Go to any highly respected music school where they teach blues/rock guitar, or ask a music snob like Eric Clapton, and they'll more or less tell you something similar about some of the names mentioned in this thread.

Because this thread is about BEST guitarists, not who is good with a guitar.

Joe Satriani's name will keep popping up because he is still one of the best on the instrument.

well if 4 out of 5 people are going copy and past lists, what's the point of having this thread?

Jimi Hendrix
Jimmy Page
Johnny Marr
George Harrison
Eric Clapton

I like all from Kovacs86's list, but I thought I'd mention

Tony Iommi
Eddie Van Halen
"Fast" Eddie Clarke
Ritchie Blackmore
The 2 from Dragon Force

Jimi Hendrix IS the best though, no one can deny that.

One thing I find amusing about these types of threads is that when one person lists someone who noone has thought of before, the next few people tend to list that person too.

Well I'm not seeing Dick Dale, Albert King, Fred Frith, Bill Frisel, Keith Rowe, Glenn Branca, Lee Ranaldo, Thurston Moore, Andre Segovia, Stephen Malkmus, or anyone else who doesn't conform to rock radio hits post 1980 or uses unorthodox extended techniques.
