Let us put those ridiculous urban legends to bed once and for all. Phil did NOT teach Eric Clapton how to play the guitar. Neither Eric Clapton nor Jimmy Hendrix ever said Phil was the greatest guitar player. All those urban legends derive from one source. After an Amboy Dukes show Ted Nugent came over to Phil and asked him to show him a lick he had used in the last set. Years later Ted said "I don't know what happened to that Phil Keaggy, he could have saved the world with his guitar."
Personal opinion is a wonderful thing. Its yours alone. My favorite, as opposed to who I think are the best, are 1.Jimi Hendrix,2.Jeff Beck,3.George Harrison,4.Eric Clapton,5.Frank Zappa,6.Carlos Santana,7.Stevie Ray Vaughn,8.Joe Walsh,9.Robert Fripp, 10.Pete Townshend. Before you rip me remember these are my favorites, and I`m in my 50s. A lot of younger players are very good, just don`t have the body of work that I appreciate at this time.
TOP 10 R&R GUITARISTS: 1) Duane Allman 2) Jimi Hendrix 3) Carlos Santana 4) Jimmy Page 5) Jeff Beck 6) Robin Trower 7) Eric Clapton 8) Johnny Thunders 9 Leslie West 10) Dicky Betts
why do people make these stupid videos? they all good int he own individual right, none of them do the same thing so you cant compare!
if you want technically the worlds best players then look up Allan Holdsworth, John McLaughlin, Al Di Meola...then you'll have an idea what skill is really about
does it matter the kurk is over rated im doing this on skill, if it was about rating then idk who would be on here. eric clapton is about the same spot as phil keagy,about robbie robertson i've never heard of him.Last i think hendrix isn't that good, im mean sure he can play with his teeth but that is just him being really bored,i like his music and i think he is great but id see whats makes him different and so great.
where's robbie robertson?,and sorry but eric clapton is about 50 times better than angus young, also hendrix is too far down the list and kirk hammett is way overrated
there should be a three way tie for 1st eddie van halen is amazing no doubt

Nothing else matters is played by James Hetfield, lead and rhythm.
