Top 10 best Guitarists Ever!

[bigmoney749]

Gary Rossington didn't do free bird. It was Allen Collins.

[oddlyreasonable]

Hendrix, Page, Gilmour, Randy Rhodes, and my fave Buckethead.

[TeamTwinsanity]

Where Is Jan Akkerman who invented sweep???

[ijemekkos4life]

TONY IOMMI!!!!! = GODFATHER OF HEAVY METAL!!!!!

[bud19601978]

NUGENT--PAGE--BLACKMORE--VAN HALEN--HENDRIX--RHODES--SATRIA­NI--MICHAEL SCHENKER--DAVID GILMORE--ZAKK WYLDE

[Cliffsofburton]

Billy Gibbons?!?!? Tommy Bolin?!?!? Ritchie Blackmore?!!?!? Alex Lifeson?!?! Joe Perry!?!?!? Where did they go?!?! They were here a second ago!! Your list was decent, at best. There are much more influential if not better guitarists out there than the ones you listed. Slash at number one? Come on dude.. You really think he's better than EVH and Randy Rhoads?

[picklevai16]

WHY THE FUCK IS ANGUS BEEF ON NUMBER 2?! he's a good performer. THATS IT!!!

[iFedary]

@picklevai16 a guitarist is not only the play, also performing, he sticks out far on that point, that's why he should be in a top 10

[deathmetalguitaristx]

fuck GnR im sorry but axl sucks and slash really isnt the best if i wanted i could say jon petrucci is the best but i dont think so

I have to pust Slash 2nd and Hendrix 1st, sorry. With that said, he is my favourite guitarist and he is possibly the most UNDERrated in the world. I fucking hate it when he gets criticised.

[DragonForce191]

@KieranSM10 hendrix is awesome but only because he was a revolutionary in the world of guitar other than that i dont see how he can possibly be the best although i understand he is your personal favorite

[Slimegreen]

Wow, you really dont have a clue .... Angus Young ahead of Hendrix and Page ? your an idiot.

Hendrix #5 ? Hendrix is in his own league and shouldn't even compare him to these others . The only one thats even close would be SRV and he's not on your list .. Your list sucks .

[xNewYorker1997x]

Slash and Jimmy Page are tied for first

angus young sucks

[ipod2341]

[Ritchie09100]

mark tremonti!

[willyschoonover]

Its pretty obvious that jimi hendrix should be number one.

and where are jeff beck, paul gilbert, john petrucci, gary moore, stevie ray vaugan, joe satriani, davud gilmour, eric clapton, mark knopfler, ritchie blackmore etc.

[waddoz1]

hendrix isnt the best guitarists so many are ten times better than him

[willyschoonover]

hendrix's use of feedback, wah wah and bending was truly groundbreaking. he played with more soul than anyone and mixed rock, blues and psychedelic together to create something truly great.

[waddoz1]

true but he isnt the most soulful gilmour beats him at that and gilmour didnt need LSD to make up random solos

[willyschoonover]

jimi's solos weren't random at all-listen to songs like voodo child or all along the watchtower.

[Magnedudewon2]

this whole list is phucked up.

jimi hendrix #1

[ironmaiden241000]

RANDY RHOADS # 1

[gonxulo]

[fiercebeast69]

[McBAWLN]

6.Zak Wylde (custom Gibson Xplore)

5.Richie Sambora (Fender)

4.Randy Rhoads (Gibson Les Paul)

3.Joe Satriani (Ibanez Js)

2.Eddie Van Halen (Ibenez?)

1. Jimi Hendrix (Fender)

Ozzy really has a nac for picking some of the best guitarist out there but there is som1 else ide like to add to that list in between Randy and Joe, The lead guitarist for DragonForce Herman Li

[MrPenguintamer]

[purplebeer22]

[dominike100]

Slash ca´nt be better than Angus :D you sucks :D

[SmlSirius]

Jesus... Slash at first place? Im so freaking tired of Slash. He's overrated imo..

[crispy899]

you think agus young and slash are better than jimmy no fucking way

[Pelohl]

slash first place? lol? and randy should be in top 3 imo.

[WoWfan2345]

Van Halen should not be first. He did tapping, something very easy. It was one of the first things I learned on guitar. He good and I love Eddie but Randy is first.

[TheThomasKlein]

where is phil x (many don't know him go check hem out) he rocks so hard

[Aljax21]

Where on earth is Gary Moore and dave or adrian from iron maiden or richie blackmore

[mrmadmike427]

eric clapton ,bb king, bo didley, mark knofler, george lynch, ingveh malmstn[spelled wrong}].steve vai.george thourghgood,and as for your def leppard selection that would be steve clark......phil collins took over when steve died from alcohol poisoning thats not the phil from genesis!!

[anxofarmesto]

Where is Keith Richards??

And specially where's Chuck Berry????

It could be said that he invented Rock & Roll...and you should have a look to what he could do with a guitar in the 1950's.

Nobody would've heard about some Elvis Presley if Chuck Berry,Little Richard or Jerry Lee Lewis hadn't invented Rock music in the beginning of the 50's.

And without Elvis there would be no Rock & Roll.

RESPECT FOR THE PIONEERS OF ROCK!!!.

