I think that there are a lot of guitarists that are similar but not really comparable. How do we compare Eddie Van Halen to Eric Clapton. Angus Youngs riff magic to the soloing and rhythmic magic of SRV. These guys are awesome in their own niche.

BUT...my favorites...

SRV
EVH
Eric Clapton
Angus Young
Randy Rhodes
and that six year old on youtube, Zoey, she is far better than me.

Rock On.
