My favourite guitar player of all time has to be Steve Gaines... career tragically cut short in the plane crash that killed other members of Lynyrd Skynyrd :(
He wasn't part of their original line up but joined through his sister Cassie, who was a backing singer and who also tragically died in the crash.
For any of his solo's just YouTube him, there are thousands of clips of him playing and when people talk of emotion in their playing, just watch him get engrossed in his music. Tbh, any one of Lynyrd Skynyrd's guitarists could easily have been in the greatest guitarists of all time, Gary Rossington or Allen Collins were equally as good. Even now people are still trying to play Freebird, everyone knows the guitar rifts of Sweet Home Alabama, and one of the best guitar solo's I've heard Steve Gaines ever play was in T for Texas.
Top class guitarist, but rarely if ever mentioned in these sorts of thread.
Jimi Hendrix, hands down
page , jimmy page
Joe Satriani
Santana
John Antony Frusciante the best guitar player looool u must be joking
best guitar player: Slash(guns n roses)
gary moore ,kirk hammet, joe satriani
It's cheesy, but its Hendrix!
Rock players... Steve Vai, Richie Blackmore, Richie Ranno (Starz), almost every guitar player that was in Thin Lizzy (Scott Gorham, Brian Robertson, Gary Moore), Ace Frehley (very underrated), Brian May, (no one mentioned Ted Nugent?) and of course the Jimis, Hendrix and Page for innovting most of it...
Blues & Jazz there are simply too many good players to pick out a 'best'
Joe Satriani for me
My best Guitar Player is David Gilmou
Agreed. David Gilmour.
Carlos Santana is the best .
hendrix THE BEST !
I love David Gilmour but i couldnt say best of all time... he did amazing things with the guitar b/c he made you feel the music but honestly it was kind of like a cleaner version of the hendrix(in that it had a lot of emotion behind it) and since he was neither the pioneer of that style nor the best at it its hard to call him the best... he also had the benefit of being surrounded by other very talented musicians
If i were to pick a best tho i'd have to put buckethead up there, dude is ridiculous even if he is a complete wackjob
maybe i missed it but im sad i havent even seen clapton mentioned in this thread as well as others such as Yngwie Malmsteen
and if we were gonna go with pioneers which is what sets Jimi Hendrix apart can Les Paul get a little love i mean cmon...
Hard arguement i must say i also love me a little Zach Wylde lol
I've always liked Mark Knopfler's style of play.
Joe Satriani
David Gilmour the best !
Jimmy Hendrix or Jimmy Page may be
jimmy handrix is the one
jimmy handrix
django reinhardt of course.

Jimmie Hendrix
hendrix and satriani
Who could go wrong with Jimmy Hendricks!? He was one of the first left hand guitarists!
Jimmy handrix with no doubt
maybe too "new" for being the best of all time, but I think Paul Gilbert is the best :)
Joe Satriani
for me the best is mattrach ^^ young but very good guitarist :D
with the time goes on ,I believe there will be many good players in the future.but in the past there also have some good players that I love,such as John Frusciante ,Stevie Ray Vaughan,Jimi and Robert
Hendrix
No, Jimi Hendrix came before him.Quote:

I am stuck between Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, Eddie Van Halen or Dweezil Zappa. Most of them old school guitarists
If we are talking about the best guitar player of all time, that can be a close call. You've got Herman Li from DragonForce. The rock legend Angus Young from AC/DC. Of course, no one can argue with Jimi Hendrix either.
Not enough love for John Petrucci here!
1st Jimmy hendrix !!!!
2nd Ritchie blackmore
jimmy hendrix is best
he is god of guitar
Jimmi Hendrix ist no 1
and I love style from Mark Knopfler ( Alchemy)
