I picked James Hendricks.

-AC

Odie King of the Underworld

Eddie he is king of taping on the frets 🙂

Victor Von Doom Latverian Diplomat

Jimi- untouchable.

I'd go with EVH other than him.

if anyone picks anyone other than jim...they need the lads sent round to sort 'em out

knight AFL1-3603

Dave Davies (The Kinks)

It's_Alright Estranged...

Slash!

The Highlord Wanted Dead or Alive

IMO its a tie between, Slash and Halen, but Halen has something I dont know, its sorta like a never dying thing about him, also Jimi ofc inspired countless of musicians, and I accept him as a great player, but I like Halens playing better

I think it's asking a little much to put Slash and Young up there with Hendrix, Van Halen and Clapton.

Between Jimi, Eddie and Eric you have three distinct styles that are all beyond excepctional and all enjoyable to listen to, but I go with other.

Stevie Ray Vaughn is my favourite.

John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters should get an honourable mention somewhere (yeah I know they're blues, but whateva)

After visiting the EMP (Experience Music Project in Seattle) and going through the Jimi Hendrix section and reading about him/seeing footage of him playing live, I'm gonna have to go with him.

Pete Towshend is probably my favorite, but if we're talking about the best guitarist, I'd have to say Jimi or Eddie.

According to Hendrix it was Carlos Santanna 🙂

EVH is probably the best full package... for rhythm AND lead stuff... but the sheer talent of Hendrix crushes that!

Psycho Ninja Holy Vigilante

Of all time... Hendrix
Today.... Santana and Satriani
A few years from now.... Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Paul Gilbert

There are many skilled guitarists, but technical prowess without songwriting is horse shit !!!!

Just take a look at Yngwie Malmsteen, he plays like lightning but people piss on his CDs !!!

Clapton, Hendrix, Santana.... this dudes are 50%tech 50%emotion ....... plus 20% madness for Hendrix...

Some people even say that Hendrix is the guitar god that descended to earth for a while........

Paul Gilbert is possibly the best today. Quite likely.
