I know who he is...it's just that he isn't that great of a guitarist. He has some badass breakdowns and rifts I'll give him that. But he wasn't a invavator and he wasn't known as a great guitarist.

Omg dude he tied up with Zakk Wylde as best guitarist! Just cant remember the exact year but its sometime year between 2000 - 2004

1. Jimi hendrix
2. Zakk Wylde
3. Dimebag Darrell
4. John Petrucci
5. Joe Satriani
6. Van Halen
7. Paul Gilbert
8. Michael Romeo
9. Tony Iommi
10. Frank Zappa

Hendrix was good for his time but I wouldent say he is anywhere near the top for best guitar players and why dont I see more of Randy Rhoads on the list ;)

Rolling Stone doesn't even put Dimebag in top 100. But then again, Rolling Stone didn't put Joe Satriani in either. :P

I find posts like this irrelevant really. Each guitarist has their own technique and style that they can do better than everyone else out there. You cant compare the style of Zakk Wylde to the style of Stevie Ray Vaughan. You can put them in the same list, but you cant compare them -_-

Thats why I dont like to go on guitar forums. All you ever see is "OMG STEVE VAI CAN SOOO PLAY THIS LICK BETTER THAN YNGWIE" or "OMG JAKE LEE CAN PICK TAP BETTER THAN SATRIANI ARE U PPL BLIND" etc. How the hell can you know? Only the person actually playing knows how good they really are.

To us, I guess all that really matters is how much that particular guitarist has affected our own musical style. What impact theyve had on us and such.. and since everyone listens to different people, everyone has a different style, which once again brings up the question how are these things comparable?

exactly^^ finally somebody understands and has the balls to say that! When I first saw this thread that was the first thing I thought, but I figured if I said anything it would just lead to a flamming war.

Kaoii... you're lucky i'm not gay. ;)

The thread wasn't started to compare guitarist. It was to post who you think are the best guitarists. If it ever turns into a comparing contest, then you have the right to bitch. :P
