Who Is The Best Guitar Player







he is. And, I saw him live once.

I don't think there is a single best. At most you could maybe pin it down to a best in any particular genre but that would be about all and at that you'd have to specify whether living or dead to narrow the field to a reasonable size.

The "Best"... It's all subjective...

If Alex Lifeson had kept progressing past the level he was around 1985, I believe he could be in the top 10 .

His early stuff was crushing it - the 3 of them really pushed each other to the limits.

Of course it’s all subjective. But what hell, let’s play!!!

The BEST:
Blues - SRV
Country - Brent Mason
Rock - Eddie Van Halen
Jazz - Wes Montgomery
Overall - Eric Johnson

Hendrix was a wizard! Only slight critisism is playing with your teeth, and setting fire might be good theatre but doesn't sound very good.

I always found Eric Clapton 'predictable'.

My favorite was Paul Kossof (Free) who died in 1976 aged 25. - Screaming lead phrases backed up by menacing power chords.

Yngwie Malmsteen has a lot of haters but he is my ultimate guitar hero. I used to play his first few albums with my electric guitar in my youth and I was almost 90% accurate in copying his guitar solos.

Here's the best Yngwie cover I ever heard probably....
A guy from Brazil...

When Paul Gilbert first heard Yngwie Malmsteen.


Here's Paul recently in Germany doing a shredding version of YYZ
(Human capo on the 3 string )


Paul doing YYZ with Mike Portnoy (drum solo)

The ending from 6:00 on is killer

I don't know that he is technically 'best' but I love his smooth sound: Jerry Garcia

 

[JOSweetHeart]

This is my most favorite song from Keith.



God bless you and him always!!!

Andy Timmons is one of my favorites.

Shredding or with finesse, no one did it better than Gary Moore.

Dude could sing well, and pumped out a rather large amount of kick-arse blues songs, despite not always having been in the genre. RIP



I know that pure skill wise, Clapton, Bonamassa, Derek Trucks, or Eric Steckel can also play at the highest levels. From there, it's just a debate on styles and in most cases, voice preferences that accompany.

 

[westwall]

Jimy Hendrix. And it's not even close.

Stevie Ray Vaughn was equal to, or better.

His post- UFO work never got much radio play in the US, so most of us
never heard his solo stuff until after he died.
