Well, i dont think he is the best but buckethead is pretty bad ass. i was going to put a link to his nottingham lace video on youtube but somebody beat me to it. But of course when talking about the greatest guitarists you have to mention, hendrix, page, clapton, petrucci, and van halen
Jimi hendrix, hands down.
With probably... shit i dont know.
For sheer technical genius its SRV.
But for style and music people like George Benson, Buddy Guy, B.B. King.
Shouts out to Django Reinhardt.
is that a joke?Quote:

Lizzie "Kid" Douglas, "Memphis Minnie
I love Neil Young on the guitar :thumbsup:
As far as bass, nobody comes close to Flea from the chili peppers.
+1 to the first comment. Hes one of those guitarists that isnt necessarily technically that good but his style is dripping and instantly recognizable, almost his own genre of guitar, lots of hammer on hammer off and shit, hes awesome.Quote:

Eddie Hazel, if this name dont ring a bell then i HIGHLY recomend this video YouTube - Eddie Hazel 1979

John Frusciante

YES! Eddie hazel is my favorite guitarist of all time. Maggot brain is one of my favorite albums of all time. Y'all should check out hazels solo joint games dames and guitar thangs. It is kinda rare to find but incredible. Him and Hendrix are the two best guitarists of all time imhoQuote:
