If there is anyone better, I would love to see it.

I prefer Paul Gilbert.

1.30, playing with his teeth

Not possible to decide who is the "best guitar player", as every player has a distinct style and brings something unique to the table.

This.

Hendrix > All for the most part.
Clapton > All for the most part
Petrucci > All for the most part
Malmsteen > All for the most part
Wylde > All for the most part
BB King > All for the most part
Bonamassa > All for the most part



And they ALL have differenst styles

where are Joe Satriani, Ron Thal and Steve Vai?

Great point - where are these missing guitarists? All of them challenge the ones I listed as "best", thus proving both of our points that "best guitarist" is too fuckin vague lol

It seems most of my favorite guitarists play blues / or are heavily inspired by blues..

clapton
hendrix
warren haynes

etc

I agree, i't's all about personal taste/experience

Ooooooooo - Not heard of Warran Haynes before Ty for the name!! If you haven't heard any, listen to Joe Bonamassa - Dust Bowl / Reconsider Baby. EPIC blues dude


Yup Well, this was a quick topic lol