[LilJakob2]

Randy  1!!!

[ironmaidenrules11]

i agree

[oilkills]

You've prolly never heard the name before...

but that doesn't change a thing.

Shawn Lane is god of guitar!

[MegadethRocks1000]

C.C. DEVILLE

[tataratataratata]

se è soggettiva non c'è niente da contestare se no ci sarebbe molto!!!!

[Patton122145]

u are a complete dumb ass!! Phil Collins plays the drums first off and gary rossington doesn't even play lead, he doesn't even play any part in the solo in freebird.

!. Eric Clapton

2. Jeff Beck

3. Jimmy page

[xXGuitarLegandXx]

Randy Rhoads should be Number 1!!!

He's the greatest ever

[JammerZice]

[dplblue24]

steve vai joe satriani???

[Tehdudemonster]

hahahahaha slash is number 1? bulllshhiiit. hendrix makes slash look like a child

[classicrockrockz]

[DSFLKJ91234]

Yo, I play guitar and thats the music I like, its a matter of opinion, and listen to jason becker, hes done some of the most melodic stuff ever!

[Haseo190]

The only person worthy of one of those spots is Joe Satriani, seriously there's way better guitarists than many of those people up there.

[jaydenbray12]

alexi liaho

[TheHutchieBros]

You had to know that a video by someone called 'gunsandroses899' would be biased. Slash is great, but I don't think he should get 1. Look at all the other guitarists out there.

[rjackson1371]

@BrotherTin I think you are right but here's my list 1 Jimi 2 Eddie 3 Slash 4 Jimmy 5 SRV 6 Kirk 7 Angus 8 Randy 9 Tony 10 Carlos now take notes. Satraini got his ass kicked by Kirk in duel comparision so no. I know he was Kirk's teacher at one time but student can become better than master. Vai is sloppy so no his voodoo chile cover was worst I've seen. Perry is a B+ guitarists at best so no. Slash did the best voodoo chile cover I've seen to date so that's why he's #3. I just love is style.

[Niksayshi]

[AnimeXGirlsX]

You stupit or sometin, eddie van halen and Slash have to be in the top ten

[R0uxp0wer]

Van Halen maybe but not slash...

[Ironman374]

Phil Collins is a drummer, dude. And you have him as one of the ten greatest guitarists of all time?

[ACDCrocks842]

i agree does one of the ten greatest guitar players maybe the trillionth greatest guitar player but come on tenth thats an insult 2 every other great guitar player who didn't make it

[MegadethRocks1000]

Here's my list of top 10 guitarists: 1.) C.C. Deville (Poison)- He shouldnt be so underrated. He's Definitely #1. 2.) Eddie Van Halen (Van Halen) 3.) Slash (Guns N Roses) 4.) Kirk Hammet (Metallica) 5.) Dave Mustaine (Megadeth) 6.) Sam Totman (Dragonforce) 7.) Joe Perry (Aerosmith) 8.) Phil Collen (Def Leppard) 9.) John Petrucci (Dream Theater) 10.) Tommy Thayer (Kiss)

[mUsICmAnINYoMouF]

My personal list:

1. Jason Becker(take into account age and skill)

2. John Petrucci (unmatched speed)

3. Joe Satriani (great teacher-taught the best/ amazing personal music

4. Steve Vai (ridiculous skill as well as developing a very unique style of music)

5. Marty Friedman (very passionate and skillful artist(worked with Jason)

6. Yngwie Malmsteen(despite little emotion he is undeniably one of the best)

7. Van Halen (could be higher on the list)

8. Slash (running out of characters)

9 clapton..

[DSFLKJ91234]

No, actually this list should look like this... 1.Jason Becker 2.Tommy Emmanuel 3.Jimi Hendrix 4.Andy McKee 5.Eddie Van Halen 6.Michael Angelo Batio 7.Yngwie Malmsteen 8.Rusty Cooley 9.Santana 10.Steve Vai Honorable Mention: Dimebag Darrell, Zakk Wylde, Joe Satriani, Me, Buckethead, Randy Rhoads, and Chuck Schuldiner.

[Xmalibur]

Naw alot of these fools would not appreciate it

[langostino1234]

o my god bro first of all you probably dont listen to any other type type of music besides hard rock, and this is like the simplest type of music all the solos never leave the blues scale bruh. the best guitarist on this list is jimi, because hes raw as fuck, and creative and versitile, but of course youve only heard purple haze, voodoo chile, and all along he watchtower, listen to red house and cherokee mist and maybe youre mind will be changed. take into account others types of music too bro

[Seattle4444]

Slash is not the best guitarist ever.

[BunniesXNinja]

so fucking long

[australianrocknroll]

1: ANGUS YOUNG!!!!

[JAMBRONIsucka]

ur #1 was so predictable...lol...look at ur friggen name dude.

[mikiimike45]

#1 is obviously Randy Rhoads!

What is would take another guitarist 5 fingers 2 do, randy rhoads could do w/2 fingers!

With his other 2 fingers he would shadow it, so it would be like he's playing 2 leads at the same time...

Even Eddy Van Halan admitted he couldn't do some of the shit that randy rhoads could!

[larycl]

1. HERMAN LI

2. Slash

3. Rhandy Rhoads
