I'm surprised it took thirty posts for Beck's name to come up.

Other favorites would be...
-Danny Gatton
-Brian May
-Walter Becker (Steely Dan)
-Roy Buchanan

Skay Beilinson

There are many. I couldn't name just one.

@fletcher, did you imply that you need a pick to be good?


hands down best guitarist of our time is jeff loomis, all the styles he plays are amazing and im an open minded guy, but my mind's made up about the topic of "best guitarist"

currently learning the solo to "born", jesus christ how can someone play that fast that clean and make it sound good instead of a slur of notes

note: i said of our time, he IS the next jason becker

How about David Gilmour or Leo Kottke?

I tell you how: He plays on his instrument even on the toilet since he was 5 or so. Thats the secret of speed.

Marty Friedman, Dave Mustaine, Kirk Hammet are some of my favourites

My favorites are Aaron Fink, and Benjamin Burnley from Breaking Benjamin and Matthew Sanders, and Synyster Gates from a7x.
