Ah, well, i did it. I started this up. There might be another forum just like this going on right now, i could see that happening but oh well.
1. Best guitar player in my eyes? Tom Morello
2. Daron malikan, wow, very inavative with his playing and he is still young
3. jimmi hendrix, obvious right there.

Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, Jimi Hendrix, or Stevie Ray Vaughn.

*Chant* Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny!

(John Frusciante, that is - current guitarist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers)

Also, Hillel Slovak (First guitarist of RHCPs) and Dave Navarro (RHCPs for a short time).

I assume we cannot add bass guitarists? If we could, Flea would be in the list :D

I'm not obsessed, I tell ye!

if we could add bass guitarists then John Entwistle would be right up there!

Eric Clapton, all the way.

Richie Sambora can cut a mean solo as well.</font>

My flatmate would probably vote for Squarepusher in the bassplaye genre ;) He's into electronic music, and I don't get it one thing.. all those bleeps! You would turn crazy in seconds!

So many good ones to choose. It's such an expressive instrument, and the really good ones have a style all their own.

In the rock(-ish) genre, I can't choose. Hendrix, Clapton (more blues, possibly), Santana, Jonny Lang, and Lindsay Buckingham (Fleetwood Mac) are my top five.

Big fan of Mark Knopfler as well. He did an album with Chet Atkins that shows more variety than his Dire Straights stuff.

1) Carlos Santana
2) Jimi Hendrix
3) Eric Clapton

I agree with Juradu on John Fusciante imho one of the best guirists around.
As best Bassist i'd have to say Robert Turner of the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/images/r...3/brmc_420.jpg

Since when is Axl Rose a GUITARIST? :confused:

Come on guys, anyone heard the band Primus... ?

There is no question who is the best Bass player on this plane... no strike that... in the galaxy... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Sorry, meant to say Slash, wasn't thinking.

Add Joe Satriani to the list aswell.

That would be David Gilmour

I will put him on my list also, 3rd though. He will not make too many lists, because in the majority of pf songs all he wrote was the guitar solos. But he wrote some of the songs also....

2nd Ill put slash. Only for a very small amount of material really when compared with these older ones. But I really dig the solos of gnrs 2 biggest hits sweet child of mine and november rain....


1st is definitely jimi page. Just the greatest rock composer ever.
