        They are both very good IMO but I would say Satriani considering that Vai took lessons from him when he first started. Vai showed up with a guitar with no strings and a pack of strings and wanted to learn how to play. Mind you Vai did get alot of his style from Frank Zappa which is why they only sound a little bit alike. Another one of my favs is George Lynch...

              Metheny is awesome...

              but so is Al Di Meiola

              Randy Rhoads wasn't too shabby either

              There is NO such thing as a "best guitarist".

              There are so many awesome guitarists...

              Carlos Santana. Gary Moore, Larry Carlton, Lee Rittenauer, Michael Hedges, Phil Keaggy, Jimmy Page, Luther Allison, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton... and a hundred other guitar slingin' muthafukkahs.

                        Between them 2, it has to be Vie hands down

                        Vie is far more creative and expressive with the guitar I think.

                        Not to mention he is still doing insane sweeps that are amazing.

                                            Not a big fan of both of them prefer Santana , Al Dimeola and the guy from pink floyd.

                                              Actually the first real heavy distorted rock guitarist was Jeff Beck when he was in the yard birds. Jimi could sing and be upfront but the first was Jeff Beck.

                                                I took guitar & bass lessons with Joe Satriani. Personally, I think Vai and Satch rock, but they aren't the best around. Jeff Tyson and Alex Skolnik is by far the most amazing students of Satriani. While I find this type of playing impressive, it lacks profound depth and sentiment.

                                                My rock favorites would include:

                                                Peter Green, the original guitarist of Fleetwood Mack (back when they were a blues band with songs like Black Magic Woman [original version], Green Manalishi with the Two Prong Crown, The Albatross.

                                                Gary Moore, Thin Lizzy and solo career.

                                                Jimi Hendrix, the god.

                                                Michael Schenker, this guy sings. Listen to UFO's Strangers in the Night all the way through in one sitting. MSG, UFO, Scorpions.

                                                George Lynch, listen closely to his solos off the first Lynch Mob album. The River of Love guitar solo uses alot of John Coltrane sax elements.

                                                Frank Zappa. Without Zappa there would be no Steve Vai.

                                                Eddie Van Halen, party rock at its finest.

                                                Jimmy Page, awesome song writer.

                                                Eric Clapton, Cream.

                                                There are other rock players I like alot. I won't mention jazz players since it is completely different.

                                                  The first distorted (overdrive) guitar were the Kinks.

                                                  The Yardbirds were an incredible band: Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, and Eric Clapton!

                                                      Between just those two - Vai is better

                                                      I saw them both live on G3 (With Petrucci, who is my fave guitarist). And Satriani is the most boring stage performer ever...

                                                          Who's the best guitarist?
                                                          I say Neither. Satriani is fast but I don't particularly feel anything in his music; it's almost synthesized. Steve Vai rocks but he's still not my favorite.

                                                          I think Roy Buchannon is the best "emotional" guitar player, he tells a story when he plays and his guitar sounds alive. I think Hendrix owns the guitar world for ass-kicking rock and creativity. I'm not old enough to have seen Hendrix play live and I hear a lot of his experimental stuff missed the mark but the catalog of work he left behind is still awesome in my opinion.

                                                                        The post says Vai vs Satriani and all you cocks start talking about other guitarists like Tom Morello and Kurt Cobain etc. These guys are no where near the same league as Vai and Satriani.

                                                                        Steve Morse on the other hand and is way up there with Satch and Vai.
