David Gilmour gets my vote, but there are so many outstanding guitarists these days, that it's hard to pick only one great. I'm surprised no-one's mentioned Carlos Santana yet. Then there's Lustrehand and Lustrehand junior, of course....
Paul Gilbert...My God
the late great - rory gallagher --- a lost talent
gets my vote
I guess it has to be Martin Taylor.
With Les Paul still alive?Quote:

No doubt in my mind of the outcome. Les is God.Quote:

visionary, oh and he could play hmmm mmm.
Hmm, there's been no mention of any female guitarists yet. One of my fave female rock bands is Heart - sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson. I think Nancy's a nifty guitar player, so I'm voting for her! :cool:
Aye when the likes of SRV idolise & play tunes in memory of Jimi & now satriani etc are playing hendrix tunes in memory of SRV says it all, Im a stevie ray all the way but hear satriani & co, hendrix & vaughan tribute its the most amazing piece of guitar music i've ever heard the hairs on the back of neck always stand upQuote:

PAH back to your turntables dolt
Just got a marketing email from Amazon..... new Rory Gallagher album, Stage Struck, now available.
Used to go see Rory in Manchester and Birmingham years ago. Superb live performer; best gig of the lot was one time at Manchester Apollo when all the stage power went off - he got right to the front of the stage and went acoustic while they fixed the problem. A lesser man would have gone off stage until the power was back - he just enjoyed playing. The roar of approval he got when the power was fixed was incredible even though I'd guess half the people in there couldn't have heard a thing of the acoustic set.
Another R.I.P., sadly....... now, where's me check shirt? :lol:
Joe Satriani, Carlos Santana, Doyle Bramhall to name but a few http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/mu...smiley-006.gif

How come no one's mentioned Peter Green yet? Some glorious stuff to listen to from the days when Fleetwood Mac was Fleetwood Mac, and not Fleetwood Fluffy Chicken.
