[edit] [cabbage], forgot about Dimebag. Had him in my mind when I wrote, but then forgot to add him...

// Azvi.

Hmmmmm, this is difficult, not sure i can put them in order so here's a general top 5

Jerry Cantrell (Alice In Chains

Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society, Ozzy Osbourne)

Dimebag (Pantera, Damageplan)

Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave)

Mark Morton/Willie Adler (Lamb Of God) i'm not sure who plays which parts but they're both insane guitarists.

I'm pretty sure that list would change if you asked me again tomorrow, but sod it.

In no particular order:

Dave Gilmour

Eric Clapton

Brian May

Jimmy Page

Joe Satriani

Tony Iommi

"He who plays guitar for Metallica", whose name I don't know.

"He who plays for Thin Lizzy", I know Garry Moore did, but so did Brian Robertson; I'm not sure which I'm talking about.

I'm not really an expert, but:

David Gilmoure

Joe Satriani

Blackmore

Eric Clapton

Frank Zappa

Jimmy Page

Jimi Hendrix

That dude from Iron Maiden. Hmpf, Azvy just informed that Iron Maiden has got three guitar dudes, so let me rephrase: Those three dudes from Iron Maiden.

That dude from Guns 'n Roses

That dude from Metallica

That Japanese dude from Dragonforce

and some more that I can't think of at the moment. :wink:

Edit:

Robert Cray, he's some blues dude. He doesn't plays pretty good I think, nothing really awesome or spectacular as those named above, but I though I'd metion him, since most probably won't know him, and I want to promote him. :)

Metallica = Kirk Hammett

Guns 'n' Roses = Slash

As for Thin Lizzy, they had alot of guitarists. But in my mind Gary Moore was easily the best of them. His blues work is so awesome.

Metallica = Kirk Hammett

 

 

 

Guns 'n' Roses = Slash

Anyways, Don Ross is the best :P he's been rated #1 at finger picking twice in the last little bit... thing is nobody knows about him because he writes folk music :)

I've redone this list and its never the same, but these guys have consistently been in my top 8, so I'm going with them.

Chris Broderick- Jag Panzer

"Dimebag" Darrel Abbot- Pantera / Damageplan

Dave Murray- Iron Maiden

Eddie Van Halen- Van Halen

Bobby Gustafson- Overkill

All Metal... I know. :P

There are plenty of other guitarists that I'd name under jazz, blues, and

rock... but this was just a top five list and my favorite genre is heavy metal.
