Eddie Philips bowed his guitar before Page too.

Stevie Vai, Joe Satriani, Angus Young and Gary Moore are all great guitarists.

What songs did he do? I'd love to know..

Undoubtedly Dimebags best work was with Pantera, some of my favourites are Cowboys From Hell, Domination, Sandblasted Skin, Cemetary Gates and War Nerve.

Steve Ray Vaghn, if you have listened to him, or seen him play the guitar you know he is the best guitarist that ever lived on the face of the earth
( besides my brother which is like the second best guitariston the face of the earth. HE ROCKS!!!!!!!!)

What i am asking is who is the BEST guitarist?

I would have to say that Dimebag Darrel (ex PanterA) would beat this hands down. Christ he knows how to play! Pinch haronics everywhere. The shear speed at which he plays is incredible. He defn gets my vote!

playing heavy metal is the ultimate test of endurance in a metal guitarist
the speed that they play at is awesome and when they can still keep up that phenominal pace at the end of a hectic gig, then even a metal hater can appreciate the pure raw talent.

i agree with you about Dimebag, he was the ultimate guitar hero, he wa sone of the people whos music inspiredme to pick up a guitar in the first place. RIP.

However, when it comes to defining acoustic talent, my vote would lie with nick drake, his music is a highly organised work of guitar fretwork and he created a new genre to inspire all guitarists .

What about stage presence also? Dimebag had that down, he's phreaking awesome.
