of all time, of course not... but of people and living and still playing well today, he's definately one of the best (and this thread has nothing to do with best of all time... it says best in the world). I'm not going to make any claims that Jack White is better then Hendrix or Page or any of the other legends, but of his generation he is the best.

and if you think this is just my opinion, go pick up any copy of nearly any respected music magazine... spin, rolling stone, whatever...

Guess what?
Of CURRENT guitar player, who play today.
Not even in top 10... sleeping:

Not even in the top 150,000...ive heard local kids play guitar better than him.

you people are silly

Stfu dude who likes the guy from the white striples, youve clearly never played a note in your life, the guy sucks. Moving on.

Theyre drunk off their asses but those guys could riff. Scott Ian is not forgotten.

It's like rappers doing "freestyle" battles: they have hundreds of rhymes
already prepared and they just try to mix'n'match appropriately and hope
it falls into place properly. Your guitarist probably experimented with many
different combinations and added them up together in an sensical order.

Still, it takes a lot of talent to do it so props to them! rock:

Ahahaha, im sorry but you're wrong. Trey does stuff on the top of his head. Phish is a jam band, thats what they do, they improvise.

For the idiots in the crowd, the guitarists i posted were:
John Petrucci (Dream Theater)
Steve Vai
Joe Satriani, John Petrucci, and Steve Vai
and Trey (im not gonna attempt to spell his last name) from Phish.

ANGUS YOUNG WAS A TERRIBLE GUITARIST. I cant STAND him.

And yea, Mr. Levinstien, Hetfield and Mustaine were pretty awesome rhythm guitarists.
My friends band just covered metal songs with his band at the Battle of the Bands at my highschool. They covered:
Megadeth-Rust in Peace...Polaris
Black Sabbath-Fairies with Boots
Led Zeppelin-Black Dog
Metallica-Master of Puppets

They've played plenty of shows at clubs, I've seen them multiple times. They've covered:
Iron Maiden- The Trooper
Slayer- Seasons in the Abyss, Raining Blood
Black Sabbath- War Pigs, Paranoid
Jimi Hendrix-Fire
plus 3 originals which kick ass.

every note of all those songs. My friend (lead/rhythm guitar) who is a sophomore in highschool has been playing since he was 5, thats 10 years, he is amazing.

with all that said, i hate ignorant people.

Okay, here's my list: Hendrix, Page , and Clapton and the best of those has got to be;

hake:

No SRV? SRV is 1000000x better than page, and clapton combined. Hendrix is a different story. Id say SRV and hendrix have around the same amount of talent, just different styles

theres one guitarist everyone forgets, who's one of my favourites, and one of the main reasons i started playing guitar about 7yrs ago. his solos on the show must go one are some of my favourites of any song. and he's probably the only person to ever play the national anthem on guitar while standing on the roof of buckingham palace:

my favourite guitarists in order are:

adrian smith and dave murray (saw these with the rest of IM about 2 months ago at the NEC):

steve vai:

plus satch, janick gers, iommi (another reason i started playing guitar), malmsteen, aswell as eric johnson, paul gilbert and roy z

guitarists i dont like are hendrix (i know he was a great guitarist, but i dont like him) and hammett (possibly the most overrated metal guitarist in history)

You rock, uber! rock:

Nice pic of Adrian Smith...probably my biggest guitar influence.

if you IM me at thesunisi or j0tun@msn.com i can send you some.

My old guitar teacher, maybe not the most talent ever, but the best all around package, heh that guys was so funny. biggrin:

I would say John Fahey, that guy was awsome. Even if you do not like that type of music you have to give that guy some credit.

Actually, now that I think of it, the best guitar player I've ever been in the same room with was my friend from University, Casey.

Man, that dude was a freak of nature. He'd sit down and play the solo from "Mr. Crowley" and chat with you like he wasn't playing at all. A total phenom.

He recorded awesome cover tunes on his 4-track too. He did a sweet version of "Bloodsucker" by Deep Purple. My fave from him was "2000 Man"...he nailed Ace Frehley's licks and vocals.
