Yngwie Malmsteen, if you listen closely he's amazing. Hendrix and Santana come to mind also.

They all sound the same to me. But the list above me would be some of the more influential guitarists.

Jason Becker was f!cking incredible! Imagine how good he would be today if he could still play. Sad really. If he hadn't got that disease he would have been the most technically accomplished guitar player of all time. He's quadraplegic now.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

As far as technical skills Yngwie Malmsteen or Steve Vai by a longshot, but there is more than just speed to playing guitar. For example Joe Satriani or Eric Clapton can create some very emotional songs but are far from speed demons (actually Satriani can play pretty well too
). My personal favorite however is John Petrucci because I like his style and the type of music he creates (SFAM: Home).

Has everyone forgotten about Rusty Cooley? In my opinion he is the most able guitarist.

my good friend larry, great at guitar. All songs recorded in various basements, so its not the greatest quality. Hes started writing 10 songs at the age of 14, (they arent up becasue he has no copyright)-

The Fact Marty Friedman hasn't been mentioned is an outrage. Listen to the solo in Tornado of Souls with megadeth, thunder march or any song for that matter. If Becker is the technique god then marty takes feeling to another level.
I like Gilbert+Tafollas albums.
Vinnie Moore has a couple of good songs
Axel Rudi Pells solo in the song Magic is undescribable...
If you go by Pure technique then Micheal Dangelo is the most accomplished guitar player ever. Just imagine doing sweep picking @ 200 BPM in sixteenths septoles playing upside down.Rebuilding the ruins... stone by stone

van halen is up there, but I dont think there is one greatest guitarist, it would be difficult to compare.

That's the exact way I would explain his way of playing. I've heard loads of guitar gurus and Marty is one of the few who really goes his own way.Originally Posted by Addicted 2 Oatshey i mentioned him!

which means nothing.Originally Posted by duhfewcha6
the majority of those polls you see in guitar mags put popular, not so great players like kurt kobain, hammet, and hetfield in the top 50, while at the same time forgetting to mention the lesser known virtuoso's like allan holdsworth, andy timmons, who are much more skilled.
i dont know exactly which list you are speaking of, but post it and i guarantee there will be many guitarists on there who have no business being on a top anything list while some of the greatest of all time go unmentioned.
). My personal favorite however is John Petrucci because I like his style and the type of music he creates (SFAM: Home).
