I have not heard too many of the modern guitarists. When I was young Jean Django Reinhardt was recognized as the best player ever. I liked Waylon Jennings who played for Buddy Holly and later became a big country star in his own right.

Very good guitarists in the style heavy,rock :D ,Your list he me pleases particularly Angus Young - AC/DC,Brian "Head" Welch - KoRn

Dead - Stevie Ray Vaughan
Alive - Eric Clapton

Your opinion of your favorite will depend on the music you like, of course.

Jimi Hendrix

Les Paul, Jan Akkerman and Victor Wooten.

Corey Beaulieu & Matt Heafy of Trivium.

I think Joe Satriani is the best guitar player eva.

Armik is one of the Best!

it's a pretty hard question to answer. 'best' can be taken a million ways.

Tommy Emmanuel from Australia, i will let other choose rock guitarist.

You have reason, there are many excellent guitarists, the idea is which is your favorite? And maybe is able to discover ,guitarist that I am getting lost of listening :D

Slash - Just listen to Use Your Illusion I & II and you'll see. :)

There's too many good ones to raise one over others.

:D

tom morello is my favorite by far. i love the groove to his playing. he also approaches the guitar in a unique way which is probably best for setting him apart from other axe-slingers.

'who is your favorite guitar player' would've been a more appropriate title then. i really dislike serious 'best guitar player' discussions: too subjective. if you look at one aspect of it like speed or innovation then that type of stuff can be rated i guess, but 'best' is too general to rate imho.

Hello people,

Slash - Guns N`Roses
Angus Young - AC/DC

and much more players.........;)

:gunsmilie

michael schenker

best ever Hendrix.

best living guitarists Buckethead :cool:

Jimi Hendrix, Randy Rhoads...

So many good ones,......

I would pick Afronaut formerly known as Guitar Slinger :whistling

Last saw Tomatito perform live (with michel camillo) great concert but men can he play the guitar :01:

eddie van halen

john mayer

It depends on the genre and the taste. I love such weirdos like Buckethead or Les Claypool (on bass). Pat Metheny, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Hendrix, Muddy Waters, Al Di Meola, Zakk Wylde, Tsuneo Imahori...they are my favourites, true legends.

:ermm: I guess no one has heard or seen Jeff Beck play? He doesn't even use a guitar pick. :D

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.
