Eric Clapton SRV Lindsey Buckingham Brian May Jack Bruce Too many great guitarists

To add to the above: Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck

I'm casting my vote for the great and greatly underrepresented Leo Kottke. Although some other guitarist may have achieved much greater fame and greatness than him, his music is truly masterful, and will always hold a special place in my heart. Whoo! You go Leo!

this question was asked before and before i got a chance to answer it,someone creamed me.however,my answer is andrea segovia.usually you would hear people say,damn,this guy is so good,he makes the guitar talk.well this is what seperates andrea segovia from the rest.this spaniard not only makes the guitar talk,he makes it cry.

Neil Young. He sounds like three guitars playing at once.
-
For me, personally, Stevie Ray Vaughan.
-
To honestly answer this question fairly you would have to name several including but not limited to: Jimi Hendrix Eric Clapton Jimmy Page Jeff Beck Ritchie Blackmore Randy Rhoads Yngwie Malmsteen Chuck Berry Robin Trower Keith Richards Pete Townshend Zakk Wylde Joe Perry Peter Frampton Ronnie Montrose Glen Tipton K.K. Downing Allen Collins Ritchie Kotzen Ace Frehley Richie Sambora Kerry King Tom Scholz Janick Gers Phil Collen Michael Sweet Dave Mustaine James Hetfield Plus so many more great guitar players.

Jimmy Page the ultimate improviser.Who else can play their guitar with a violin bow?
-
Lenny Kravitz, Carlos Santana
-
Neal Schon (Journey) Gary Richrath (REO) not the greatest, but one of....
-
Jimmy Page
-
Neil Young. Killer performance.
-
My personal favorite is David Gilmour, and I think he is the greatest. There are SO many extremely talented artists, but you asked for one and he's it for me.
-
Eric Clapton or Jimmy Page
-
eric clapton was god when I was 11 ..I am now 52 and I see no reason to change that view.. but there are a hell of a lot in second place
-
I think the enjoyment from watching someone should be a huge factor so I am going to say Angus Young. I do not know enough about the "technical" aspects of playing the guitar but if I chose the one I like to see perform the most it is Angus. Energy defined, and I just love the sound that eminates from his guitar.
-
Andres Segovia
-
John Frusciante (my DP), MAYBE Hillel Slovak, Tom Morello. One of them.
-
Steve Vai isnt bad.
-
Angus Young is better than JIMMY but it is close call and i hate to say it but Garth Brookswould hasve to be the shird best he is a smaller verion of angus and jimmy
-
Well, Hendrix isnt the geatest. He might be in the top 5. It has to be Eric Clapton or Carlos Santana.
-
jack white, jimmy page, jeff beck. anyone whose name begins with a J. Also, David Gilmour does fantastic soundscapes and robert johnson who legendarily sold his soul to the Devil to be able to play well.
-
paul gilbert,satriani,vai
-
TOM MORELLO OF RAGE/AUDIOSLAVE/NIGHTWATCHMEN
-
Slash. Woo hoo!
-
Rory gallagher anybody.... nobody put on a show like him i was there in madrid i still get shivers. Rory sits up there with Hendrix
-
I can't say this guy is the greatest, but he is one of the best... Alex Skolnik of Testament and Trans Siberian Orchestra.
-
Some say the greatest guitar player is a guy named Phil Keaggy. You probably have never heard of him but he is amazing. Check him out at YouTube. He has spent almost his entire career in the Christian market and has never cared about being famous. Stories have it that Jimi Hendrix was once asked by a talk show host how it felt to be the world's greatest guitar player. Supposedly, his answer was, "I don't know, go ask Phil Keaggy."
-
Frank Zappa
-
I am.

the legend that was Shawn Lane people! There is no greatest guitar player of all time. thats like saying who is greatest chef of all time, not everyone likes the same kinda food and even when they do diffrent people like stuff over done, medium rare, raw with cheese ect music is a artform so its based on personal opinion. THAT SAID There isnt one, But Shawn Lane.. But seriously there isnt one.. but im sure anyone who knows of Shawn lane will agree.... but still no greatest.. sept lane.... isnt.. Lane.
-
Tommy Emmanuel
-
There's way more than one, like: Eric Clapton Stevie ray Vaughan Dave mason Jimmy Page Richie Blackmore Eddie Van Halen Duane Eddy Mason Williams
-
I loved Jason Becker. He was truly amazing!
-
Tommy emmanuel and those gypsy jazz guitarists
-
Jimmy Page and Pete Townsend (live that is)
-
hmmm minus Hendrix..... I'd still say Hendrix lol
-
I think Eric Clapton is certainly right up there!!
-
Jimi Hendrix would have to be a contender.
-
Randy Rhoades
-
Keith Richards is not bad either.....
-
Eddie Van Halen!
-
I think Eric Clapton was and is the best guitar player based on whenever I hear Eric clapton play I immediately stop what I'm doing and get lost in the music.
-
Last time I checked, Andres Segovia was still the greatest guitar player of all time. Some good rock players were mentioned by others, but if you asked anyone of these good rock players who is best, they would say Segovia!
