John Petrucci is my favorite guitar player:

He's just the ideal type of guitarist for me. He's got great tones, can play such a broad array of genres, plays melodies and he just honours his craft like no other guitarist I've seen. :D

The lick he plays before the solo starts *.*

Kristian Dunn from El Ten Eleven; He plays a Fretless Bass what more can i say.
Well he also Has a million effect pedals too so that's cool.

I might catch some flack for this... but Reverend Peyton, imo, is the best guitar player on the planet at this moment. He's not rock so most people probably won't like it, but I think he rivals Jimi Hendrix and the other greats (surpassing most- if not all- of them).

Just skip to 1:40 if you get bored... it's pretty amazing. At the end he plays two songs at once.



And something more interesting.



and



aaaaand



He doesn't really do solos... but that's fine because most of his basic riffs are complicated enough to be solos.

Stevie Ray Vaughn's rendition of Little Wing is the best guitar solo ever done, hands down. Even though Jimmy Page is kinda sloppy, I still like his style quite a bit.

Also it really irritates me when people say Steve Vai. That guy is so overrated.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Shawn Lane, especially you buckhethead fans seeing as one of Bucketheads main influences are Shawn lane.:D But yeah this guy has it all imo, such an amazing feel, never heard phrasing like this in any other player. It's quite unique really, and you can't really complain on his technique either, he was faster than most people out there right now. There's an interesting video where paul gilbert talks about shawn lane and demonstrates some of his stuff with tapping but in reality shawn lane does it with one hand.:D


Shawn Lane is my favourite guitarist of all time! I could listen to powers of ten for the rest of time. Such a crying shame he died as young as he did. He had a lot offer musically.



Ps. if you just like pure shredding, watch the last 3 minutes -_-; but this guy played beautiful music

This is true, but it always cracks me up that on "While My Guitar Gently Sleeps" it was Eric Clapton playing the solo, the only Beatles song with guitar accompaniment.

THANK YOU! Seriously, went through this whole thread and you are the only one who mentioned Michael Hedges.

I remember the first time I heard this, I was in the other room when my dad put it on, I swore two people were playing



And here are some more:

He's alright. I think BoO was very stupid to have kicked him out though, and I'm not all that into that chelsea something anyhow.

Best guitarists are Shawn Lane and Allan Holdsworth. Close third may be Pat Metheny. Then there are a whole bunch of people at the top but all very comparable in skill and talent. I would put people like Petrucci, Vai, Gambale and many jazz players in that group. Just mentioning a few famous ones. It's hard to put one over the other but surely these people are top tier.
Then there is another huge group of skilled ones that are kinda so-so like Yngwie Malmsteen and Zakk Wylde.

Then everyone else is just inferior in technique and musicality and in that group come most players most people know. This group includes both good players like Jimi Hendrix and bad ones like Kirk Hammett. Still, there's 2 tiers above them and then the elite 3.

My favorite guitarist who got me into playing is definitely Dallas Green (aka City and Color). I think he is better known for his singing though.
