    The best, I have to say Jason becker.
    For his age when he played, he was like a guitar prodigy.
    To bad he got ALS :'(
    (its kinda ironic though in a bad way)

    there should be different areans for best guitarist votes. we can all sit here until our fingers bleed from typing arguing who is the best and still not agree.

    blues guitarists can't compete with heavy metal players. heavy metal players cant compete with flamenco players. flamenco players cant compete with classical guitarists. etc. etc. etc.

    could BB King play a Pantera song like it should be played? probably not, but that doesnt mean he is worse or better than someone else.

    and don't count out bass players either. they are often overshadowed by they leads.

    My personal favorites (best or heavily notable):

    Jim Hendrix
    Carlos Santana
    Joe Satriani
    Alvin Lee (Ten Years After) ... just to make sure he gets a mention

    Notable for various reasons:
    George Harrison

    THE Best? I agree with Red, and I really can't vote for 1 Best-of-all.

    If anyone might not agree with (or doesn't really know) Alvin Lee/Ten Years After, give a listen to "I Can't Keep From Crying" ... beginning at about 2:00 and for the next 6 minutes. It's sweet, even immaculate in places, Chet-Atkins-perfect ... Santana-ish for a minute or so ... etc.

    Same thing

    could BB King play a Pantera song like it should be played? probably not,
    If he knew who Pantera were he could do the riffs but probably not the solo.


    and don't count out bass players either. they are often overshadowed by they leads.
    Not if they're called Les Claypool, Mark King, Geddy Lee or Cliff Burton
