    The Edge.

    He's got a cool name, he must be good.

    He must be bloody good, then...

    Slash is a bad name

    Where I come from it means to have a wee.

    Jeff Loomis: He's so good, he doesn't need to be dead to have a tribute.

    It follows, then, that you believe him to be a rather pissy guitar-player.

    Slash and the Edge are not great they are just in well known bands.

    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.

    He throws off a new noodle of some type every time he plays.

    I am an avid fan.

    My boy had been learning guitar for about a year when I got the Live Aid DVD set for Father's Day.
    The first thing I watched was Queen, then showed him Dire Straits performance of Sultans Of Swing. He was suitably impressed.

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