Free bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd had three of them giving it a good thrashing.

That's ok, my head was usually already messy before I listened to it.  ;D

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Hank Marvin, and I'd have put money on AA chipping in with Bert Weedon  ;D

Quite like Joe Walsh,s playing and always thought Don Felder had a special touch on the fretboard that not many people have.
Always thought  Lizzy a bit over rated tbh, although I quite enjoyed them when I saw them in Belfast in their heyday.
The more modern (80,s onward) guitarists who seemed to like to cram as many notes as possible into every second never did much for me.
Dont mind fast, as long as its melodic at the same time.
Its all about the blues for me though. No other kind of music reaches the parts the Blues does.


I've no idea what makes a good or bad guitarist musician. I agree with you about blues, and Chris Rea always makes me sit up and listen.

"Best" ?
Tough question and answers will depend to a great extent on musical taste, and . . . . on how old you are  ::)
I'm up for most of the usual suspects. Blackmore had a very distinctive style, and not yet mentioned Marty Friedman (likes oriental scales). Paul Gilbert must be up there also. A great many metal guitarists are technically amazing, but lack distinction.
The more I think about this, the less likely it is that I'll have my answer . . . .

I'm surprised Marty Feldman could see the strings properly  ;D

If Alnico blue sees this thread, Hank will definitely get a mention. He is a devout disciple.  :y

The best aren't automatically frontmen though, hence my top two ;)

Cant forget to mention the three Kings. Albert, Freddie and B.B.
Without them, most of the above probably wouldnt have picked up a guitar. Either directly or indirectly influenced.

Impossible to name one but the first three that spring to mind are:

1. Brian May
2. George Harrison
3. Peter Green
