[Stan]

Also (don't know what your opinion is on this) I don't rate Jimmy page up there in terms of all time greatest guitarists.... He could write a catchy riff every now and then (but in my opinion it is always easier to be a pioneer of something when it is new (hard rock)) but he wasn't technically gifted and made quite a lot of shocking tunes... he always went for the odd off-beat strange time signatures!

Jimi Hendrix and EVH are the top two imo.. followed closely by Joe Satriani...what d'you reckon?

[doyleisaroyal]

I'm only 16 so I'm not in the know about these older guitarists, I haven't heard much Led Zeppelin, but Stairway To Heaven is a great solo......haven't heard Joe Satriani before, but I've heard a bit of Hendrix and he is very good...I have only heard the Van Halen song that is at number 2 and that is quite impressive - Slash kicks arse at solos as well

Oh mate.... if you like Eruption and slash's solos you've got to get your hands on Always with me Always with you by Joe Satriani... it's (as most of his stuff is) just instrumental... but the phrasing and execution are sublime....

Also, if you haven't heard Little Wing by Hendrix... that's another must have! If you want my opinion on any guitar-y stuff I'll be glad to bore you all day long...!!!

[Shippers]

only 2 pearl jam and 1 soundgarden? que? and smells like teen spirit 26? that solo is a joke!

[Mrs H]

Where's George Formby?

[Shippers]

also Ry Coder? only 1 BB King? there are some outstanding jazz guitarists who've been overlooked. it's a bit 'heavy rock' inclined.
