PHIL KEAGGY
Rumors have followed Keaggy for years that Jimi Hendrix had supposedly named him as his answer to the question Johnny Carson asked him, "who is the best guitarist in the world?" while making an appearance on The Tonight Show. Another version of the story goes something like, "Jimi, how does it feel to be the world's greatest guitar player?" To which supposedly Jimi replied, "I don't know, you'll have to ask Phil Keaggy!" which according to some was from an interview in Rolling Stone or Guitar Player Magazine. Sometimes, the rumor is that it was Eric Clapton, or that it was on the Dick Cavett show. A recent variant has it that it was Eddie Van Halen on Letterman who was asked the question.

It use to irritate me when magazines would have these questions and he would never be on the list. If you really know the Isley Brothers music in the 70's One of the top guitarist was Ernie Isley. Some if the licks he does are "off da hook". Check out the track "Climbing Up The Ladder" and "Ballad Of A Fallen Solider" are just a sample. And his protege` in the 60's was Jimi Hendrix.

Jimi Hendrix is in his own class, and it's real hard to pick any one person to be the best because there are so many different styles. Randy Rhoads and Joe Satriani are two of the all time greats.
