All time top guitarists (Page 2) commanchedogsoldier: JIMI HENDRIX - RANDY RHOADS - ZAKK WILDE - JOE SATRIANI - STEVE VAI - GARY MOORE - ACE FREHLEY Dream Maker: I don't remember seeing anyone post santana and he's gotta be one of the top. Hendrix has best hands down though, with randy rhodes up there at his heels. Seage08: Randy Rhoads, if you wanna hear his skill you gotta listen to the Ozzy Osbourne & Randy Rhoads Tribute album, & even his diversity can be found onn the last track of the album Dee. A wonderful guitarist & a loss. Steve Vai is just awesome, just listen to Yankee Rose with David Lee Roth, that is one awesome piece of guitar work. Also any of his own albums display his skill. When he played with Whitesnake he did'nt really get a forum to show his skill. Yngwie J. Malmsteen, not only a skilled guitar virtuoso but incredibly diverse has a guitarist & a musician. BelindaV: Oh for sure Kirk Hammett and I agree with whoever said John from RHCP, hmmm and that guy from Trivium(don't know who it is..sorry) gangstarrrrr: for rythum guitar the best would have to be hendrix, for riffs its keith richards but for all around skill i put it all on jimmi paige alucard_t14: kirk hammet is my life times hero. malmsteen is really one of the best. something u may not now, kirk steve vai and satriani they are all have links to each other RandyRolfe: I just need to say this... Metal guitarist aren't that good... They play by learning technics and by memory. Not by skill or imagination. Kirk Hammet didn't even write most of Metallica's music. And as for Zakk Wyled, he only added on to Randy Rhodes who wasn't that good... And anyone that say Tony Iommi needs to get the head examined. Sabbath songs are classic, BUT you can learn a Sabbath song in a day. It would be like saying that that douche bag in Linkin Park is a good guitarist. Fx^@ the guys play a chord every four beats! you kow what no one said David Gilmore.... Or Syd Barret... Or Lou Reed.... Or Bob Marley... or any other 60's or 70's hero! What about Kirk Cobain while we are in the mainstream mode? And you know what? Prine, yes PRINCE, couls play guitar around Adam Jones, from Tool. Granted it's all about interpretation but if I stat seeing the guitarist or Disturbed metioned I'm going to lose a gasket! LuvToFish: I would say, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Slash, Herman Li, George Harrison, The Edge, Keith Richards, Kirk Hammit, Kurt Cobain, John Frusciante, Les Paul, Eddie van Halen, David Gilmour and Angus Young. shyguy41687: Buckethead is without a doubt the greatest guitarist. Steve vai is amazing and you cant forget Yngwie. FerdinandBardamu: I would have to say top 10: Randy Rhoads, Jimi Hendrix, Uli Jon Roth, Michael Schenker, Yngwie Malmsteen, Ritchie Blackmore, Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Seve Vai. TY: best 10 i think, 1-jimmy page of led zeppelin. 2-Jimi Hendrix 3-Alvin Lee of Ten Years After. 4-Slash. 5-Grady Johnson Of Big Sugar. 6-Randy Rhodes Of Ozzy. 7-Jerry Cantrell Of Alice In Chains. 8-Brian May Of Queen. 9-Dimebag Of Pantera. 10-Daniel Johns Of Silverchair.
