Did you know Zappa owned one of Jimi's guitars he burned live on stage?
Zappa fixed it and played on it for many years.. His son Dweezil is looking to sell it now.. i think he is asking like 600k for it.. :-)

Jimi once said that Zappa was a better guitar player than him ;-)
But who carez.. Jimi was awesome.. i have all his albums..

No one likes Mark Knopfler, from the former Dire Straits?
He is my favorit for sure

I like the underplayed but still masive guitar

Geezer Butler and Tony Iommi were an awesome combo with Black Sabbath - almost scary at times

of course Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Van Halen, Stevie Ray, Frampton

The Edge:thumbsup

adrian belew

My favorite is Eric Clapton hands down

oops that was me :error

He's underrated. If he focused on strictly guitar oriented music rather than pop-rock he'd probably have gotten more recognition.

I have 3 all time favorites depending on the mood.

Eric Clapton
Jimi Hendrix
BB King

Slash!

Fuck Yeah!

Andrés Segovia

Yes, Joe Pass was awesome. He could make a guitar sound like a piano. I have a few DVD's of him. He learned a lot while he was in prison for 10 years for cocaine. My father met him.

Anyone mention Wes?

Can't forget Wes Broland

don t know the best, but the fastet guitarist was from 10 years after

clapton eric, and some guy in second decade of 20 century, don't remember his name. were was a movie with sean penn about him anybody remember?

What sort of piece of shit list is that crap?..Chuck Berry has no place there, legand of course but no legendary guitar player much like Cobain, he is a god for me...but he aint no guitaring genius..Im mean Frusciante at 17 and Zappa at 45 lol...I dont remember the Frusc ever redinfining the instrument, setting new boundaries/benchmarks...50 years from now people will still talk about Zappa and be all like Frusciwhattie??...

Now thats a list of talent
