Top 3 for me are: Alex Lifeson of RUSH- Neal Schon of Journey- Ed Van Halen (The early years mainly from 78-82) Lets hear your top 3 ! **( Ok, it's hard to narrow down only 3 as there are many others, but 2 more all time best in my oppinion: Jimmy Page of Led Zep and Kirk Hammett of Metallica.

I don't think it was implied that everybody DOES, nor that they even should.

My top 3:

Michael Romeo (Symphony X)
Marty Friedman (Megadeth)
Alex Skolnick (Testament)

BB King
Eric Clapton
Django Reinhardt


Ok so I didn't read the topic...maybe Mr. King doesn't qualify.

Reinhardt was a jazz guitarist who influenced many of the greats such as Hendrix and Vaughn so I'll keep him in.

I'll replace BB King with Les Paul.

1. Dave Gilmour because he can take melody to a new level with his solos

2. Stevie Ray Vaughn could make you feel like trying without ever saying a word.

3. Johnny Ramone is the one who made me pick up a guitar and learn to play drinker

3. George Lynch (Dokken)- The most unrecognized guitarist ever. His solo's were smooth as silk.

2. Slash- Just love his style, and man his solo on November Rain is like the saddest guitar solo ever.

1. Jimi Hendrix- God of the guitar. Nuff said.

Eric Johnson is amazing.

Randy Rhodes was even more amazing.

B.B. King is the most amazing of them all.

BB King - Not that I listen to him often, but his subtle style leaves me amazed everytime I do hear him.

Slash - maybe not the perfect technical guitarist, but one of the last few who can make you feel the emotion pouring out of his Les Paul.

Zakk Wylde - Kudo's for bringin' the baddass back into the rock guitar world smokin
