Favourite rock 'n' roll guitarist?

I like Jimi best.

 

I lov the lists too.

Hendrix is a god
Page is also a legend
Beck, Clapton, Gilmore are gifted
Slash: i dont know how he can talk through his guitar
Jerry Garcia is also the best
Malmsteen, Satriani: I think these guys hav their guitars as their third arm (they kind of came from other worlds)

I also would like to add a bit more too:

Steve Vai: So talented and finest out of this world
Michael Angelo: This guy is crazy. Hav you know anyone who can play quad guitar and shred guitar faster than this guy. No question they call him without shadow
Francesco fareri: This is the fastest sweep i think in this world 3 beats at 33nps. wow
John Petrucci: another alien with three hands from other worlds

and i think there are many more great guitarists out there, just too many! chek out my web too

 

Well, the topic is "rock n roll" guitarists, so I'll stay out of metal guys, like satch/vai/yngwie..

Gary Rossington, Allen Collins, Ed King - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Ritchie Blackmore
Duane Allman
Angus Young
Jimi Hendrix
Eric Clapton
Jimmy Page

Metal Guitarists
Dave Mustaine / Marty Friedman - Megadeth
James Hetfield / Kirk Hammett - Metallica
Dimebag Darrell - Pantera
[size=-1]Mille Petrozza/[/size][size=-1]Jörg Tritze - Kreator
Chuck Schuldiner - Death
Randy Rhoads - Quiet Riot, Ozzy
Dave Murray / Janick Gers / Adrian Smith - Iron Maiden
... many more

Yeah, Richie Blackmore's in my top 3 as well. The topic says 'favourite guitarist' by the way, not guitarists. :H

 

Jimi Hendrix is my favourite out of that list. Jason Becker is my alltime favourite, though. And Steve Vai gets an honourable mention

 

Prick.

Just kidding... How can anyone pick ONE guitarist? I'd edit my post so many times...

 

Steve Howe

 

Jimmy Hendrix

Eric Clapton

slash

George Harrison

Randy Rhoads

keith richard

Tommy Iommi


Pete Townshend

Ritchie Blackmore

but my number 1 favorite guitarist player is Jimmy Page

 

Slash!

probably just because i listen to him more than anyone else on that list

 

I picked Gilmour, but Garcia and Hendrix come fairly close. Hendrix would probably have to be the best Rock n' Roll guitarist, probably followed by Page, but Gilmour put so much emotion into his music and Jerry, well, he was just a fucking genius.

 

I picked Hendrix... but I gotta give recognition to Jorma Kaukonen.

 

Jimmy Page for me, and it looks like he's at the head, way to go Jimmy

 

jimi hendrix, no contest.

 

curt kirkwood of meat puppets.

 

MikeyHouser from Widespread Panic.

 

Slash has been a favourite of mine for a long time though i would put eric clapton close behind, im not a big fan of many of the others work.

 

hendrix, so much soul n imagination

 

For me its ol' neil, from reading responses I feel he's a little underated

 

The Best Guitarist = Frank Zappa hands down. No one can top him!

 

i picked hendrix but page is up there too.this is a hard question because its all about style they all had a different style some better at blues and some better at rock some better at folk some better at choas.it is a hard question.
