    Jordan Rudess, Derek Sherinian and Kevin Moore of course :D

    Well at least I got Rudess :)

    Forgot about Kevin Moore, although I prefer Rudess' playing. He is awesome on Train of Thought as is Petrucci.

    Well seeing as someone noted earlier that this topic should really be your favourite guitarist then my favourite (as measured by their impact on ME) is Paul McCartney, closely followed by George Harrison. The rest of you can keep the mostly obscure (to me, but I'm sure very talented) guitarists mentioned above.

    How the hell could these names not have been mentioned...!?

    - Slash
    - Eric Clapton
    - Dave Murray
    - Adrian Smith

    Slash ranks above all in my opinion...however Clapton has won most best guitar player" rankings I've seen...

    John5 from Marilyn Manson, you can download a cover of 'Sweet Georgia Brown' on this link.
    EDIT: this is strictly John5 and has nothing to do with Marilyn Manson.

    Slash and Clapton are good guitarists indeed but they are not really in the same league as Vai Satch Gilbert etc

    [​IMG] Well a little a bit from the old class:
    Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) is one of the best guitar players
    Eric Clapton (Cream),
    Jimmy Hendrix (------//------ experience) - no comment,
    Phil Manzanera's guitar made what is Roxy Music as we all know it and like it(Roxy Music),
    Pete Townshend is genius (the Who),
    Robbie Krieger is very talented and his contribution to Doors is immense.
    Dave Davies - Kinks. He and his brother Ray made Kinks one of the greatest and most influential bands in the rock 'n roll era...


    The new line:
    Graham Coxon formerly from Blur - one of the greatest modern guitar players nowadays. Also one fabulous songwriter pursuing his own career without Blur.
    Noel Gallagher - no comment I think. As great songwritet as guitar player he is..
    Jonny Greenwood - Radiohead - "but I'm a Creep, I'm a weirdo" He's fantastic musician. His contribution to the band so far isn't big enough but shimmer with genius - the final songs for both Ok Computer and Hail to the Thief were written by him.
    Ed O'Brien is also deep and fantastic musician as his fellow mate Greenwood.
    Thom Yorke - sam as Noel Gallagher - as great musician as great songwriter.

    my 3 favourites:

    1)Tommy Emmanuel (great guitarist and great entertainer, you have to see him live before you die, my advice)
    2) Eddie Van Halen (just hands down an awesome guitarist and he is soo cool and casual)
    3) THE LEGEND!!! Jimmy Hendrix (but sadly dead) :(

    Don't you scandic people like Mattias Eklundh? He is easily the best guitarist to come from Scandinavia. You should check out his album Freak Guitar. It makes a welcome change from Vai/Satch.

    /me plays a blistering air guitar solo, based on the musical stylings of Hendrix, Carlos Santana, Joe Satriani, Dave Mustaine, Kirk Hammett, Kerry King, Randy Rhodes, and Tony Iommi.
