I humbly submit that this entire list is skewed toward a very limited spectrum of electric-guitar, rock solo, large exposure rock band guitarists. That's very true but I would counter that with, duh, so what? And by that I mean people's opinion's are always going to favor what they're familiar with and what they personally like. I have no problem with that. It's better than people throwing in names thatey have heard of but know nothing of just to try and sound more cultured. Ans no mummi, I'm not accusing you of that, I know your musical taste and interests are more wide ranging that mine but when you get right down to it I say BFD, you go with what you know. |

Until I heard Pepe Romero I used to turn off the classical station when a guitar piece came on. I don't know what it was about him, but whatever it was awoke an appreciation for classical guitar in me.  |

So didn't I go with what I know, too? heh... And it's not about being cultured, just about spreading the love, hippie style. |

So didn't I go with what I know, too? heh... And it's not about being cultured, just about spreading the love, hippie style. I could have thrown out obscure stuff that I once liked until as George Carlin said "I reached the age of reason" but I don't feel the need to impress anyone with whatever obscure stuff that I once listened to because I have come full circle as I see it and realized that art doesn't have to be "challenging" or "unique" or whatever for it to be great. I'm more into a visceral experience. I want stuff to move me. Sometimes that's crazy/off the beaten path stuff but more often than not it is less pompous than most "hip" or "obscure" musicians that I have listened to. EDIT: Just because I didn't mention jazz or celtic or bluegrass or Indonesian folk or whatever other type of guitarist you can think of, doesn't mean I haven't listened to them and determined they either suck(at least to my ears) or I won't find myself seeking them out again although bluegrass would be the exception there...a lot of bluegrass stuff I like |

Django Reinhardt= Best guitarist ever. Nobody else could ever play that well after losing the use of their ring finger and pinkey on their chord hand (they were severely burnt in an accident. If you look at photos of him playing, you can see the scarring).

I like all the choices so far. I'll name a few that I haven't seen mentioned yet just to get their names out there.
1.Donald 'Buck Dharma' Roeser
2.Robert Fripp
3.Steve Howe
4.Jeff Beck
5.Duane Allman
6.Gary Rossington
7.Allen Collins
8.Tony Iommi
9.Gary Moore
10.Lee Ritenour
This can be exhausting. There's so many more. It'll be easier to name the 'not too good' guitarist's than all the good ones.

i feel the need to throw Paul Waggoner into the mix, he is the guitarist for BTBAM and is extremely talented for such small doses of practice, he practiced only around 30 minutes a day as a kid, i dont know if its changed or anything but he has some great talent
i would say Trey Gunn but he plays a Chapman Stick and Warr Guitar.....
