Re: Best Guitar Players of All Time
Well, I dunno about the criteria. If you're going for the more technical, Joe Satriani definitely deserves to be up there, he's amazing. Or if purely technical, there's none better than Michael Angelo Batio. But, I assume you're not. So I'll toss in my vote for Keith Richards. Amazing guitar player. Some of the greatest riffs of all time. Incredibly entertaining and innovative rhythm playing. And he just has this great blues sound.
Oh, and Jimmy Page's solo on Stairway to Heaven might be the one of the best musical moments ever, so beautiful. I don't know if overall he deserves to be top 5 though.
Clapton definitely. Genius.
Hendrix. Knopfler if you factor in songwriting and he's a bit of a personal favourite of mine. Something along those lines.
