[dathen22]

WHERE THE HELL IS RANDY.....WTF.....ARE U DEAF?

[Corleone2239]

Where the fuck is Billy Squire.

[ozzyrrv420]

study RANDY RHAODS people you might learn something about playing guitar like slash and especially who ever plays for U2 wow being there and not him is rediculos you got toni iommi on your list and hes not even close to the best guitarist that played with ozzy do yourselfs a favor and listen to me on this one hes truly a under appreciated guitar player and him not being on this list proves that and U2 come on they belong no where near any guitar list

[TheBasskidd]

A**HOLE!!! RANDY RHOADS WASN'T IN THERE

[jdmaniac820]

stevie ray vaughan should have been higher! but this is still a good list :P

[mjaquez323]

it is all about Led Zepplin and U2

[mjaquez323]

it is all about Led Zepplin and U2.

[bon193jovi]

yeah sambora rocks...BON JOVI FOREVER>>>

[GoodCheeba]

Good list, though it doesn't look like you strayed off the beaten path much......

[farrex0]

wow best guitar player list in youtube thanks to ur good taste in music the world needs more ppl like u

[mjaquez323]

@farrex0 you got that right my this guy has good tatse of music

[nneevveerrmmoorree]

lol what a boring list...''top guitarists eh?...jimi would pee his pants if he ever heard jeff loomis''miles of machines''....poster you fail

[ickythumper99]

Oh please. Kirk Hammett is terrible! there's no way in hell he's better than SRV, or Jack White, or ROBERT JOHNSON!!!

[Malyorus]

Dude, robert johnson gave the blues its modern shape, plus he was an amazingly skilled player. Without Johnson, no Hammet

[quigglesquaggs]

It's me, I'm the greatest guitar palyer of all time.

I've never released any of my songs so nobody else knows about me.

Fame, no I'm not interested in fame, I play for myself, that's is what music is for, not money or fame, it's for music sake.

And I'm the best.

[tjma900]

Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton Tocando Starway To Heaven .

watch?v=s_agLVduxTw

[iholowxzx]

where is Paul Gilbert and jason Becker ????

[DethklokNirvana]

HENDRIX #1 SRV #2 in my book.

[GoodGuitarSolos]

Nice to see Richie there :)

[PinknessOfFloyd]

GOD DAMNIT.

Every video I find for the best guitarists ever does NOT have David Gilmour on it or high at all. You people have no idea how amazing he was. His solo's may not be the fastest but they sure are damn hard to play. Screw all of you little Shawn Lane fanboys. Gimour, Page, Hendrix FTW.

[BryJovi17]

read my video description. as i have emphasised before the order of the vid is NOT the RANK of the guitarists. in my opinion they are all EQUALLY in my top 20 because they are all impeccable guitarists in their own right!

[PinknessOfFloyd]

@BryJovi17 Sorry. I didn't read that two years ago. XD

[Easleytee]

@PinknessOfFloyd

Personal preference aside...opining that David Gilmour is somehow a superior instrumentalist and listen to the late Shawn Lane is an indelible confirmation of your musical illiteracy.

Some people should just be quarantined from interacting with the general public.

[PinknessOfFloyd]

@Easleytee

Wow. Way to comment on something I said two years ago. Moron...

[oilkills]

I thought by now, people would become familiar with Shawn Lane!!!

[skafskaf]

yet another music video without sound, thanks greedtube

[BryJovi17]

lol. i've only used 30 second clips of songs too. maybe they'll put the sound back when the people of today realise what good music is; its right in this video, unlike the highly commercialised extremely short term crap that is pumped out nowadays.

[hogwarts09]

what fuck gilmour should be put on top

[devilcj666]

Kirk Hammett?! are you serious?

I don't think he deserves to be put in here amongst these greats, He's INCREDIBLY overrated.

[henson360]

i second that

[racinghero3500]

ya slash does suck.

[kawah88]

Where the fuck is Mark Knopfler? He's way better than a bunch of those metal guitarists. Slash sucks by the way.

