Most recognizable guitar tone...
# 1
I'd go along with Brian May. I could tell it's him within a few notes. You can tell with Hendrix straight off too. Peter Green is pretty recognisable to- better than clapton too.
# 2
I'd probably say Hank Marvin's AC30/Matchless echoey tones and Chuck Berry.Also , any of you heard of Albert Lee-awsome!!
"When I was a kid,all I wanted was a red electric guitar.It had to be red,because of Hank and his magical sound." Mark Knopfler on Hank Marvin.

I can't really recognize albert lee, because a lot of country players have taken a lot from his style...
# 4
Willie Nelson, for the most recognizable guitar tone and voice, I love his songs and voice, but please Willie, retire that toneless piece of firewood, that last time I saw him on TV, the hole thats worn in the top was big enough to pull a small child thru....

The most beautiful guitar solos I've ever heard were both by
Alex Lifeson from Rush on the Album Exit.. stage left. Check out the first solo from Xanadu, he uses volume swells to cut out the pick sound (violining is a name commonly given to this) and give a brilliant brooding overdrive from the low notes with a nice hall reverb. Then he violins some really clear natural harmonics. It lasts about a minute and should go on for ever.
The best solo I've ever heard by anyone is probably the middle solo on La Villa Strangiato, he does the violining again, plenty of soulful bending, shrieking pinch harmonics and blinding speed runs and tuneful but irregular and inventive phrasing.
This guys tone has always been awesome but sadly his solos rarely demonstrate his remarkable talent these days.
There's an (inconsistantly) brilliant guitarist called Terje Rypdal from Norway who shares Lifeson's glacial violining and melodic prowess and plays under the ECM label. Most of his stuff is mediocre but some is exquisite.
In my opinion the most consistently excellent guitarist ever is Joe Satriani, check out the forgotten II, Rubina, Echo etc.. Whooah!

If I couldn't laugh at myself how could I laugh at someone less ridiculous?

I'd agree with the guy who said Wes Borland has a recognisable tone/sound. He's got to be the only one of the 'nu-metal'(shudder) that has is own sound. I like him. Limp Bizkit are going to struggle with out him. That red cap **** Durst is up his own arse. I heard somewhere that Wes might join Guns n Roses.....I really can't imagine that.

The censoring on this sight makes me laugh. You can say arse but not 't w a t'. And if you put a few spaces in everyone knows what you said.

I'm surprised only one person has mentioned EVH. He has easily the most recognizable tone of any 80's metal hair rocker.
# 11
# 12
I think EVH is underrated now because all the albums since 1984 have been a load of bollocks.Some of that bollocks is incredibly bad.Awful.Aggggh.I'd rather listen to Britney Spears. Still played well though,and in his own style. But utter bollocks. (Hope the guy gets better healthwise as he is one of the all time greats.)

Probably Steve Morse, Knopfler, Santana.
You could recognize those guys in a milion.

I think it's Mark Knopfler..he has very unique licks and style, and the sound of his guitar is easily recognizable......then Santana
Sherif Shaaban (Dr_Frankenstein™)

Terje Rypdal, very obscure norwegian guitarist. His tone is very distinctive, he does lots of volume swells and has a vintage fender strat sound. Some of his stuff is bloody brilliant with great tunes and some ripping solos; the rest ( sadly) is crap.
Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew from king crimson; I don't know which is which but they;re both very weird and distinctive players. Check out indiscipline. I think fripp did that solo from Mate Kudesai with lots of prebends and volume swells, we're talking pure tone hear!
