ok, obviously people are stupid.

THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN SAY SOMEONE IS THE BEST GUITAR PLAYER

Wanna know why?
When people rate a guitarist, they will always add their own opinion.
It will never be a FACT who is the best guitar player ever.

Ask MAB to play something slowly and emotionally.

The answer: "What the fuck is slow? And what in God's name is emotion?".
That should sum it up pretty much.

Guitar skill is not something that can be quantified - it's impossible to say who is better than anyone else.

Paul Gilbert can string skip like a mofo, but set him up in front of buckethead's lineup of effects pedals and his head would probably explode. Mike Davis is incredibly amazingly quick, but is he any better than Per Nilsson?

you just can't say for certain who is the best guitarist in the world.

And then there's probably some bedroom shredder out there than never left his room/guitar for long enough to join a real band and get known.

vouch this, the best guitarist in the world spends so much time playing guitar, he has never become known.

Probably true from a techical point of view. But extraordinary musicians will get known one or another

you sir r a dumbass were talking about best guitarist not the guitarist that has his dick in your mouth plz get the fuck off your fav guitarist's cock
JesperIF<=== the dumbass who called hendrix n santana an idiot

Hendrix and Santana are bad techically, and from a musical point of view, they make just noise IMO. So shut up, and learn stuff about music before boldly stating these guys are the best.

Tough choices. There are so many genres and styles it's nearly impossible to choose one and label him/her as the best.

This is one of my favorites, Harry Sacksioni

Not true, that is a baseless assumption, backed up by no evidence whatsoever.
