Guitar god?

[gtsfirefighter]

Rolling Stone magazine is worthless. Just like the people who decided who goes into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. They are a joke. VH1 Classic has more accurate "Lists" of who's who and who's what in rock.

Jimi Hendrix http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nbhZEi2uNg&feature=related
Jimmy Page http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27YaZMam1OY&feature=related
SRV http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAG-kX_IlUw
Eric Clapton http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2sfelvHAlU&feature=related

Those are my favs anyways.

I'll say it, bc I know no one else will.... the Edge from U2. May not be "God" status, but still really good.

For God status I vote for Hendrix & Stevie Ray Vaughn

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

The Edge is almost as bad as Bono.

a buddy of mine put it perfectly; he can speak through his guitar. David Gilmour gets my vote .

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

Scott Henderson... I bet almost no one knows who he is.
BUT... A guitar god who has everything... Slash.

 

[Doward]

Angus Young, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page - greatest right there.

 

[Sawbladz]

Brewsters post is chalked full of win.

 

[ForcedTorque]

Ted Nugent!

Dime Bag Darrell!

Carlos Santana!

Mike has a very nice list, but Slash has got to be on it to legitimize it. My vote goes to Malmsteem on the poll. I like his virtuoso much better than when he has a singer.I have witnessed almost everybody mentioned in this thread. Carlos and Slash are both extremely good. I actually thought Slash was overrated due to the video game craze until I saw him a month or so ago. He is a guitar Genius!

Keep watching past the first bit. Most Knopfler solos take off near the mid-point. I love him because he always makes it look like just some other thing to do, like drinking a glass of milk. LOL.

In conclusion, I don't think there is any one person I could pick. So many people have so much talent, and it really depends how I feel. Some people can really make an instrument come alive.

[SupraOfDoom]

I know he's bass, but Les Claypool > All.

[Mr.PFloyd]

Les Claypool is really amazing, but he owes Geddy Lee a lot for his playing style.

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Always preferred Nick Oliveri to Les Claypool.
Who doesn't get enough credit is Larry LaLonde, being able to keep up with Claypool is no easy task.

 

[rtrdpenguin]

I don't think there's any one player that's the best, they are all good in their own ways. I personally think vai is amazing for what he can do technique wise and how clean his playing is even live, but my favorite for pure sound that I enjoy listening to most is definitely Slash.