[jalfredl]

SRV should have been higher

[jalfredl]

either way, its a great list

[dedalus99]

Hey dude, great compilation but put the names! I can`t spot 3-5 and it is driving me mad!! (missing some iron maiden player)

[Back2TFuture]

david gilmour should be higher

[PKTN88]

slash and yngwie are my favs

[HITTHESKINS]

he started a guitar epidemic back in the 50s-60s. suddenly 10000 instrumental bands suddenly appeared.

they were the SHADOWS. The man HANK B MARVIN.

he made a stratocaster talk back then and still does.

i agree on HENDRIX. loved PAGE check out the OUTLAWS from the 60s. BECK was brilliant but didnt get enough material recorded for me.

HANK MARVIN ROCKS

[atourdeforce]

i think clapton should be at no.1, i think knofler deserves to b in here too, would of liked to see srv higher up the list, but hey its still all good cause its your list not mine. p.s i love the inclusion of jeff healey at 15, he totally deserves to be in this. nice one dude!!

[Andrewkafp]

Like them all.. but no Paul Gilbert, Andy Timmons, George Lynch , and Angus..

[stairway0901]

who is the guitarist before john petrucci..and what song? sounds cool

[BryJovi17]

Video description....

[trixxytin]

thats edge of U2 playing new years day...

[midamericanwhiteguy]

two words BILLY GIBBONS ??????

[lstcougarlady]

Oh for gods sake will you quit being kids! This guy made a list on the side of who is in this video and it is HIS selection! So your favorite guy is not here so what! No need to have a hissy! Hell I love Gustavo Guerra and he is not here but wtf...that's ok too so stop your wining and giving Bryjovi17 such a hard time. Lets just enjoy what he has picked out and heck maybe he can take all your complaints and make a TOP 50 guitarists video next. I think he did a great job and I liked this video.

[BryJovi17]

thanks for that comment! and yeh i could happily pick the top 50 guitarists and it would probably satisfy 99% of viewers. then again the video limit on youtube is 10 minutes (600 seconds) and when i was making this video i wanted it to flow perfectly and so 20 guitarists, with 30 seconds of audio for each was what i came up with :)

[lstcougarlady]

oh well what can you do except make time to do another video....round two..."Another Top Twenty Guitarists" I am so amazed at the talent that I am seeing on You Tube. How I never got hooked into this years ago boggles me. What an outlet to hear good stuff.

[BryJovi17]

i suppose i could do that... after all it has been a year and a half since i uploaded this vid. 100,000 views almost too :) im happy with that. im glad there are lots of people out there who have strong opinions about their favourite guitarists. gustavo guerra is great too but i may only include him when he has at least 5 original albums :p mattrach is one talented guy too. hes got a lot of original material now as well.

[SlowMoJoe95]

in my opinion start with the 20th century guitarists then move to hammet, and morello etc. (they are great) but the others are better

[SvenIsHere]

nice list but wheres paul gilbert? hes great

[ooff]

ok the edge and tony need to be kicked off there should be chet atkins some where in there and what about mark knopfler?

[qaqqae]

buckethead and joe pery tom morello where is????

[feedbackoverflow]

WTF is Hammett doing in this list?

[trancemixer]

dude krick hammet is great u suck :D jk

[1diomedes]

You must be young! Only reason I could think of why you did not include Alvin Lee.

[SlowMoJoe95]

alvin lee's one of the greatist gods eva

[wertyui123456789]

no rory gallagher?and i would have put hetfield in this list before hammett..hes rythm is far more impressive than hammetts squealy ear piercing lead

[GodOfPies76]

nice list. would've liked to see alex lifeson in somebody's list once in a while tho...such an underrated guitarist.

[IZZy1003]

good job dude !

[whatahoot3]

Very impressive list, but you invalidated it by leaving out Michael Schenker. Zakk Wylde might also be considered and RANDY RHOADES.

[JamesIsMyNamo]

never:

a] mention z*kk wy*de's name again

2] spell randy rhoads's name wrong

[corn05]

nice to see the edge in your lot :) btw i would choose a "real" solo for the video (check "the fly" or "bullet the blue sky" live). Also, Frank Zappa is missing ;p

[XGoodkatX]

where's Buckethead ?????

