Who said Kirk Hammet? You've gotta be kidding me. Most of his solos don't even sound like they're in the right key.

Sod Kirk Hammet. I recently started listening to Led Zep again, and Jimmy Page is Brilliant!!! Anyone who says he is just a speedfreak is a complete arse who deserves to be hung, drawn and quartered, then have their entrails laminated and fed to vinny jones. Because he's not. Listen to a wide range of Led Zep, and if u still think that u are as dumb as.... A very dumb thing. Oh. And Dave Guilmor's brilliant too.

Has anyone heard any early Manics? James Dean Bradfield pretty decent too.

Page a speed freak? Don't you have to be fast to be a speed freak? But kidding aside, I like page, but more as a composer than as a player.

Nice board. Have not been playing that much these days, but still like to pick up my Martin and eek out a few tunes.
Anyway...my favorite guitarists (in no particular order):

Andres Segovia...He was the master
Randy Rhoads...I used to have some bootlegs of his studio sessions. The best stuff never made it to the public.
Alex Lifeson...I prefer his early stuff.
SRV...such feeling.

I like Jimmy Page as well, but I don't think he is that great of a guitarist. He is good, but I think he is a much better composer.

Joe Perry...for Train Kept a Rollin.

1. Hendrix
2. SRV
3. John Petrucci (Dream Theatre)
4. Brent Mason
5. Monte Montgomery (who is relatively unknown but I encourage you to searh for his music on
on Napster!!!)

This, of course is an extremely thin list, and many many others could be added.

I've been a huge Eric Johnson fan for over ten years but I've also enjoyed Julian Bream, John Williams, and Andreas Segovia. Lately I've been listening to quite a bit of Mike Stern and Wes Montgomery.
I've read through a lot of the other comments in this thread and I like listening to the other guitarists that are mentioned as well. They all seem to have something profound to offer the instrument.
I understand that this is a subjective choice but I find Eric Johnson's music to be almost spiritual.
Is anyone else out there with me?

I don´t like Malmsteen, he seems like he only knows the minor harmonic scale. I prefer rocker guys like Vai and Satriani

I've not heard any Vai or Satriani, but to me Malmsteen seems a very good guitarist. He is original and creative, and i like him. As for whether he's God or Devil, i don't really care. I use God in a metaphorical term saying he's good. And i've been accused of being the son of Satan myself...

Stratman, it´s only a point of view. I want to make a diversity of opinions about a single guitarrist
