Answer 2

The all-time best is Jimi Hendrix. Some other notable one's are Eddie Van Halen, Slash, Tom Morello, Zakk Wylde, Kirk Hammett, Brian Haner Jr., & James Hetfeild.

I disagree the best Guitarists go like this 1.shared by Joe Perry & Slash 2.Keith Richards 3. Eric Clapton 4. B.B. King 5. Jimmy Page 6. Jimi Hendrix

Also some other good guitarists are Kurt Cobain, Joe Walsh, Pete Townsend, Bob Seger, and John Lennon.

Those are all great guitarists but in my opinion Randy Rhoads is the best. The reason why is because he plays with so much emotion.

Answer 3

In my opinion it is Brian may,he is the king of tone and sustain and has more memorable and anthem style solos than any other guitarist,he also has his own unique sound which is unmatched.He is also capable of playing as fast as some of the fastest guitarists out there.there is no definite best its just peoples own preference.

there is a tie in the rock n roll hall of fame between jimmy henrix and Stevie ray vaughan. jimmy Hendrix is known for his melodic solos and Stevie ray vaughan is known for his technicality in my opinion Hendrix is better but nobody is exact on who is better
