I like Eddie, but he's not the best in my book. I'd even be hard pressed to say who was the best ever, I'd probably change my mind half a dozen times before changing my mind another half a dozen times.
But I have to say one of my faves of all time and the only guitarist to consistently wow me in live performances (seven times, so far) - Tim Sult from Clutch/The Bakerton Group. The man is just amazing.
Based on their wikipedia they sound like a softer version of Dream Theatre. Not that that is a bad thing necessarily
U like Eddie, but some guy named Tim Sult is amazing? THanks for playing and your parting gift is The BEe Gees collected works of the 60's.
Ah, so if I don't worship at the altar of Eddie, some random dude thinks I can't possibly know what I'm on about? I can live with that.
Actually, im nto some random dude..IAM_THATDUDE, which automatically gives more weight to my opinions. PLus I know everything and since Tim Sult is not on my radar he must suck.
Oh, please forgive, I wasn't up to speed on your mightiness! You need to work on your pr. Seriously, check the guy out sometime, you might be pleasantly surprised.
They kinda sound like a more mellow Dream Theatre...not a bad thing per se0 -
I think Ted Nugent deserves a mention in this thread. The solo in Stranglehold has to be one of the all time best guitar solos.
My personal favorite, though, is Daniel Johns.0 -

Agreed, Stranglehold was my ringtone for a solid 6 months. Daniel Johns is a better songwriter than guitar player.0 -
Julian Bream
John Williams
Andres Segovia

True. He's just my favorite overall musician. Kind of a Silverchair freak.0 -
Jack White sucks.

The second best guitar player of all time is dead. Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Sadly so is the first. Jimi Hendrix.
Best living guitar player is Jimmy Page, followed closely by Jeff Beck.
Ask Eddie. He will confirm it! :happy:

6. Yngwie Malmsteen
7. Joe Satriani

I wasn't being facetious0 -
sorry, stevie ray vaughan is #1
sorry he is not. He is not actually in the top 10..his death overrates him. Good, not great. In fact I would argue his playing is recycled and deriritave0 -

Man you are "that dude" to put SRV in a category as overrated simply because he is dead. If you have not been grabbed by a single note of his playing (which has more attack, heart, soul, and grit than most guitarist can play in a lifetime) you sir, or...dude...are missing a few cells and ear for pure expressionism.0 -

4) The Edge
