MORELLO (Rage Against The Machine/Audioslave) - he is constantly inventing new ways to conquer a guitar, ways that other guitarists can't understand

SYNYSTER GATES (Avenged Sevenfold) - he is the backbone of all A7X songs, he writes all the music for the guitars and he attended the Musician's Institute in Hollywood and graduated with a degree from the Guitar Institute of Technology sector of the program.

JIMMY PAGE (Led Zeppelin) - his writing is remarkable. Zeppelin riffs get stuck in your head for pretty much your entire life!

DIMEBAG DARRELL (Pantera/Damageplan) - I don't need to explain this one!

JIMI HENDRIX (The Jimi Hendrix Experience/Band Of Gypsys) - He was completely self-taught and one of the best improvisers of all time!

Finally, two guitarists I'm surprised weren't posted yet...
RANDY RHOADS (Quiet Riot/Ozzy Osbourne) - SHOULDN'T need to explain Randy!

ZAKK WYLDE (Ozzy Osbourne/Black Label Society) - the fastest fingers in the goddamn world! solos are godlike... he plays pinch harmonics better than ANY other guitarist!

I would like to add someone who wasn't on my list before that should be...

JEFF LOOMIS (Nevermore) - Ever heard of him? If you haven't, it's your loss... If all guitarists these days were like Loomis then I might actually be more interested in today's music... (He also made random apperances on Bam's CKY dvd's)

I don't care for anyone who associates themselves with that mug.

No, stop saying Synyster Gates just because you like him. He's nowhere near candidate for best guitarist ever, is he? No. Let's be realistic. He's nowhere near worthy of being mentioned with those names.

He's quite fast. So is Malmsteen, big deal.

I always thought these greatest threads were about the greatest, not "Name as many guitarists as you can".

I'm going to go with Hendrix, Satriani, and Vai in no order for various reasons. They're all 1A. Then there's a case that can be made for the 1Bs.

I'm an aspiring one-day great guitarist myself stick out tongue, been playing for 6 years...consider myself an intermediate...good enough to play in a rock cover band in bar and taverns....probably not going to get any better than that.

However, for those who think Angus Young of AC/DC is a good guitar player, you're unfortunately mistaken or can't see that he really doesn't play anything other than simple chords. Don't get me wrong, I like Angus, but the music of AC/DC I think is clouding some of your perceptions of Angus' playing abilities.

I often wondered why my guitar instructor asked me to listen to Angus first when I first started to pick up a guitar 6 years ago.....I know why, or knew so after 6 months....nothing he does is difficult.

This is what I mean.

"Synyster is the greatest ever, better than any other guitarist."

"Why?"

"Because I saw him live and I believe him to be awesome."

Irrelevant, he's not the best ever. Fact. Yes, fact.

Why are people just naming really good guitarists or guitarists they like? That's not the point of the thread.

The point of this thread is the greatest ever.

The only reason I named so many is because I couldn't decide which one was the best out of all of them... and what's your beef with Syn? you don't have to like A7X... but you should not try and get other people to live by YOUR opinion... do you play guitar AC? and did you read Synyster's credentials? I think you just have TOO much respect for the oldies! I mean don't get me wrong... I LOVE THE OLDIES (just check out my list above) and if they had the technology we did today, they'd be even better... but I'm not just talking ability... because that's not even half of it... I'm also speaking of writing ability and stage/studio presence... so just keep that in mind.
