Re: Best Guitarist(s) Ever (in your opinions)
i found it kind of impossible to pick one. because everyone and their mother plays guitar, so pick the best one is damn near impossible. but ill say robert johnson. the original blues man. he started the whole family tree of music.

It's not really fair to have a poll at all in these kinda threads as there's no way you can include everyones personal faves...
As for the best -> IMO there is no overall best; thats completely subjective to style and personal taste.

Gary Moore's pretty damn cool. I just discovered a CD of his somewhere and I'm listening to it now - blown away.
But really the best guitarist is Dave Murray! If the elements, earth - wind - fire and air were represented by guitarists, Dave would be water!

I don't think it's possible to pick a best guitarist, I honestly like everyone you listed. However, I put Les Paul because if it weren't for him, we might not have solid-bodies and of course there might not be right hand tapping, believe it or not.

I hate these types of threads. This is why I left musicianforums.net . Sometimes you could see three threads with this same exact title on the front page in the guitar forum. They're all the "best' in different situations. B.B. King is one of the best blues guitarists, Angus is one of the best blues/rock guitarists. But I'd say the most influencial was probably Hendrix, he just revolutionized guitar into what it is today.

Dave gilmour on electric, Francisco Tarrega or Andres Segovia on acoustic. Those dudes really changed spanish acoustic guitar, and IMO, were the real guitar geniuses.

Re: Best Guitarist(s) Ever (in your opinions)
I didn't see what all the hooplah was about Hendrix until a bit ago and now I finally see what others see, a musical visionary. One of the few people in the history of blues and rock and roll that played with so much emotion that it could move you. He took the instrument to a whole 'nuther level and while he wasn't the fastest player around, it was his note choices and the execution that makes him stand on the highest pedestal of guitar Gods.
