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....
Chet Atkins of course!
Yngwie Malmsteen shreds like a...er....shredder!
Steve Vai - an all round ace in the pack!
Gary Moore - pulls all the right faces!
Somebody else whom I shall name below!
I am! I'm da best, the rest just mess....
RIP

I am living for today, always remembering yesterday, and looking forward to tomorrow!
Paul Gilbert...My God
the late great - rory gallagher --- a lost talent
gets my vote
I guess it has to be Martin Taylor.
You have a point. That would be some face-off.
has to be jimmy when i think back to the 1st time I seen him burn that guitar at woodstock, yeah fire.
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!

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 up
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?
Joe Satriani, Carlos Santana, Doyle Bramhall to name but a few
stage struck be a wicked album Mr Wock. Is that the one with Ted Mckenna on drums?? Top Priority is another class album again with TM on drums & the other album I like is Calling Card
Check shirts hehe I got a red one & every time I wear it I feel a need to play a strat
Until I went to look at the Amazon site I'd wondered if it might be a digital remaster, or something, of the original Stage Struck. But no; it's a double CD correctly titled "Rory Gallagher / Stage Struck" because it's a joint reissue of both those albums.
I've got Top Priority on vinyl (yayy for vinyl), Calling Card and Meeting with the G-Man on CD. Ted McKenna drummed Top Priority, and someone called Rod de'Ath (probably my appalling ignorance at work again) on Calling Card.
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.
