Zappa and Vai here sublime:

Quality!

the intro to 'I am the slime' is great too!

 

[flyer]

without doubt: Ritchie Blackmore!
Followed by: George Lynch, Glen Tipton, Alex Lifeson, Joe Perry.........and many more :)

Blackmore wipes the floor with the others

'Lazy' either on the studio album or live is simply stunning

 

[MCFCTrick]

Joe Perry.

He had a great sound and feel in Aerosmith, up to them 'cleaning up' and becoming sanitised and bland. If EVER there was a band who should come of the rails, and get back on the drink and drugs......

And forgot to add IAN McNABB to my list. A most underrated guitar player.

John McGeoch.
Geordie.
Mick Ronson.
James Dean Bradfield.
Steve Jones
Robert Smith

[The Kurious Oranj]

I think Neil Young has already been mentioned but here's a link anyway. Awesome.

[Daves boy Saul]

Got to be Slash, great guitarist even with the drink and drugs over the years,(born in Stoke on Trent by the way)!
Reading interviews with other 'legends' over the years, they all seem to have an admiration for Keith Richards in that he is an extreamly accomplinshed guitarist.

 

[Bluebottle]

Angus Young
JJ Cale
SRV
John Lee Hooker
John Squires
Ry Cooder

.....and JMH of course. Goes without saying.

 

[CarolinaBlue]

Shit! I thought I had my list and then I read through these posts. Now I am going to have to put a new one together, and pull out the old records!

Good call with Zappa and JJ Cale!

 

[Bigga]

Though Blues is my fav kind of guitar action(so emotive!), this kid is(well, WAS awesome)...
