After last nights performances I would say John and Issac should rate up there.
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....
Jeff Healeys playing is a major achievement to say the least, Amazing to see him play, His version of My guitar gently weeps is brilliant
After last nights performances I would say John and Issac should rate up there.

mmmm...like Jeff Healey, and with him being a Canuck, I probably SHOULD vote for him, BUT
David Gilmour - most underrated guitarist
Jeff Beck - jest because I like him...
Eric Clapton - cuz he can make me cry
Yngie Malmsteen plays scales faster than anyone I've ever heard, but speed's not as important as soul...and unfortunately he doesn't seem to have much.
And yes, Sutherland and son rate up there too!
The edge U2
go on shred him but at the Joshua Tree he was smoking, enough to carry him on this far.
rotflmfao
so your the bigfoot everybodys lookin for
John Mclaughlin is right up there.
and for the Highschool banter vote I always felf David Gilmour knows how to hit the right note at the right time.
i have so many favourites lol. if i had to pick....hmmm
Eric clapton is definitley one of the best for me. his music holds alot of meaning to me on a personal level and he is despite what some people think still a pretty good guitarist with alot of feeling in his playing. Stevie Ray Vaughan is also one of my favourites as far as blues goes. he was amazing. also ihave been interested by some local musicians over the years. we do have ALOT of talent up here. maybe more than what some people seem to think!!
Could well be Brain May for me. Can never decided if it was his playin' or the sound he had.nice combination me thinks!
And although he wasn't technically the best guitar player ever Robbie Robertson played with genuine feeling. its was much more noticable when u seen him live.
im surprised no-one mentioned the late great, dimebag darrell from pantera/ damageplan.
Who is the best? - Joe Satriani - Technique, Speed and Emotion
Who can play the fastest? - Rusty Cooley - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Who is the most melodic? - Dave Gilmour - GOD!
Who dazzles you with innovation and creativity? - Mattias Eklundh
Whos the daddy? - Kiko Loureiro
So many to choose from!!!
But among the truly greatest (in no particular order....because it would keep changing depending on my mood):
Jimi Hendrix
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Dave Gilmour
Eric Clapton
Jimmy Page
Eric Johnson
Chuck Berry
ur forgettin someone... the Edge -+- for U2. HE IS THE BEST!!!

All the guitarists mentioned in this thread, with a few exceptions, could be blown off the stage by Segovia, John Williams or Julian Bream. The exceptions being Les Paul and John Mclaughlin and perhaps Martin Taylor.
In the image of God? You must be joking!
But is not every post on this thread a matter of opinion? Some opionions are based on limited knowledge and experience and some are based on many years of experience and great knowledge. Never the less, each post is a matter of opinion and I fail to see why you should bother to state the obvious.
