Being a beatles fan i would have to say George Harrison (he was the best guitarist in that band)

also being british makes me want to say Eric Clapton or Brian May

Eddie Van Halen (Van Halen, duh), Randy Rhoads (Ozzy Osbourne),Glenn Tipton + Kenneth Downing(Judas Priest), Angus Young + Malcom Young (AC/DC). There are plenty more, but you know the page may be full with my list

mick from slipknot is kwazey!

Don't forget Phil Keaggy - there are interviews with Hendrix where people ask him what he thinks of being called the greatest guitarst in the world. . . he replies by saying that Phil is the best.

Joe Walsh (The Eagles) and Eric Clapton

Hendrix

hendrix,mick and james from slipknot,megg from coal chamber,joey from murderdolls,and alot more

Hendriks

Actually, I'll second that. Phil rocks.

Also, Stevie Ray Vaughn blows your pants off.

No one

Yngwie Malmsteen and Hideto Matsumoto.

i heard Yngwie Malmsteen was a selfish jerk

One of the most creative modern guitarists I would have to say is Tom Morello.

Listen to him, he's a real treat my friend

I'm surprised no one has really listed any REAL Metal guitarists? I've seen Tony Iommi and Wylde atleast, but you're forgetting alot. Hmmm, maybe there just aren't enough people on this site who listen to the "older" stuff as well. *BTW Prince is a pretty good guitarist, and almost every hair metal band from the 80s had a kick ass guitarist, more so than not the rarer ones.

Glenn Tipton, KK Downing, Kerry King, Keith Richards(the dead live!), Angus Young, John Christ, and best of all, Nigel Tufnel(still going to 11).

Jesse Cook.

mike campbell
slash
geroge harrison
angus young
carlos santana eric clapton r my favs.
