As dumb of a debate as it was 20 years ago
What makes someone great? Technical ability? Influence?

Arguing over technical ability is pointless

I prefer influence on the next generation of guitarists as my measure

It all starts with Robert Johnson, all of it

i honestly think "dimebag derrell" isn't that great..

ok,but who is your fav and why?Dimebag appealed to many but of course not everyone.^Btw bass guitarist dont count in this thread^.there is a difference as we all know,though Cliff Burton was an incredible bassist i can agree.

So people who is it for you?Tell me weather it be metal, rock, blues,classical, hell even country.


Kirk Hammet- even though Metallica is played out on some levels Kirk is a god.
Dimebag Darell- of Pantera,one of the best ever (RIP).
Jesper Stromblad-From In Flames,dam good sound.

So people theres my faves cmon bringem!:blsmoke:
David Gilmour from none other than Pink Floyd. Fucking bittersweet groove, there's nothing else like it.
Is anybody going to mention Justin Beiber as favorite guitarist? I love to hate that little pile of premature ejaculate. Kid should be in school, not wasting all days on the Disney Brain Douche network with thousands of illegal girls shrilling, making me want to punch babies

Al Di Meola tops my list

Friday Night in San Francisco featuring Al along with John McLaughlin and Paco De Lucia is one of the best guitar concerts ever.

Angus Young all the way.
Self-taught, he uses his own scale. Like a pentatonic but with an extra note. It took me years to work out.
Never been a huge fan of AC/DC but saw them in concert last time they came through Atlanta and seeing Angus perform was a real treat. His solos and one-handed playing were something spectacular to see and hear.

Id have to say jimi, some of that stuff is just crazy.. And I really like this guitarist named boris, hes like.. God. Ill post some videos in a sec
 
Jimi re-invented the electric guitar in the 60's. And I will have to say Tom Morello took it even further and he gets my vote for number one (today anyway).
Derek Trucks
Duane
David Gilmour
John 5
