I know there is a lot of musicians and people who love music here on BadWeb. Would love to read what everyone thinks is the best guitarist in each category below. I have listed my fav’s in each category. Blues Gary Moore Country Chet Atkins Jazz Frank Gambale Rock Eric Clapton Progressive Rock Alex Lifeson Heavy Metal Yngwie Malmsteen | ||
| Steveford  |
That's a tough one as there's just so many good ones. Blues - Albert King Rock - Jeff Beck Progressive Rock - Frank Zappa Is Les Paul considered Jazz? Heard a little Gary Moore the other day on the radio - he's great! | ||

Let's see who's able to guess. One of my favorite rock guitarists. I'll never claim someone to be the best, but he's good very though. Hint: along with a few other band members he died in a plane crash in 1977.  Another one is Tuck Andress (From Tuck and Patty). This guy is simply amazing. If you like good guitar play and haven't heard of him, pick up their album "Tears of Joy". | ||

There are only two god's of the Ax Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimmi Hendrix | ||
| Gschuette  |
Zakk Wylde is a pretty good and I always thought Dimebag kicked •••. | ||

Stevie Ray Vaughan Joe Satriani And for country my vote would have to go to Vince Gill. The guy may be more well known for his slower ballad type music, but he can play guitar with the best of em. | ||

Rory Gallager? Cool! | ||
| Stealthxb  |
Johnny Ramone  R.I.P. | ||

Mr Satriani ROCKS! | ||
| BadS1  |
Steve Via,ROCK'S!!!! | ||
| Buells Rule! (Dyna in disguise) |
Mr Satriani ROCKS! Sure does, I think if you could put him & Stevie competing against each other, Joe would win. It would be close tho. | ||

I seen Joe Satriani back during his Surfing With Aliens tour. Erik Johnson opened the show for him, talk about a rockin night! | ||

Another guy I think kicks @ss is George Thorgood. Saw him at the Chicago House of Blues a couple years ago. Non stop jamming for almost 3 straight hours, was a hell of a night. | ||

Looks like we all have our favorites and all of them are great!  | ||
| Lpowel02  |
Mark Knopfler would be high on the list... | ||
| Djkaplan  |
Lot's of good players out there. No way I could say just one was the "best". I'd never box myself into a corner. | ||

In no particular order or genre: SRV Hendrix Santana Clapton David Gilmour Dime | ||

Allan Holdsworth "Metal Fatigue" what an awesome recording! Steve Howe and Steve Hacket with GTR, brilliant guitar work. | ||
| Pdxs3t |
Another phenomenal guitar player is Steve Morse | ||
| Tombo |
This list is a good reminder of some of the guitar players I had forgotten about. Perhaps not the best, but some personal favorites; Alvin Lee SRV Pat Travers Robin Trower Hendrix Jeff Beck Richie Blackmore | ||
| Cyclonemick |
I Can't Believe Only One Person Has Said Jimmy Page for Rock Guitarist??? Robert Johnson Blues! | ||
| Brucelee |
"Mark Knopfler would be high on the list..." Yes, saw him live, he is a magician, as is Clapton live. L. Buckingham, Joe Walsh and Don Felder. Randy Bachman is still rocking! |
