Who's the best lead guitarist?

[morgenthaler]

Great musicians....+Stochelo, Garsed and Hoekstra...and loads more

[kevinusjang]

I'd say Guthrie hands down.. out of this list.

[theSartaajHussain]

I'm a Guthrie guy. ;)

[dpapaioannow]

the most amazing part about this video is the retarded comments ;)

[summitthescale]

5:36 - Guthrie Govan wins.

[harry123guitar]

@summitthescale absolutely man!

[thebluestartattoos]

Guthrie Govan

[j0n5150]

try none featured in this video :P nah they are all amazing but vai or satriani for *best* lead player.

[IJW85]

maybe there cant be a true "best" guitarist in the world, but no one is better than guthrie govan. i really cant imagine what a better guitarist would even sound like. haha

[strengthendurance]

*with face paint* GUTHRIE FTW!!! GOVAN!!! WOO WOO WOO WOO WOO WOO!!!



[boudioulechat]

Kurt Rosenwinkel !!!!!!! Gilad Hekselman ? Jonathan Kreisberg ? John Scofield ? Lage Lund ? Julian Lage ? Mike Moreno ?

[seth3556r]

The best lead would have to be a jazz guitarist.

[GabrielDhalaman]

search ALESSANDRO PENNEZZI,RAPHAEL RABELLO,YAMANDU COSTA

or the great master BADEN POWELL

[Hardysamnin]

guthrie is the most versatile, therefor the best. Then again, that's just my opinion.

[Newzchspy]

@Hardysamnin +1, couldnt agree more!!! He does it all so well!!

[asioguna]

@Hardysamnin Agreed!!!

[francisco444]

Guthrie imo just because he play any style of music with excellence

[guitarboymichael]

brent mason is the best :)

[swingingfred]

Bireli Lagrene is the best guitar player in the world for the last 20 years.... And even more, he is maybe the best musician of our era. Also, Adrien Moignard (un autre maudit Français!!!) is a beast!!!

[IchMagGitarren]

Kurt Cobain

[MonsieurSteven]

guthrie govan

[Bi0sbr]

i think edu ardanuy should be in the list ;D

[foreverhoads]

Guthrie Govan!!

actually,is the best!

Rock,funky,jazz,fusion...all sound in the hands

[sgtcaco]

lol frank gamble doing dajango stlyle

[71GA]

Eric johnson or Kiko Loureiro.

[tromblay99backup]

I'd have to say Slash from Guns' N Roses

[str4to]

Sylvain luc is missing ;) glad Kurt Rosenwinkel is in it tho, a true rising jazz star!

[axialchris45]

quite impressive. the list could really just keep going into other genres to include paul gilbert, marty friedman, jason becker, randy rhoads, and way too many more to write. someone should just post the top 10,000 greatest guitar players so nobody feels left out haha

[denissymbolic]

Allan pwnes every one of them !!!

[oscarsstuff]

Govan knows a lot and he keeps learning and exploring, I know players who sound just as great but don't have his vocabulary and knowledge

[pobinr]

Swings much better than Metheny

[evander5150]

you forgot different gods...Scott Henderson... Edward Van Halen ...

[Kalestilez]

where's Stochelo Rosenberg?

[deanmadonia]

Try Jonathan Kreisberg

[ipodminisilver]

Glad Allan Holdsworth is in there; great guitarist and often over looked.

[Aurelius27x]

Shawn Lane > GG  PERIOD.

[oilkills]

@Aurelius27x Nice!

Shawn Lane > everyone!!!

[henryshomebrew]

there is no one better than GG

[legatoman]

I know there is no best. All are great in different ways.

The video is only done for fun purposes.

[Yoganao]

Some real JAZZ greats.

[widepass]

No one is better "music is not a sport" but the fact is that Allan is the greatest EVER!

[bitterbetterbatter]

im pretty sure one of them notes hes playing is a "C" or somthin close to it.,,, oh check out Frank Gambale, i think hes 10 times better than any of these guys by far

[MrGuitarrica]

GG

-''Enough said''

[papaphilo]

benson...

[6stringsofgrace]

I can't believe that Steve Morse hasn't been mentioned. I've always considered Holdsworth as the best, truly innovative and original.

[poepneukerobotjes]

john stowell

[joesatriani1200rulez]

youve missed out so many other greats! mclaughlin , carlton , ritenour , lane , rosenberg , satch , sfogli , johnson ! but if i were to pick from this vid it would defo be.......govan , oberg , mason and benson !! theres no comparison their FUCKING INSANEE !!!

[FreedomZealot]

I have no idea who is "best" among these titans, but I sure enjoyed listening to all of them.

[kamaboko1]

has to be jack black b/c he wrote 'the greatest song in the world'.

[27adry]

PACO DE LUCIA,JIMY HENDRIX,SHAWN LANE ,EN MI OPINION

[ecgedsel]

My favorite is Guthrie Govan

[2patero]

Rosenberg, Tommy Emmanual, SRV Blues Power, Gary Moore, Shawn Lane, Brett Garsed, Satch n Vai, Malmsteen (I know wank wank) heavy Jazz Flavour here but in saying that, Benson shits on everyone! I know there is no competition in music but Benson is da shiznit!!!!

[18neurodoc]

All are great. Who could decide among such a group?

[VaiRendy]

"people can play guitar in so many different ways,, so there is No best" -steve vai-

[Timmonsec]

I dont know if we agree on the term om lead guitar player of a band or actual instrumental solo player... the best lead player for me? that i have seen? Andy timmons on danger danger, and the best instrumental player is Shawn Lane for sure...

[simakindinou]

vai



[squashedmike]

There is no "best" there are a lot of amazing players, and thank God they're arn't all the same!!

[royderijke]

where's Stochelo Rosenberg?

[MagnX]

Benson!

/Magnus

[legatoman]

Jag trodde du skulle säga Allan! ;)

[Kilgore2100]

@MagnX Benson is pimpin' on this! No disrespect to all the other players, they are all great in their own way- especially Rosenwinkle, Benson just seems to be the most soulful.

[jabf123]

gambale is such a boring player...

[sheriffii]

where are scott henderson and pat martino?

[legatoman]

@sheriffii There weren't place for more players

[MrGuimbard]

brent mason ,george benson, bireli! all the best!

[Kingding6]

Bireli,Guthrie, Allan, George and Shawn Lane
