“Oh hail Jimmy!”

“Guitar god of all time!”

“The One, Best Ever No Doubt”

“Yes, he wears a KFC bucket on his head and a Michael Myers mask on his face, but he’s a genius. Buckethead (real name Brian Carroll) plays every style, from country to death metal. Albums like ’Monsters and Robots’ and ’Population Override’ are must-haves for any aspiring guitarists, and instrumentals like ’Nottingham Lace’ and ’Too Many Humans’ take some beating.”

“GOD. The best blues guitarist an live player ever. Nothing more eneds to be said.”

“you cant be ACDC.. best live guitarist”

“Should be higher, and I wish he was. Pink Floyd are my favourite band, and David Gilmour’s guitar solos can be matched by few, if any. Gilmour is famous for his bluesy, slow style that puts the emphasis on phrasing rather than technique.”

Floods

“should be higher on the list”

“Took Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page inspirations a srep further in the late eighties, and is now one of the most repsected guitarists around. ’Surfing With The Alien’ is a must-have for every guitarist, as it shows just what you can do with the blues. Is Vai the master of space-age rock, or is Satriani? You decide.”

Floods

“One of the absolute best gutarists out here, better than hendrix.”

“Herman Li of dragonforce is by far the most masterful guitar player of all time. The only person on earth that can come close to matching his skill is his apprentice that plays lead guitar simaltaneously with herman in the band.”

“Once again, should be listed high. also where is kurt hammet”

“A great guitarist and showman.”

“Awesome Guitarist!”

“Zakks The Best 4ever”

“Deserves to be in the top... most underrated guitarist”

“Much better than some of the overrated items in this list.”

“The greatest riff-writer ever. Billy Duffy is the greatest British guitarist ever, and if you don’t believe me, buy ’Sonic Temple’. Duffy writes amazing riffs and solos, and although he’s got blinding speed, he knows how to use it with economy.”

Floods

“Not a guitar hero in the conventional sense of the word, nevertheless, Johnny Marr is one of the most influential guitarists of the past twenty + years. His arpaeggiated leads are very difficult to play, and when he breaks loose with a guitar solo, the sounds are unrecognisable as having come from a guitar”

Floods

“Eric Johnson is one of the most respected guitar virtuosos in the world. He has a fast, slick style and a brilliant tone. In the late eighties and nineties, Johnson took blues and jazz influences and catapulted them into the next world. And not many guitarists can top ’Cliffs of Dover’.”

Floods

“He requires no introduction.”

“He is from Creedence Clearwater Revival. Just listen to Up Around The Bend or Bad Moon Rising. The most complete electric guitarist in existence.”

“Jeff Beck paved the way for heavy metal with the 1968 album ’Truth’, and virtuoso instumental music with 1974s ’Blow By Blow’. Beck isn’t the most talented songwriter, and some would say that he’s wilfully underachieved, but he’s one of the best guitarists ever, period.”

Floods

“amazing guitar player!!!”

“He really should be on top 10, THE BEST GUITARIST EVER ON EARTH! You never could find someone better than him at any way.
THE BEST”

“Becker could smoke Malmsteen, Gilbert and Van Halen by the time he was 16. Sadly, he contracted ALS before he even reached 20.”

Floods

“Truely one of the best ’70’s rock guitar legends ever to play. He has fast overtones and sweet licks.”

“He rocked the 70’s”
