Best Living Guitarist
Jimmy Page - with daylight second
Dave Meniketti (that should get you all googling furiously
)
Robby Shakespear
Joey Santiago
btw did you know that Brian May is Vim Fuego (I know adrian edmonson plays the character but Brian May plays the guitar on the albums). I had the Badnews tapes when i was young and he produced both albums, and did most of the serious guitar work.
Dr Know - Bad Brains
Johnny Marr >The Smiths< (hope he is still alive!)
Mind you the boy White from the White Stripes is a promising young player!

JOhnny MArr is still alive and kicking mate - plays a lot of guest appearances at last check!
My vote goes to Steve Vai, the man who once played 21 notes in a second
John Petrucci or Eddie Van Halen
John Frusciante or Matthew Bellemy
and after Tuesday week, I suggest it may be Robert Smith
Ollie Olsen.
Is he still alive?
Johnny Marr - yes excellent as well.
J. Mascis from Dinosaur Jr.
Went to see Dinosaur Jnr in Auckland, great show but an awful
unanimated and lethargic crowd rather spoilt it. I recently
watched a doco on Rainbow and you forget how good Ritchie Blackmore
is/was. I remember when Sounds music magazine was at its hight,
(early-mid 80's), people would vote for Blackmore as best
guitarist pretty much every year in the readers poll in those days.
I always liked Alex Lifeson, (Rush), until I got into other
types of music, could'nt say nowadays....(grabs slippers and a cup
of cocoa). Live Jack White was pretty good.
Can't say best - is impossible. Different styles of music and all
that. Favourite, though, is a different story.
Probably Teppei Teranishi from Thrice in the Identity Crisis/Illusion of Safety/Artist in the Ambulance days
Oh, and Josh Homme from QOTSA

Eddie Van Halen, an absoulte pioneer in the world of rock
guitaring.....but its hard becoz of the different styles around
these days.
Way Back When: Jimmy Page (Led Zep)
80's/90's or NWOBHM: Dave Murray (Iron Maiden)
For old school rock and innovation: Eddie Van Halen/Steve Vai/Yngwie Malmsteen
The "Grunge" Days: Tom Morrello (RATM)
Thrash/Hardcore Metal: James Root (Slipknot/Stone Sour)

As a non-musical instrument playing gimp I'm in awe of anyone who
can play guitar. I was once seduced into giving physical
love to a plain looking waif-like girl simply because she
could play "Where is my mind?' by The Pixies...
Buddy Guy - blues legend - think Stevie Ray Vaughan but more
edgy (no, not a U2 reference)
now if Stevie were still alive ....
Do you reckon budding young tennis stars used their guitars to
practice their volleys and backstrokes in their bedrooms when they
were teenagers?
Geez bloody hell, what a bunch of dags (with a few honourable
exceptuions).
Just for fun - and for today only - my votes go to:
James Muller
Snooks Eaglin
Dave Malone/Camille Baudoin
John Martyn
(Dead ones: Jerry Garcia, Randy California, Bob Dunn, Duane
Allman, Charlie Christian)
heh
..the actual BLG still a secret
Eric Clapton....Hello????
bleh ec
..next u'll be saying mark knopfler
been a few worthy mentions to be sure & a few obvious
omissions ..but we're talking BLG here
No
Next I would have said John Mayer. That kid can flat out play.....

Joe Satriani would be my pick.
Lots of great guitarists but not many can stand up and play the whole thing without sounding repetitive. Only downside is someof his live stuff isn't that great. Taught Steve Vai and lots of others at GIT (the guitar institute). If you're asking about best guitarist as part of a band that's a different story...
I fink Alex Skolnick out of Testament is pretty well wicked. Gary Moore sounds good too esp the older rock stuff but there are others more technicalyl skillful like Satriani and Vai.
