Yeah..Eddie is great also.

But I think we may even forget someone who really doesn't get alot of kudos for the great guitarist that he is...

 

Brian May from Queen.

 

 

He rocks!

 

Queen is the greatest band all together. Mark Knopfler is one damn good guitar player, but not best.

 

If you wanna see a good guitar player, look at jazz players. I'm trying to learn jazz, and it's pretty hard.

 

The best guitarist of all time is....

 

DJANGO REINHARDT!

 

Let me guess, no one in the whole thread knows him, huh?

I know all about Django.

There's also Bireli Lagrene out of the same tradition, and better if anything (though admittedly he does have all his fingers), and Sylvain Luc.

 

Nobody mentioned Larry Carlton. Nobody mentioned Robben Ford, or Steve Lukather. There is actually a guitar scene outside metal :biggrin: :biggrin:

All these guys are on Youtube..

Knopfler is great, as well as the others. I'm surprised that no one lists Peter Frampton, and you cannot leave David Gilmour off of the list, either. His lead solos on the songs "Time" and "Money" are classic.

 

Gilmour could hold his own in a "dueling lead guitars" with Hendrix.

 

And lest we forget, ZZ Top?

TBH, my guitar genius of a teacher, actually, 4 teachers, have said that ZZ Top are not very good guitarists......

The timeless beauty within a lead guitar solo is singularly within the listener's ear. I listen not to detractors, but to the music and derive my own enjoyment.

John Petrucci from Dream Theater could be a true candidate.

 

As for past glories, for sure Hendrix and Clapton stand up.

 

More I would candiate from present times:

 

- Adrian Smith

- Joe Satriani

- David Gilmour

- Mark Knopfler for sure

 

Personally I do not like Yngwie Malmsteen so much. He is bloody fast but without significant variations, so becomes boring after a bit.
