who is the best guitarist in the world for you?

For me, I would have to choose Jimmy Page. I think the guy was brilliant and still is. I think every guitarist out there aspires to learn Stairway To Heaven when they are beginning! It is hard to choose just one though as there have been many awesome guitarists over the years. Dave Gilmour is awesome too. Wish You Were Here is a big favourite for most guitarists to learn. Of course, one has to put Jimi Hendrix on the list as well as Clapton. But what about Angus Young? Try playing the guitar like he does while rolling all over the floor and jumping around like a madman!

Well, I guess there a lot of great guitarist out there. I play the guitar but is not very good at it. I do love Eddie Van Halen, as well as Brian May of the queen. I also have the liking for Mark Knofler of Dire Straits. I have a collection of Van Hallens, Queen and Dire Straits considering that they are my favorite.

i dunno abt u people .. abt i get whole lotta crazy listenin to eric clapton no.s ... hmm... he is god for me.. apart from him .. i lyk david gilmopus ( specailly dat comfortbaly unmb solo in pulse concert was \m/™ ..: :P :P //// and alvin lee blues ... love em :)

Every guitarist have their own style.So i think who's the best depending on everyone.But honestly i like Jimmie Hendrix.after that there are so many guitarist that good skill and technique.I love eddie van halen too.

I have lots of favorites, First metal guitarist that got me into rock and metal was James Hetfield & Kirk Hammett of Metallica and Slash of GnR. Then I was exposed to other guitar gods like Satriani, Steve Vai, & others that could exploit the guitar. lol. I also like Dream Theater's John Petrucci, also old blues guitarists like Eric Clapton & BBKing. Country guitarists/vocalists Keith Urban & Brad Paisley & more... I am always amazed with guitars but I haven't perfected my skills yet. I'm still a newbie when it comes to guitars, I lack speed and dexterity still.

i would pick Kirk Hammett of Metallica, Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine, and Slash each of them has their own unique styles of playing the strings, so it's hard to compare with each other. i like Kirk because of his ultra fast speed-pickings (both for doing riffs and solos), tappings with lots of followed-up hammer-ons and pull-offs, and those mind-blowing wah'd solos i like Tom because he is completely different from conventional lead guitarists, he creates weird sounds, hip-hop "riffs" and dj-like solos WITH HIS GUITARS and i like Slash because even he didn't took guitar lessons too seriously, he is still a bad-@$$, hard-melodic player

In rock, I pick Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits, whose fingering is straight from Paradise, in my opinion. Absolutely no-one can match his delicate & dream-begetting work on Brothers In Arms. Takes me right into the Music...every time. And it's hard to return to the mundane world after that.

Well i personally feel that Kirk Hammett(Metallica) and Carlos Santana are one of the best guitarist in the world. I like their songs and solos very much. And the best song of Metallica i like is "Fade to Black". This is the best ever song written by Metallica.

I am one of the biggest Bon Jovi fans there is! I don't think anyone can play the guitar like Richie Sambora! He is an aewesome guitar player! If i had the chance to take guitar lessons from anyone in the world, it would definitely have to be Richie!

I like Richie Sambora, the lead guitarist of Bon Jovi. But Bon Jovi is a good guitarist also in his own right.

I am not into rock and even so Slash always was very entertaining to watch, I find him the best. I started my guitar lessons just few days ago, it's very fun.

Eric clapton. There's nothing more to say..

the best guitarist for me would be eric clapton.a good guitarist is useless if he cant hypnotize his audience.and remember his name when they go home.

i would say johnny ramone =D but seriously,i guess jimmy hendrix was the best,but there´s also neil young,carlos santana and tony iommi =)

Hendrix. No one can beat Hendrix.

i grew up with hendrix and the like, all the heavy metal bands etc but as an overall great guitarist id say eddie van halen top them all, ole slow hand eric clapton is also tops on my list. if van halen was around with jimmy he'd wipe them all off the list.

It's pretty hard for me to narrow it down to my one ultimate favorite but I can list off all of my favorite guitarists and the bands that they play for. My favorite genre of music is probably technical metal and some of my favorite guitarists are Ben Weinman of The Dillinger Escape Plan, Brent Hinds of Mastodon, Brian "Head" Welch and "Munky" from Korn although I'm pretty sure that Head handled most of their lead work when he was still in the band. I'm also a pretty big fan of Stephen Carpenter of the Deftones and Adam Jones of Tool. I like all those bands most though because no one really stands out to much because all of the band members do a good job of matching each other's talent or drive each other to play better or differently.

i Like Naudo play from Youtube ... he can cover many song with his guitar style n make it acousticaly ...

Steve Vai. But that is just my opinion, because I love his works.

for me the best guitarist is no other than, kirk Lee Hammett.He is the one and only the best for me,not only that he is also an egoless famous guitarist.
