As a rhythem Guitarist there is no better, his solo live acoustic version of Pinball Wizard is breath-taking. :drink:

 

[hm2.0]

Allan Holdsworth.

Listen to Road Games.:toast:A great fusion album before his indulgence w/ the SynthAxe.

 

[Factor15]

Still say Yngwie Malmsteen unless proven otherwise

 

[GoGoBird]

The Edge. Nobody has accomplished so much with less.
Created sounds far unique then anyone in a long time.

 

[Journeyman]

good point Edge never gets much credit for his unique sound.

 

[ProPokerPlayer]

I'd vote for Johnny Marr.... but if you really want to hear an amazing talent search for Adrian Legg.....hell dont search go to adrianlegg.com

 

[WCBias]

Neil Schon of course

Neal Schon really is a great guitarist. He gets scoffed at by some because of the Journey thing, but he was a 15 year old kid playing at Woodstock with Santana and Clapton wanted him to be in Derek and the Dominos.

 

[Buster]

wow all these post and not one mentions eddie van halen.what a shame how far he has fallen

 

[BASEHEAD]

Jimmy Page

And heres your winner!!!!!!!

Come on folks. JPJ was no joke on the bass either but Im guessing were talking lead man here.

 

[WCBias]

Jimmy Page was a wizard in the studio. One of the sloppiest guitarists live, and I'm a huge Zep fan. I'm sure the drugs had a lot to do with it.

 

[DungBeetle]

Sam Bush

Wow, Winbet remembers my 2nd Favorite Rory. My first is Stevie Ray and he is dead also. Was at his last show at Alpine Valley when he crashed.

I like Clapton.

TIE:

Carlos Santana and David Gilmour

 

[phdinsports]

Wow can't believe no ones mentioned Jeff Hanneman, or KirK Hammett!!!!!!

Most underrated, Robby Krieger (listen to wild child, or spanish caraven) and Billy Duffy (the whole electeric album some of the best riffs ever!!!!)

 

[billhill999]

I like Clapton.

Slow hand is talented but overrated as a 'superstar guitarist'

 

[TescoVee]

Robert Fripp

 

[WCBias]

I agree with the hype. He has listened to the greatest and learned from the old blues boys. Robert Jackson, Muddy Watters, and B.B.

Just appreciate the type of music. There are many more better players out there but lack the history and the genuine feel.

Nothin like the blues.
