Hey Guys,
I really love playing guitars and listening guitar oriented music. Have seen lots of guitarist and listened to lots of them. But i could never decide who was the best.
Some really good ones which i listen to are
Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Slash, Stevie Rawon, Eric Clapton, Yngwie Malmsteen, and as being a Pakistani, i also admire people like Aamir Zaki, Faraz Anwer, Asad Ahmad.
above ones r those which i have listened to, but you can name anyone who is internationally recognied.
Now YOU guys tell me who do u think is 'THE BEST'?
Waiting For Responses
Cheers;-)

i think the best guitarist is notthe one who plays the fastest or the most complicated riffs but one who can compose really good sounding melodious music...in that sense i would vote for eric clapton.

Prince is well known for being able to play many instruments and there is no doubt within the music industry that he is one the worlds leading guitarists. Prince taught himself to play by the age of 13 and by 16 was able to play Santana note for note. When he hit the mainstream with his first album at the age of 20 he was already being compared to the likes of Hendrix. And he still had a long way to go. One thing that become apparent very early on with Prince was that he wasn’t tied down to one style of music and excelled with a versatility not seen in anyone else before or since. Because of this versatility not all his released music is guitar focused and therefore he hasn’t always been judged for his skills as a guitarist. Arranging and Producing his own music from the beginning Prince has also become an extremely adept guitar engineer in the studio and live on stage with an ability to manage a wide range of effects simultaneously, whilst also arranging the other band members’ sections. His ability to play guitar at the top of his game in all styles of music shows how skillful he is, and there has not been one stage he has performed on where he hasn’t torn the house down. From loud, dirty, distorted and burning fast to slow acoustic and emotionally charged playing, Prince’s range on guitar is even larger than that of his vocal range. There are technical guitarists and there are talented guitarists and then there is simply Prince

You certainly have listed some of the best. I love Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimi Hendrix too though. They are both guitar legends in their own right. Joe Satriani is one of the best I have ever heard though. You are studying the masters, that is certain. Keep up the good work, and keep those fingers flying.
