DO YOU PLAY BRIDGE?

[list=1][*]Eric Clapton[*]Jeff Beck[*]Ry Cooder[*]Sonny Landareth[*]Jimmy Page[*]Pete Townshend[*]Kurt Cobain[*]BB King and last but not least Mr.Gilmour !! [/list=1]

well i don't know about the best but my favorite 5 are SRV - He was the first REAL music i ever listened to. My dad always wanted me to learn to play like stevie ray. Jimi Hendrix-I think that goes without saying, David Gilmour, Eric Clapton, Kirk Hammett

they called him the edge to make fun of his chin. According to Behind the Music

As much as i do love David Gilmours guitars...Brian may is the GREATEST guitarist in the world.Nobody knows it though.

This same lonely desert was the last known home of the Manson family; will he make that grim connection when my attorney starts screaming about bats and huge manta rays coming down on the car? If so, well, we'll just have to cut his head off and bury him somewhere, 'cause it goes without saying that we can't turn him loose. He'd report us at once to some kind of outback Nazi law enforcement agency and they'll run us down like dogs. Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"

I'd just like to say,although probably not in the current top 5,Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead will be in the future top five.If you saw his Jools Holland performance on Go to Sleep.The man is quick on guitar.If Radiohead go back along the guitar route,he will be the greatest.

In no particular order:

1. Pete Townshend (one of the greatest songwriters of all time)
2. David Gilmour (can play a great solo if he trys)
3. George Harrison (his playing always has a touch of emotion)
4. Jimi Hendrix (wild, crazy, and awesome!)
5. Steve Howe (can play a bunch of different styles, and has interesting solos. A classical guitarist joining a prog rock band was a great choice.)

It really annoys me when people hear a guitarist blaze out this lightning fast solo that's just a mush of notes and they think that's good. Notes don't matter if they don't fit the song and the mood.

No Particular Order

Gilmour
Hendrix
Angus Young (AC/DC)
Zappa
Albert King
Clapton

Are you kidding me goofball? (nothing personal) Santana is great. Have you ever heard Lotus (1973)? or Caravanserai (1972)? Stop juding him by the last two albums, which are a clear sell-out I agree. Check out Lotus and then tell me what do you think.
