1 - Hendrix
2 - Page
3 - Clapton
4 - SRV
5 - Gilmour


Although Gilmour is my favorite, I actually followed the directions and put who I think are the best, not necessarily my favorites.

Re: TOP 5 Guitar players of all time!

I'd never try to pick just five. I'd constantly be changing my mind.

But Stevie Ray Vaughn and Mark Knopfler belong on the list, most def'. And I accuse anyone who disagrees with me of having earwax build-up.

Re: TOP 5 Guitar players of all time!

I watched Steve Vai's DVD "Live at the Astoria -- London"

It's not necessarily music you would want to just "listen" to -- but Gawd A'mighty, the man is at a level all his own. He must be watched while performing to get the full impact; it's more like a magic act than a music concert. I just can't think of enough superlatives to describe his mastery of the 6-string.

His cover of Jimi's "Fire" and "Little Wing" were worth the price.
