excellent post. yknow who i really like? jon levasseur & chuck schuldiner. dont think their chops would hold up as contenders for #1 guitarist ever...but those guys could wreck a set of strings, rhythm or solo
Steve Vai Jeff Beck Jimmy Page Stevie Ray Vaughn Alex Leifson EVH Satrianai Hendrix Steve Howe Just rock guitarists .....so many other even more technically amazing guys/girls out there...too many to list..
https://youtu.be/Sc8VJXrpmtU Young Jimmy Page, interesting short interview.... https://youtu.be/G7B767HYUqQ Then....
José Feliciano Most people know him for his spanish balads (and the "Feliz Navidad" song) but he's an amazing guitarist Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix Jose Feliciano Jose Feliciano - Billy Jean
Like this?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cIi9WJ35Hs Guthrie is definitely one of my favs.....but its not till you see him interact with other muso's that you see him shine.......The Aristocrats are amazing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cIi9WJ35Hs Marco and Bryan are beasts in their own right. as for my other "most excellent" picks (lol) Yngwie, Joe Satriani and Mark Knopfler all helped greatly to shape my playing to some degree
Gotta give Rhoads a nod here... One of my biggest influences. I'm surprised though that no one has mentioned Andy James. Look him up on youtube, hes an insane player. Since I forgot my password and the email I used to register my old account I'm stuck on this newbie account so I can't post links yet but go to you tube and type in andy james time and time again. I feel this track really demonstrates his talents.

After learning about guitar modes recently and seeing how Joe Satriani applies them on the fly anywhere on the fretboard i have to say Satch is the man.
Prince is another great guitarist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7INsVaR-S-w (Notice the young Harrison in the vid.)
For me Jimmy Rosenberg is by far the best. And it's a joy to here him play with his brother Nomi. https://youtu.be/tAD63neLS5s
http://tvpot.daum.net/v/vbcb1xTxsTx1376oU2s96C2 Best performance on a guitar ever IMO. (sorry about the site, watch him play tho its unreal) EDIT: Here is IMO the best solo instrumental performance (Eric Johnson): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15eu7ar5EKM
Search this thread "Mustaine". 0 results found... Really, this got to page 6 without anyone writing that name to this thread. If not the best, he definitely should be mentioned in this thread. Dave Mustaine
