Sticking neck out: Randy Rhoads
Such great compositions on Blizzard of Oz, they don't come across as "solos", just parts of the song. And he shreds them too.

Not the best, but your favourite guitarist

Really enjoying Joe Bonamasa at the moment. Bit of a change of pace to my usual wirepounding.

He is probably up there in any of the best lists too....
But Eddie Van Halen has always been the king of ten fingers and six strings for me. From the solo of Eruption to the rhythm guitar on Big Bad Bill is Sweet William Now his playing is just great.

Dimebag Darrell. Shame to go in such a horrible way.

i keep coming back to Stevie Ray Vaughan. I don't listen to him loads and have to be in the mood but he really was amazing. He just hit the guitar SO hard and seemed to play rhythm at the same time as playing a solo!

Slash from Guns n Roses

Probably Michael Schenker (when he's not being an alcoholic or whatever). Strangers in the Night influenced my lead playing a lot.

Listened to loads over the years, but still enjoy Mr Blackmore's style the best
Not even sure why, but just seems to be different to anyone elsePosted 1 year ago # -
Another vote for Johnny Marr. A completely unique style. An absolute legend!

Enjoying Bonamassa on youtube right now - ta.

John Squire everytime. Although his solo album was shite.

Currently Joe Bonamassa whom I saw (again) on Sunday.
He is so brilliant!Overall, it's difficult cos I also love Hendrix, SRV, Gary Moore, Neil Young. I better stop now.
Actually at the moment I'm more into rock than bikes!

Has to be Richard Thompson. Such a variety of playing styles and song writing.

I really like 'edge'. He's not the best by some way, but gas come up with some truely awesome stuff. Has a lot of tiny detail and flair.
Hendrix for me is the all time great. The stuff he was doing, at such a young age is mindblowing

Walter Trout. Technically competent rather than outstanding but nonetheless he makes that guitar sing.

Matt Bellamy. Unfairly talented, but with Edge-like command of the whole FX/weird noises side of guitar to boot. He can be a wee bit fretwanky but usually it works as part of the songs. I just love the way he takes on influences. "I like Steve Vai. I'll learn to play like him. OK, done. Next? Tom Morello. Next? Buddy Guy. Next?" It's taken Tom Morello all his life to learn to play like Tom Morello, it took Matt Bellamy about 2 years. Then he got bored of it.

And then he goes and does this

Not enough being a damn fine guitarist, he can fairly wail on a pipe organ too. I've never heard or felt anything like it in my life
Having said that I've got a lot of time for Simon Neil from Biffy Clyro. Not the best guitarist in the world- though no slouch- but I remember the first time I heard them thinking "Hey, that lead guitarist's pretty good. The rhythm guitarist's not bad either. Hey, where's the rhythm guitarist?" and then realising it was just him.
