Who's your favorite guitarist?

It's nice hearing about a "new" guitar hero. That's so much more refreshing than seeing another damn Jimi Hendrix picture.

Jimi Hendrix, Duane Allman, Jeff Beck, Robin Trower, Duane Allman, Angus Young, Shawn Lane,Randy Rhodes, Pete Townsand,Stevie Ray Vaughn.

david effing gilmour. he can weave his guitar in to compliment a song as good as anyone, and can also step up and deliver the most intense, heartfelt solos imaginable. also great at creating atmosphere. those things make him #1 for me.

Eddy Van Halen. To me, the greatest by a mile. I love his stuff.

A highly subjective subject!First of all you need to seperate styles,impact and sustainability in history.How can you compare some one like Django Reinhardt to Jimi Hendrix to Richard Thompson to Stevie Ray Vaughn to Jeff Beck to Al Dimeola to Robert Johnson to Jimmy Page and so on and and so on and so on!!!!!! so let's keep this forum to your FAVOURITE guitarist,something that is a personal thing and lets not get into pedantic bullshit.My FAVOURITE guitarist would be Stevie Ray Vaughn,because when I hear him I still get blown away.
