There is no “top guitarists”.

There is no “top guitarists”.

I agree, there are different styles

there is no “Top” or “Best” as far as anything. It’s all based on preference. this is just like the best bands, best song, and best genre thread. just post your favorites.

Oh ok, so here my favorites:

1- Roger Hodgson.

2- Brian may.

3- Angus Young.

4- George Harrison.

5- Eric clapton.

6-Jimmy Page.

7- Santana.

8- Slash.

9- Django Reinhart.

10-Jimi Hendrix.

you seem to have totally forgotten about recent guitarists, which as hard to believe as it may seem, are sometimes just as good…
jack white?
john frusciante?

lightsun im not trying to start an argument or anything but what makes you think angus young deserves to be on that list?

It’s my opinion, I don’t like nowday guitarists, and please read:

I can see that you don’t like Angus Young, but I think that he was one of the best guitarrists ever, and yes, my favorite is Roger Hodgson, and as you might see it’s very old. I just posted the guitarists that in my own opinion are the best.

1. John Petrucci
2. Alex Lifeson
3. SRV
4. Steve Howe
5. Steve Hackett
6. Tom Scholtz
7. Davey Johnstone
8. Todd Rundgren
9. David Gilmour
10. Richie Sambora

Chomp on that.

i know lightsun i was just asking for your reasoning and connor… im not gonna comment on your list lolz

Ok, I misunderstood your previous post and I’m sorry. I think that Angus Young deserves because the most great rock solos were of him, for me there’s no much to discuss haha. I like his style and way of playing, very singular I must add.

how about the guys from dragon force….come on…amazing

TBH, the guys from Dragonforce aren’t at all as good as you think they are. Any live performance of theirs can verify that. I liked them a little, but Guitar Hero kinda ruined them for me.

Jeez, hendrix66 what’s next? Best drummers and singer? lol

1: Michael Amott,
2: MIchael Åkerfeldt

JASON BECKER

Doesn’t anyone give any love to B.B. King he plays with good tunes and sound. I also like all the ones Hendrix listed. But no one i see had B.B. King in their list.

yeah, BB king is good. I just don’t ever listen to him.
