Best guitarists to ever walk the earth..

[TOOL9]

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

[Runaway Jim]

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.

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.

But on bass, Flea is mediocre compared to people like Victor Wooten (of Bela Fleck & The Flecktones for those not in the know), Jaco Pastorius (Weather Report) or Bootsy Collins (P Funk and James Brown). Theres simply no comparison.
