Ok, name who you think is the best guitarist

[flex229]

page is the best, IMO.

 

[Creepusmaximus]

Randy Roads was good. For those who know he was. There are a lot of classical guitarists who are very good. You need to narrow the field for this question.

 

[BrothaBill]

Charo

 

[Delinquent]

Eddie Van Halen is up there for sure with SRV being there also

 

[Maverick]

slash or eric clapton or santana

 

[Razorguns]

Randy Rhoads
Eddie Van Halen
Zakk Wylde
Gary Rossington
Slash

Top 5. Dimebag is next on the list. Then Hendrix. Then Mick Mars. Then BB King and the rest of the famous black blues guys.

You are such a Zakk Wylde mark! LOL! Jake E. Lee was a far better guitar player than Zakk from a technichal standpoint. I am still amazed when I listen to the "Tribute" CD and hear tyhe shit Randy did on that live recording. If he was still alive today, he would'nt be touched.
George Lynch IMO is the best guitar player. He has amazing tone and just fucking solid. He never gets stale, which takes me back to Zakk Razorguns. Zakk has been so stale and uninspired his last three albums, it is sickening to me. I love Zakk, but he needs to quit whoring out his albums, and take a little time off and come up with some fresh shit.

Oh no. NOt another one of these. Been through 10,000 of these threads on guitar.com. No obvious winner is EVER decided.

And the answer: some top jazz guitarist, prolly John McLaughlin.
