I’m going to say George Harrison his slide guitar is heaven but No 1 is John Squire 3rd would be little Barrie, Barrie Cadogan (primal scream) I can’t stop now thinking of all the brilliant guitarist’s there have been so many of them.
Oh dear! first rule, read the rules, you don’t want a couple you want 10 by PM

Quite a toughie on such a broad category just off the top of my head I've got stuff by Joe Pass, John Williams, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Marr and Hendrix which is all brilliant but quite different. Tricky one.

I doubt that I will be participating as my list will be (at least) predominantly Japanese then it will be pretty pointless in me putting the work in to organise a list.

I've produced a list of ninety so far without much effort but it only has two of those on it (SRV & Jimi).

I can only think of two that I know the names of and like off the top of my head. Just going to have to choose the lead guitarist of my favourite bands I guess.

Johnny Marr, George Harrison, Brian May - no particular order. If we were allowed four Mark Knopfler who is an amazing folk/blues based lead player.

I think this is harder than the vocalist polls. I know it's a blind poll but it would be interesting to see what people are valuing in their picks or if they've stuck to a genre etc. I will probably find myself arguing that Hendrix deserves a place in the top 10 but it won't be for technical skills.
Actually, thinking about I'm probably going to just go all in on blues players on the basis the rockers will probably rule the roost anyway.
But then again I've got Barney Kessel on in the background at the moment and he's f***king brill.
Too hard, tiny brain will explode.
