The Official Best Guitarist Thread

Uh, pardon me for stating the obvious, but the best and greatest guitarist now, ever, is Mr. John Petrucci, or, maybe Ingvay Mounstein, I know I spelled that horribly wrong.

I can't believe someone said Hendrix... That guy wasn't that friggin magnificant.
 
i cannot believe NOBODY HAS MENTIONED
FRANK ZAPPA

compared to most of the other guitarist mentioned except srv, hendrix etc., Zappa is much more technically proficient and way more interesting

and nobody has mentioned any jazz or classical guitarists, and basically, no rock guitarist can stand up to the likes of Pat Metheny, Wes Montgomery, Jim Hall, John Scofield, Slava Grigorian etc....
 
Ok, so most of you will prob say Jimi Hendrix. Which is prob true, he was a great guitarist. But he was prob the most INFLUENTIAL guitarist.

What i am asking is who is the BEST guitarist?

I would have to say that Dimebag Darrel (ex PanterA) would beat this hanRAB down. Christ he knows how to play! Pinch haronics everywhere. The shear speed at which he plays is incredible. He defn gets my vote!
 
I have to say that i totally agree with jibber.Oustanding talent surely one of the most influential if not the most of all time.
You can only hope and pray that music will see another genius of this mans capacity again at some point.Though i havn't seen one yet.
 
LMMFAO! POSER! Hatebreed? It's Damageplan you durabass! Hatebreed is Jamey Jasta. Hatebreed sucks. Cowboys From Hell is one of their biggest pieces of work so it shouldn't suprise me you chose that. Without looking it up, what's their most recent CD? I'll give you a hint.... they 're-invented' it at the turn of the century.
 
I have to mention two canucks Alex Lifeson of Rush always has tasty solos great all round player. Kim Mitchell of Max Webster wins for me as most under-rated player.

If "Best" means technique I think the award must got to Steve Vai.
 
Hahahahahaha.

You my friend, have not heard Michael Angelo Batio... You will not know the true meaning of excruciating pain until you give him a listen.
 
Mustaine is a **** of alot better at guitar than singing. He can tear **** up, but his voice gives me a headache after a while.
