                I think I would have had Vai in there instead of ice cream boy Cherry Garcia.

                      Why? Because he could play Zappa leads really well? Originality and singularity of style in my mind should take precedence over all...

                          I honestly can't pick from that list. Too much greatness.

                            He did more than that, and had/has both originality and singularity of style. Look at the guy's body of work for christ sake... http://www.vai.com/AllAboutSteve/bands.html How can you sum it up with only his Zappa stuff? His work on DLR's Eat 'em and smile album was incredible.

                            Why is Garcia such a standout guitar god in your mind? Beyond some fun little stoner tunes frankly I'm not seeing the genius there.

                              Did Malmsteen every make a record that actually sounded good?

                              Quick does not equal quality.

                              How can you choose between Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Hendrix etc? Where are the Allman Brothers and Lynrd Skynrd lol... There is no 'best' one, just the one you feel like listening to at any given moment I think. Once they reach a certain level it's just a matter of deciding which flavor you want.

                                Love his improvisation, use of dynamics and ability to play different styles from jazz to bluegrass.

                                Speaking of...Trey Anastasio should be on the list.

                                  Steve Winwood? Isn't he much better known for his keyboard playing?

                                    The thing with Jerry is; you either get it or you don't.

                                        There are a lot of great guitar players on that list. Tony Iommi, Jimi Hendrix and David Gilmour are my faves on that list. But my all time favorite guitarist and musician is Bob Mould of Husker Du and Sugar fame, who is now a solo artist.

                                            Wow, some sucky guitarists on the list, yet greats like Steve Vai, or John Petruci are not there. WTF???

                                            Voted for the best on the list - Joe Satriani. No contest.

                                              Listen to Terrapin Station and tell me that Jerry can't hang with Vai, Belew, or even Malmsteen. Jerry also played on a ton of stuff outside the dead... check out his work with Ornette Coleman for example... Jerry is an innovator and a consumate stylist and completely unique. And I am a big fan of most of the players on that list... though I must say that I find Malmsteen boring after a listen or two.

There is no 'best' one, just the one you feel like listening to at any given moment I think. Once they reach a certain level it's just a matter of deciding which flavor you want.

                                                        I still think of him as a keyboard player, though.

                                                          I really should have had Steve Vai on the list, before Leslie West anyway.

This was before YouTube. Everyone wondered why he wasn't in a band, and he had said he didn't want the attention (although I recall video of him playing on stage somewhere).

                                                                                              It's not this guy either. They only recently tracked him down...
