Top Guitarist all time

[Jewish-Reptile]

No Clapton??

Not for me, Page and Slash are personal favourites, as well as Morello.

mark tremonti.

Good choice, I'd add him and Jack White to my initial suggestions.

Are only rock players allowed, or do no other forms of music exist?

1. Mark knophler is widely considered the best if not top 5 of all time....check out telegraph road live on YouTube...it's not just about how fast you play...it's how it's played and what comes out of ..amazing guitarist
2 Dave gilmour pink floyd ......again no one create a sound the way he does....just go see pulse live from Earl's Court
3. Charlie burchill from simple minds......a very underrated player and Genuis at producing soundscapes ...

I know my music and if you like dance music I dj so check out my mixes on spundcloud search the name Senhor durante and ur find me

Leadbelly.

[Zaroku]

Hendrix and Jimmy Page

That covers it clearly!

I agree.

Page and Slash are lackeys compared to one of their mentors
Michael Bloomfield. ask johnny winters.
not enough credit goes to the paul butterfield blues band
in the history of rock.

I'll check them out, I'd also like to suggest you don't necessarily need to be a great guitarist to be a great entertainer, I would like special mention for Jesse Hughes of Eagle of Death Metal fame, are ay of you familiar with them ?

Has Santana been mentioned ?

Personal vote is for Stevie Ray Vaughn.

I used to claim Jimi Hendrix; but then I realized.....Hendrix was no mere guitar player. He was a force of nature. There is Hendrix...and then there is daylight.

So, bringing it down to "guitar players", my vote is for Vaughn; but I am admittedly partial to the Blues.

jazz guitarists are way more skilled than rock guitarists, i'd say larry carlton and wes montgomery were way better than most rock legends, except hendrix and stevie ray vaughn. also les paul, who has a guitar named after him was really great in his time
