Vote! If your fav isn't listed, write ↓down there↓ PS. This is my first poll so don't flame me very much if if I did something wrong..

The guitarists I chose are maybe not the best ones and yes I took Hammett too. So what. Just vote for YOUR fav. World is full of guitar gods, some famous, some not. I made this list by my own knowledge and took some names from a few years old top 100 guitarist voting by an american magazine.

THIS LIST IS A COMPROMISE, U can blame me if your fav isn't inluded, cause I wrote Malmsteen wrong, cause I forgot Dimebag (sry..), or if you hate Hammett, but I won't care. Pity.

I voted for Satch.
As a matter of opinion, I would have put Eric Johnson, Eric Clapton , Ottmar Liebert or Mike McCready on the list before Kirk Hammett.

edit - thanks, forgot about SRV (and a lot others, but you know)

Come on... Satriani taught Vai how to play... Satch is a true master...Vai is a wanna be and slightly off kilter... Heard his stuff lately? True wacko out in left field.

Steve Vai, the guy is amazing!!!! The best thing he has ever done was the album Love & Religion, Devin Townsend kicked ass on his side!!!!!

And off course my favorite band COB with Alexi "Wild Child" Laiho!!!
Only Vai matches this guy in solo´s!!! "Every Time I Die"  "Children of Bodom" are proofs for that!!!!!!
1 month and I get to see them!!! YEHAAAAAAA!!!!! (Or YAMAHA as Spelling check says!!!!! )

And lets not forget Yngvie with the excellent album "Rising force"!!!!!

and satriani pretty much ripped VH off, he is the pioneer of that style, not satriani, and VH is much better at it too

Satriani also began teaching guitar, with his most notable student, at this time, being fellow Long Island native Steve Vai.
His most notable California students included: Kirk Hammett (Metallica), David Bryson (Counting Crows), Kevin Cadogan (Third Eye Blind), Larry LaLonde (Primus), Alex Skolnick (Testament), Phil Kettner (Laaz Rockit) and Charlie Hunter.
Satch is awesome. I can't believe Hammett was included on this list. Up until the black album, Hetfield played all his solos for him in the studio, he was basically there to show up in concert. Alex Skolnik is waaay underrated too.

However, I voted other for Eric Johnson. Half of being a great guitarist is writing great music, not just ripping as fast as you can. Listen to some Vinnie Vincent if you just want speed and technique.

I chose Hendrix, but where's Robert Johnson? He got his skills by selling his soul for fucks sake.
