I bet the ladies love him :D :D :D

Not Eddie Van Halen nor Gary Moore
-
All 3 are good but i'm not into screaming bleeding heart guitar myself, leaves me cold. Now a good rhythm guitarist or riff player does it for me ie Ronnie Wood.
Horses for courses. 8-)

I bet everyone has a different take on this. Not that keen on Yngwie, I think he sacrifices feel for speed.
On my list are:
Angus (phenominal to watch and hear live)
Jimmy Page (some of the best rythmn skills in rock)
Eddie Van Halen (phenominal rythmn guitar skills)
David Gilmour (the right note in the right place, every single time)
This clip is famous, but for those that haven't seen it, this kid looks like he is about 13. Good skills (I can forgive the odd bum note)...

Angus & Page, Yes.
The youtube clip was a little too "prog" for me but i still enjoyed listening to & watching the boy play. Best thing for me is he shows an understanding of real music not this club R&B GANGSTA Street rap crap that is in the charts & somehow passes as music today, & that is to be nurtured. If he never makes it big in a band he'll make a cracking session player.
Good on him. :)

got to agree Satriani was the lead of leads even influencing steve Vai but you really have to apreciate the technicality of his playing, not music in my humble opinion ::)

hendrix is the best ultimately because to be a great guitarist you have to be a great innovator, and hendrix is undeniably the best innovator. all modern rock guitar stems from his playing, even though he in turn was heavily inspired by the blues. even today his playing sounds fresh and awe inspiring.
playing quickly or 11,000 notes per second is not the mark of a great guitarist. gilmour, hendrix, all of these names never play particularly fast but they're better known and better regarded than many others (particularly those in metal or glam bands) for a reason... hooks and melodies form solos and sometimes this is lost in metal in favour of playing as many notes as you can in the shortest period of time.

agree with your sentiments entirely.although I think clapton may have innovated the sixties type guitar sound (blues/rock wah-wah etc;) and then hendrix instantly took at to another level that no-one else has ever got near.

and is keith emerson the jimi hendrix of the keyboards?!

Ry Cooder ( The guitarists guitarist )
Jeff " Skunk " Baxter ( Steely Dan )
Rory Gallagher
Oh and just listen to Joan Armatradings latest album " Into the Blues "
seen her last year and was knocked out.....
-
Rory Gallagher, now your talking. saw him live lots of times in Belfast.
Got his autograph when I was 14,and touched that famous strat.
Best live act I have ever seen,and imo the best slide player there has ever been. :y
-
Technically amazing, just think the 80s van halan sound has been done to death though.
This guy's pretty special. Went to see him last year and was truly incredible.

Had tickets for Taste in 1970 at Glasgow Greens Playhouse but it was cancelled but seen him at the renamed Glasgow Apollo in '73.
You're right he was an incredible live act.

Wondered these guys were going to get a mention. Saw Brian May in concert 2 weeks ago and he can still play. 8-) In fact, overall, I think he's my choice for the best. Not the fastest and fairly traditional but something happens to me when he strikes up one of his solos. I have a (rather aged!) friend who knew him when he was a kid and keeps on about how diappointed his Dad was when he dropped his studying for a career in rock music!
I was a bit dubious about going to see Queen post-Freddie but Brian May and Roger Taylor took much more of the limelight and most impressive it was - including Roger Taylor playing an electric double bass as a percussion instrument. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=8OYtBr0cZT8 8-)

Ooh, almost forgot. Steve Rothery of Marillion needs to be included IMHO.

SRV - never understood why his brother, who's still with the world, got so much attention. In the final concert he played before the helicopter crash Clapton didn't take the guitar break he was supposed to because Stevie was on fire.
I thought this was quite a neat trick:

srv was a great player.apparently he used very heavy strungs to get a better sound.He could do this because he developed callouses on his fingertips which made it possible to bend the thcker gauge strings.
apparently the callouses use to peel off mid performance,so he would super glue them back on and carry on playing. :o :o
Clapton has always been happy to let other guitarists take the limelight when playing on stage with them throughout his career,and on one occasion (at the brixton academy iirc) he did so with a young amereican kid who he had never actually heard or even met before the gig.He was assured the bloke was pretty special so he agreed to let him come on stage and do his thing,and thus the world was introduced to Jimi Hendrix. 8-) 8-)

Dont know if any off you have ever heard of this guy http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=HjXN3OLgoqs very unusual style he has . i remember seeing him on "The Old Grey Whistle Test " in late 70/80's

Brian May has got to be my favourite but also like Clapton and Hendrix.

Excellent taste in music! Love Steely Dan, superb band and excellent guitarist obviously. :y

Probably never going to be able to pick one....horses for courses
But Alex Lifeson from Rush does it for me....accurate, hugely versatile , a terrific songwriter and phenominal live..and as for Neil Peart!!!

Rush are a top band, Neil Peart is incredible but a bit clinical for my tastes.

im a guitar nut but i just dont get the whole srv thing. i tried and tried but to me it sounds just like a pub rock hendrix impersonator. on the best of srv about a third of it is hendrix covers, played nowhere near as well as the originals. i am at a loss to work out why srv is paid so much credit and attention. he even tried to nick the hendrix image with the hat and the outfits.
another great great guitarist not mentioned, and a hugely influential one at that... chuck berry
