F*ckin size of his hand on the fret board!!!!
 
Bolin ahead of Blackmore, sacrilege.

Bolin was one of the guitarists that (just) missed out on last spot in my ten though.
To be honest I wanted to put Blackmore in my 10 but in the end as it was favourite not best so I put Steve Morse in I actually like more Purple albums with Morse than Blackmore, and his work with Kansas and Dixie Dregs above the 4 Rainbow albums I like.
Anyway here are my 10 favourites, and not best which would be a fair bit different.
1 Eddie Van Halen

2 Angus Young

3 Gary Moore

4 Michael Schenker

5 Steve Morse

6 John Petrucci

7 George Lynch

8 Tommy Aldrich

9 Adrian Vandenberg

10 Mick Box

Neal Schon was one I agonised over and was one of the last eliminated, along with Steve Lukather, and to be fair when I got to about 18 eliminating 8 was like choosing between children. One of my hardest choices was between John Sykes , pre Leppard Vivian Cambell and Tommy Aldrich. I think seeing Aldrich a few weeks ago with Dead Daisies while Sykes and Cambell have done little recently swayed it.

Haha my list was to hastily put together ffs think I left page out altogether too many and so hard to whittle it down reckon I’d of picked slightly different to my list I actually had Randy Rhoads at no1..
