Best Guitar players

[Montecristo Jones]

Advocates site Sweet Child O' Mine most often.

Slash is an awesome guitarist. He's got it all! He's dedicated and I think he's proven that he doesn't give up. All the music he plays is great, you don't get a song to witch Slash plays the guitar that sucks, he just dose what he loves.

Slash has earned his place in the top 5 and one day may even make it to number two. Let's face it Slash is a great guitarist.

I mean you don't just wake up and are good at something you have to earn it and Slash has. For this he is one of My greatest Idols.M+433

Slash is the 2nd greatest guitarist EVER, only behind Hendrix. He is without a doubt the greatest soloist of all time. His solos aren't a couple of licks put together or not just playing a scale as fast as he can, his solo's are thought out masterpieces that are incredibly amazing technically and emotionally. Listen to all his recorded songs and you'll see what I mean.

There's so many different genre's and a lot of INSANE guitarists out there. A list of R&R guitarists as the greatest ever? That's silly. I find Tommy Emmanuel really skilled and very entertaining on top of it


I'm not saying these rock guitarists aren't great at what they do, but how many of them could go out on stage themselves with no supporting band and entertain people for 60+ minutes?

Probably very, very few. This guy used to do coffee houses as a solo act; mesmerizing.