[guitardude559]

whers santana

[BryJovi17]

i take it you didn't watch until the end OR read the video description...

[guitardude559]

oops

[MmusicfreakK]

Where's angus young?

[theaccadaccafan]

for true! He wrote the book on hard rock.

[tkdprince]

WHERE IS Santaria or some thing forgot how to spell his name lol

[BryJovi17]

you mean SANTANA?? hes in here - last but one in this vid - clearly u didnt get that far...

[tkdprince]

no moron i meant joe sanatriana but i saw him

[tkdprince]

label it

[ilgranchioassassino]

chemmerda!!!dov'è il mitico angus???

[adsterman123]

wers eric johnson?/????

[tkdprince]

hey ya!!!!!!! or Jay Reatard

[Shandaminion]

WHERES HERMAN LI!!!

[InFlamesisthashit]

men kom igen va fa*...

[mcwaddle]

oh fuck herman li

[chaos21212121]

john fruisciante should be up there but i guess he doesnt exactly fall into the music u appear to like except for jimi of course there a lot alike

[jozeaphe]

My favorates are : Guns N Roses - November Rain clip , and Led Zeppelin : stair way to heaven clip .

[profilercms]

very good list. Maybe missing Steve Hackett, Roy Buchanan, Uli Jon Roth, but i understand why you may of not including them since they are not played as much as the other artists. Good list again though.

[doogleandalix]

Glad to see Gary Moore made the Top 20 - he is so underrated .

I also think Harvey Mandel and Blind Alan Wilson are incredible and innovative guitar players who deserve more recognition .

[joe6panther6]

Great listen!

[megashegem]

One of the better list i've seen here on the tube...Just wish you could have thought it out a little more and included Alvin Lee...Ritchie Blackmore...and Michale Schenker.

[Niamorg1007]

the edge and richie sambora before petrucci, satriani, vai, hammett, malmsteen, santana and gilmour. okay...

[AtomicPeace]

This a really good list... It's really appreciated

[LunaticAssnGotzGame]

I Like this list, sure, angelo isn't there, but its still has some variation and the legends, so its all good. And this is a list of faves, so if buckethead and dimebag aren't there...than tough, their not tis dude's favorites.

[gsggbG559]

if people are going to make these lists they need to make them right!!!

by not leaving people out!!!!

[gsggbG559]

ummm ya his name would be David Gilmour!!!!!lol

[LAZBOY112]

i reconized santana , satriani , petrucci , hammet , hendrix , clapton , and the great guitarist of pink floyd

[TheNoteHelper]

The Guitarist for PF Is David Gilmour.

[KillKebab]

Needs moar Dimebag, Michael Angelo, Buckethead etc...

[YouRSoJewish]

and Slash

[WroughtDeathVids]

okay wheres dimebag?

[doconer1]

u definately need michael angelo batio in this

[afdtk]

Thx for including the Edge. He usually gets overlooked in these kinds of lists because he's not a shredder and a lot of people consider him primarily a rhythm player. (BBKing called him the best rhythm player in the world). But *nobody* sounds like him, and he always serves the song.

[AtomicPeace]

I would like to thank this Guy 2... I think that musicians underrate The Edge.

And Fans overrate him.

I think here he is more or less in the right place.

[mbeast009]

i dont know why people think that stairway is an overated song and solo. its so awesome i think its a little overated cause they have better songs and solos.

[TheNoteHelper]

It gets played all the friggin' time too which doesn't help.

[gundeezillion]

the guy like george harrison??? what is his name and the song name? pls reply on this page...pls

[gundeezillion]

what is the 17th songs name??? Or is it right to say the 3rd song??? .... by the way cool list,dude!

[Moses5592]

I like your list

[yourvideosucks1]

Hendrix will always be the best ever, no matter what anyone says, no one will ever be as good as he was, like i said when he died, what a waste it was.

