[Mattk]

i once saw fleetwood mac live on tv and lindsey buckingham played this absolutely amazing solo the hand work involved has to be seen to be believed

[andy hughes]

It's the old 'fave is best' scenario again. For me, Jimmy Page and Lindsey Buckingham are right up there, along with Jan Akkerman and John Williams.

One of the  originals that many copied is Scotty Moore - and still going strong!

[Slainte]

John Squire & Bernard Butler

[lstdef476]

The best guatarist is defiantley Slash from Guns n' Roses

[ermintrude35]

..gonna stick my neck on the line and be different and say Johnny Marr...

[nicola_red]

For technical ability, Joe Satriani. For personality, Slash.

[Scarlets]

Johhny Greenwood, Johhny Marr, Graham Coxon, Shannon Ferguson for sounds and ideas, Hendrix and John Squire for sheer speed / fret walking / technique etc

[stoo_pid]

Joe Satriani, no question

[lookslikemik]

Johnny Marr, and Vini Reilly.

[DannyB]

Hendrix

[foxydutchess]
