Who is the best guitarist of all time?

Answer 1

Andres Segovia

Answer 2

Would help if you divided by genre, or time period, at least. That might yield lists like:

Andres Segovia, John Williams, Christopher Parkening
Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, Django Reinhardt
Pat Metheny, Larry Carlton
Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page
Allan Holdsworth, Eddie Van Halen

Answer 3

Stevie Ray Vaungh,Jimi Hendrix,Jimmy Page,Johnny Winter

Answer 4

Jimmy Hendrix was and Jimmy Page is
and next would be Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, The members
of the Band, Keith Richards, Ron Wood, Angus and I could go
on and on because there have been and are so many talented
guitarists in the world.

Answer 5

Jeff Beck. Name another guitarist who can play 300 notes per minute or make a one note guitar solo sound good.

Hendrix may have had a sonic barrage, but technically he didn't have the variety of depth of technique that Beck is capable of.

Answer 6

Eric Clapton, after that Jeff Healey, you could probably put Stevie Ray Vaughn right up there too, but I think he is dead, now. Yeah, AND Segovia, he taught Liona Boyd to play Classical acoustic.

Answer 7

I've got it down to 3

Jimmy Page

Steve Vai

Van halen- becuase hes a genious with the right hand

Answer 8

There are so many different styles it's near impossible to pick one as "the best" But it's definitely not Hendrix or Slash

Answer 9

I agree with all other answers.What about Ritchie Blackmore(Deep Purple),Alex Liefson(Rush),Steve Howe(Yes),Tony Iommi(Black Sabbath)

Answer 10

Probably Eddie Van Halen......
