        Buckethead

        I've been playing guitar for ever and I love most of the players mentioned here. Pete Townshend is the reason I play so I definately like old school rock.
        That said the guitar players of today have insane technique that the previous generation would have sold their souls for.

        I cast my vote for BUCKETHEAD, He is the most original and inovative guitarist of this generation.

        You had Jimi H: Paradigm shifter When he played all the other guitarists went, WTF?
        You had Eddie VH: Paradigm shifter When he played all the other guitarists went, WTF?
        Then there were a buch of fast guys like Yngwie and Satch, they were great but they did not create a paradigm.
        Now there is BUCKETHEAD: Guitarists are saying WTF? again he is a Paradigm shifter.

        BTW, I know most of you haven't heard of him. Perhaps you should check him out.

          Fuck technique, rock and roll is about fucking SOUL

          Chuck Berry, Angus Young, and Pete Townshend come to mind but I can think of many more.

                BUCKETHEAD's got much feeling and soul in his playing it just goes by too fast for some people to hear.

                    Can't agree more, i know Buckethead is great but there are tons like him.

                    What about David Gilmour?, I think no one mentioned him. He doesn't have the best technique I know, but his solos definitely shake your soul, and that's what counts at the end of the day, right? Same reason why I don't like Yngwie.

                                        there is no question and if anyone thinks otherwise then they need to learn what music is. Eric Johnson is by far the best guitarist to date.

                                              I missed this for some reason and I could go off on a tangent about a hundred guitarists. But there is one guitar player that is my favorite musician of all time. Ritchie Blackmore is incredible but Steve Harris as a bass guitar player to me is the best rock guitarist of all time. Because bass guitar is still guitar

                                                Great response to this thread.

                                                I'm surprised as to how many Rhoads fans there are in here. The guy was only 25 or so when he died, but yes, he did kickstart a lot of styles / copycats.

                                                      Btw, Clapton: 0 votes.... that may be indicative of the amount of traffic your page is getting (lol), or it may mean that although I said he deserves to be included in the list (which he does) I voted for someone else, probably... and try to follow along here son.... because I think someone else is better.


                                                      Also btw, the term you're using on that page, "Stunt" guitarist.... that can be confusing to some. Stunt? Isn't there a difference between a stunt guitarist and the best rock guitarist of all time? I went on the premise of your thread title, but for "stunt" guitarist I imagine a guy who not only can play insanely but moves around the stage like a wildman. If that's the case Eddie Van Halen wins hands down I would think, followed by Pete Townsend.

                                                      If you're going to run any list like this and ask for people's opinions you'd be far better off keeping an open mind and let the people decide who should be on the list, instead of arguing and tainting the mix with your personal bias. Just a suggestion friend, no need to get panties twisted over it.

                                                      Cheers.

                                                          Yeah it's kinda surprising, but not totally. He came along at the right time and was just that good. He was young but had already been teaching at age 16, so plenty refined by the time he joined Ozzy.
