yeah great band-the pace is awsome of dimebag. i love phils scream too. but can you really go past the top three:
jimmy page
carlos santana
eric clapton
they made music IMO. without them it wouold not be what it is today. i mean, what did led zep do for music? they are unbelievable, santana is still an awsome guitarist, and what needs to be said about clapton? then theres the local day talent...aka teppei teranishi from thrice. **** he can play

for classic rock, Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa and Jimmy Page are the best for me.

present day would be Trey Azagthoth, Fredrik Thordendal and Jus Osbourne.

there are still many more, though...

Jimi Hendrix is the best at writing music etc for the guitar...However I too would say Dimebag Darrel would be my favorite too.

Nice, nice, a lot of good guitarists there.... I would like to add to the "list" one John Petrucci. Listen to the song Glass Prison, by dream theater. Seriously, please. This song scared the living crap out of me with the guitar solos, just freakin' incredible.

Yeah, John Petrucci is very talented. I recently bought some Dream Theater albums and their music and guitar work is pretty amazing.

i haven't read all of the posts, but i didn't see Frank Zappa on there. I think he's got lots of talent when it comes to guitar

Jimmy Page for me is the most versatile player. He was able to mix and match styles unlike anyone I've ever heard, all within the confines of the same album, even at times within the same song.

Working today I don't think people realise how good a guitar player Jack White is until they see him live.

Past guitarists.. Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix re-invented the way people play guitars.

Present guitarists.. John Frusciante, his stuff is not always the most complex or technical but there is a certain way his arrangements come together that just sounds incredible to me, especially his solo work. And Omar Rodriguez, that guy must be on crack when he writes his guitar work for The Mars Volta. Even if you listen to his work with At The Drive In, its incredible. He's also coming out with a solo album. (I also think Jack White is deverse wayyy more respect than he gets)

riseagainstrocks · 08-02-2004, 06:54 PM

Yngwie Malmsteen
Joe Satriani
Steve Vai
Jesper Stromblad - In Flames (my personal fav his solo's are amazing)
Eddie Van Halen - Van Halen
Teppie Tereshini - Thrice (however you spell it)
Daniel Jacobs - Atreyu (every song is really good)

Those are my favorites.