[football8093]

wat about pete townshend

[guitarhero1424]

Metallica is not a Crap band

[skirbyr]

van halen and jimmi all others are copy bots

[ishaan719]

i think edge desreves a spot a lot of people disagree though

[shakezoolap]

Why, why is yngwie on the list, he's terrible.

[jmanh93]

Jimi hendrix was the first but not the best

[JamesIsMyNamo]

Some people are too ignorant to read the description. Well, nice list. Similar to what would be mine.

Others:

Angus Young

Randy Rhoads

Michae Angelo Batio

Duane Allman

others i can't think of at the moment

[gmchief1789]

my top 3 are: John Petrucci Joe Satriani Steve Vai

(not in order)

[mikkelroosevelthertz]

finally one who knows how to make a nice list!

[BryJovi17]

errr those 3 are in my list - and if youdve read the DESCRIPTION properly, youdve understood how my list actually works - ITS NOT IN ORDER, its just my top 20. EQUAL TOP 20.

[mikkelroosevelthertz]

WTF??

[mikusboi]

Santana's the man!

[acefrehleyrox7]

What about Angus Young, Ace Frehley, Zak Wilde? Kirk Hammet should be higher and Eddie Van Halen

[rossiildottore]

hammet is a good guitarist,bit never above sddie van halen

[mickdee06]

its not ranked he said that at the top 'not my personal ranking'

[Nitrodrums75]

im glad david gilmour made the list

[vladcd02]

what about Angus Young?:D

[vladcd02]

master of puppets solo is by hetfield, isn't it?

[VuyLamChuong]

Kirk hammets, the egde, sambora need to be erased

[lordsyed]

edge and sambora should be erased, Kirk Hammett needs to be moved up, dumbo

[rossiildottore]

why should be sambora erased?

have you ever heard one of his solo?

i don't think so!

[BryJovi17]

lol sambora in my opinion puts incredible feeling into his playing - WAY more than hammett, and sambora can also sing and play a variety of other instruments as well as a 12 string acoustic (ive very rarely seen hammett stray far from his electric guitars) hammett is technically more advanced than sambora, but that doesn't mean anything.

[nishtiger]

kirk hammet over rated !!!! vaughn and hely piss all over make him look silly than he actualy is what did he ever do that was so amazing ! nothing crap band to although he is talented but sop over rated!

[TwistLosi]

lol crap band? I guess thats why Metallica is one of the biggest bands of all time for heavy rock/metal

[guitarwizard987]

hey man at least kirk hammet didn't make 40 different songs from the same guitar lick if you listen to almost any SRV song you'll hear the same lick you hear in texas flood don't get me wrong i love srv but he played the same thing over and over again kirk hammet would kill srv

[nishtiger]

lmao kirk hammet vrs srv hmmmmmm have to think hard no way !!! srv pisses all over kirk hammet the only reason hammet is so well knowen is because his in metallica who i might add are so overated yeah his a good guitar player but not in the top 20 no way hammet would disapear like a fart in the wind if it wasnt for metallica and your as crazy as a rat in a tin shit house if you think that lol

[jlax22]

Kirk Hammett needs to be higher on this list

[kranen1]

Well, maybe top 10.

I think Tony Iommi should be higher =)

And Slash should be out of top 10.

The real Heavy Metal Guitar gods in this list is Jimmy Page and Tony Iommi, they are the best =)

[Breed86]

stevie ray vaughan should be number one. his version of voodoo child was 10 times better than that of hendrix. especially the el mocambo version. hendrix was lazy in comparison, especially live. btw, im not slagging hendrix, he's a massive massive genius, i just think SRV was better, his only flaw being he was a crap songwriter!

[bbbslasher]

fuck off, hendrix was better. listen to his other songs-all along the watchtower, bold as love, 1983, hey joe, purple haze...then get back to me and see if you STILL kiss vaugans ass

[nishtiger]

no way !!! he is right hendrix was sloppy and over rated yeh great guitarist give hendrix gage 13 !!!! strings and try playing vaughns stuff errrrr not a chance vaughn can play what hendrix did standing on his head and he sings better to (hedrix was a legend no doubt tho!)

