Slash is a bad name :no2:

irrelevant? probably.
It follows, then, that you believe him to be a rather pissy guitar-player. :)Quote:

As an ex muso from way back I always think that a great guitarist is one that invents their own style (sound) and is instantly recognisable.
Eg
Carlos Santana
Jimi Hendrix
Mark Knopfler
As for speed
Alvin Lee of Ten Years After was pretty fast.

I'll ad my sentiment to yours, as re: Knopfler.Quote:

I agree with all the above guitarists being great. and I would like to add Allen "robot" Van Wert. http://www.musichopper.com/
My boy had been learning guitar for about a year when I got the Live Aid DVD set for Father's Day.Quote:

I wouldn't say THE best, but John Petrucci is pretty good.
