Vai ftw!

Dimebag should be there.

Zack Wylde

Joe Satriani all the way he taught Steve Vai, Kirk Hammet, and Alex Skolnik from Testament. ( also a kick ass guitarist)

Robert Fripp
Jimi Hendrix
Jimmy Page

seriously though, cut to about 2:40, and 4:00 on this one, most people don't know about this kinda charo



it's way too hard to pick one though, steve vai and clapton are equally talented, yet their styles are so vastly different

hendrix had no tonal control, a bunch a squeachy squeachy


good thing I can't be negged anymore

I never claimed to play, but I know that most of his stuff that I hear literally makes my ears hurt, im referring to live performances (I usually go by live shit when talking about artists), mastered songs were ok (like wind cries mary), but when he was onstage it was all a bunch of wandering/scraping/heavy attack shit, it just seems that it became fashionable to praise him to be "in" with counterculture, like those hippies from widespread, hendrix just seems to have an overblown reputation, but then i guess it had alot to do with the equipment he had, distortion is one thing, but attacking the hell out of something, damn

Slash!

Iam glad somebody said him well done m8 he should be in top 10 and Crossroads was awesome the dual owned it

I believe the greatest guitarist would be Jimmy Hendrix just for his natural ability, Technically it would have to be Steve Vai who was taught by Joe Satriani (I think I'm Right). Steve Vai can do things with a guitar that seem impossible (with out the use of about 10K worth of effects).

Thank god. I was fearing i'd see a poll full of people in punk rock bands and crap, but when I saw Satch, Vai, 'Halen and Yngwie... nice to see some people who share my taste.

As for replies....

There are to many guitarists to name and the list doesn't have some eg. Micheal Angelo Batio. Ps: Malmsteen's first name is spelt Yngwie and pronounced Yingvé

Thank you so much for mentioning MAB. I've got 2nd row tickets to Yngwie in November too, it's gonna kick ass. I bought my tickets straight after I went to see Billy Sheehan, Stu Hamm and Jeff Berlin in Bx3, the bassists' G3.

Good taste, man.

Hmmm, I'm thinking maybe Randy Rhodes.

Rhoads. Randy Rhoads. Randi Rhodes is a talk show host. But yeah, he's great. Although around the Kirk Hammett level of fame but less technicality, he's awesome.

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.

Definately. Hammett may be famous but he's definately sub-parr when compared.

Tom Morello Over All

He's innovative, unique and a pionerr, and definately is one of my favorite, but his lack of technicality lowers his position a bit.

Tim McIlrath is the best. He is the lead in rise against he pwns all others

I'm still waiting for that invention which allows me to stab you in the face over the internet.


Who here is going to see G3 2006? I know there are a lot of Aussies here... I would go myself as the plane ticket ain't too much but it's early and I'd have school.

In that list are missing:
-DIMEBAG DARRELL (THE BEST EVER)
-SRV
-SLASH
-ANGUS YOUNG
