I'm still not sure as to the real topic....I mean thread title and initial posts give contradicting messages...anyways, it might be about personal preference.

I didnt have time to think about the exact order, so that is roughly my opinion of it.

Paul McCartney is a bassist.

That probaböy means he must be really ****ing good if he even beats guys with an Instrument he doesn't play....

So, anyways here is my list:

Jimi Hendrix
Steve Vai
Van Halen
George Harrison
Johnny Marr

I don't know any more guitarists ....weep

Yeah, Metheny is the shit. Great jazz guitarist. Personally prefer John McLaughlin as far as jazz guitarists go, though.

for me it is a cross between Daron Malakian and Pete Townshend

I quite like James Iha also.

James Iha is absolutely dreadful and is one of the few people I would genuinely advise to stop writing music.

It's not my opinion that he's not one of the best guitarists of all time, it's a fact.
