Greatest Guitarist

Francis Dunnery

Django, you silly lot.

Pioneers of more modern music are clearly Hendrix and van Halen, neither of whom are such technical or even emotional players as, say, Albert Collins or that twit from Headache Theatre.

Down to favourites: honorable mention to the current guitarists' guitarist, Robben Ford, not least for his quite unapproachable sound through those Dumbles.

Larry Carlton also pisses on 99% of players mentioned here, and they would all happily admit it.

I count at least five liquor bottles in the pic and it looks like they all had a drink... including the kid!

Such a general question - greatest in what sense?

In terms of "shredding" and overall technique then Vai or Malmsteen for me.

Slide Guitarist and it's this man
