Come ooon...James Burton is king! Says so right on my handle.

But if I had the time, there would be so many I would add. And they're not all country pickers, either.

i think hendrix is the best, if you gave him a satriani tab tho i dont think he could play it!, he makes it all up as he goes along an he dosent stick to the threory! thats why he rules!

i ws in a guitar shop today and looking at a tab book on jimi hendrix and i looked in it and its just like binary!
i bet even the real jimi hendrix couldent play that out of the book!

This is a silly question...... as the late great Roy Buchanan said " there is no # 1 " What criterion is used to judge who is the " best " guitarist ?? The best at what..... electric, acoustic, slide, blues, country, classical,etc. etc. No one here has heard every guitarist who ever played. It's like saying who makes the best chocolate cake in the world or who is the best looking woman - it's all subjective.

wow, that is extremely hard.
ok see here is my take.
Stratocaster=> SRV,Hendrix,Clapton, JFrusciante
Telecaster=> Brad Paisely, Jimmy page
Gibson SG>>>Angus Young, (forgot derek trucks)and Jack Black,lol he is talented though.
Gibson Les Paul>>>>Joe Bonomasa,Jimmy Paige,Joe Walsh,Slash
Gibson es335>>>> Eric Clapton Cream days
I know, you meant just one or a few.
its hard to point out favorites.

i didnt mention Santana,PRS, however i love his style, not too into his music. one thing for sure, all you need to hear is 4-5 notes on almost any given riff, or lick in a song, and you know its Santana all he way.
do give him props.....

There are some very important names missing from the poll. What about EVH? There are many greats but my personal favorite & who I would vote for is Stevie Ray Vaughan.

IMO Rory Gallagher was the best. As for a living guitar player, Buddy Guy.