[bigstU25]

that was the dumbest shit i read so far. what are u smoking crack? vaughns can probably do licks better than hendrix in a tighter fashion but hendrix was more inavative and hendrix was kinda sloppy but he did it on perpose and he mad sence of it, and more original by FFFAAARRR!

[nishtiger]

no never smoked crack i bt you do seem like you got some issues not even gonna waste my time argueing with you.

[bigstU25]

good, cause i do got issues with ignorance. u would lose the argument anyway.

[nishtiger]

you are an issue!

[DiegoMarotto]

where's SLASH???

[ProRhoadsRR5]

hes in there lol

[BryJovi17]

in this vid if youdve watched for longer than 2 minutes.....

[Bigdeezy74]

I love how people are saying oh wheres this guy. When its your favorite not theres.

[dangerosa01]

Brian may! number one

[pitwicas]

paul gilbert??

[BryJovi17]

hed be in my top 25 defo. it was hard to narrow down to a top 20 but yeh gilbert is classic

[CROMATADOR]

Sambora should be in top 3

[berlinskimichal]

where is JOe BONAMASSA?????????

[OzzyFan87]

Where the fuck is Randy Rhoads? He is better than all of these guys.

[12018617417]

DiD aN1 See Joe Perry ON DERE

[ortemanm]

and Mark Knopfler?????????????

[sifuasher]

Great list. I mean it, great variety, but Brian May has way better solos than "God Save the Queen". Example: We Will Rock You, Killer Queen, I Want it All, Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy, Bohemian Rhapsody, Keep Yourself Alive, and Brighton Rock to name a few.

[BryJovi17]

yup i know. thats why hes in this list. i come from the uk and queen are one of the best, if not THE best bands to have come from the UK, and im glad to have been born here for that :)

[MarinVillalpando15]

What's the name of the guitarist at 3:04?

[rockerguy211]

eddie van halen who should be no.1

[benimalover]

i like while my guitar gently weeps better when george harrison plays it.

[benimalover]

ritchie blackmore?from deep purple.but awesome taste.

[mokogintaz]

IT MUST BE "Pussy Video Dedication" [Top 20 Anal]!!!

[LotsOfBologna]

Wow, you really know your stuff... this is the most diverse list I've seen thus far and I like whom you've chosen.

In addition, I commend you for not ranking them or claiming its anything more than opinion.

[BryJovi17]

thanks for that comment! i really appreciate it. i took a lot of time considering my list, and how to put them - sort of in a chronological/genre order.

[montrealcanadiens777]

what about jason becker?

[Ir1s1]

Oh, and angus young, lol!

[Ir1s1]

Hmm, I think I could go along with this list, except perhaps cut either vai or satriani out( I think satriani) and put Joe Perry in, and perhaps place Santana higher, lol

[madbonjovifan]

Awesome list but where is Pete Townsend and Joe Perry?

[lukytas44]

what does "the edge" do in your list???i like u2...but that doesent mean hes a good guitarist...

[vincentmack37]

brian may playing god save the queen=homosexuality on a grand scale

[QueenCrazy46]

shut the hell up about brian may! he is the best guitarist EVER!

[happyfreestyler]

You all don't know the greatness of Jeff Beck i guess.

Get some solos of him and i tell you he is number 1 for ever!

[ITheVagabond]

yngwie and gary moore all the way!!!!

[ComeToButthead1]

Frank Marino....And of course the shredder of all shredders...Marcel Coenen doing his song Shoreline...Live or in his living room...this song rules.....

[arkee71]

was that richie sambors? lol  ....u put him in but left off duane allman les paul son house randy rhoads zakk wylde joe walsh ted nugent ans mark knopler dimebag ...and marty friedman

[ziko198]

What da fuck does Kirk Hammett do in your list ???

[mershdrop]

What!!??? No BLACKMORE!?

what're you thinkin'?

[AmethystDragon500]

whoa...awesome list!

[davidcandelas]

i would like to know why people use to forget Ritchie Blackmore in this kind of things

[paulguitarplayer]
