Bump for Ry Cooder
Zappa was good. Listen to some Roy Buchanan. EVH bores me.
Bump for Ry Cooder
hendrix is #1. he played a different instrument than anyone before or after. anyone who says otherwise is not allowed to participate in the discussion.
after that the debate begins.
Derek Trucks is the best guitar player I've ever seen.
Here are some others I've seen:
Eric Clapton (past his prime, but also a lifetime of practice)
Buddy Guy
Warren Haynes
Trey Anastasio (flame away, he's technically brilliant, if a poor songwriter)
Jimmy Page (w/Allison Krauss, it was a weird show, and he played acoustic the whole night)
Nels Cline
Jonny Greenwood
Brock Butler (look up Sundog by Perpetual Groove)
Keith Richards
Robert Randolph
Jake Cinninger (apetit mentioned, he's insanely good)
J Masics
Buckethead (some have speculated it's Eddy Van Halen)
So many more. Derek Trucks is a good.
lol I had no idea who Tremonti was and had to Google him. Not a big Creed fan.
This is the first time I ever saw Derek Trucks live
oh brother. he's good, don't get me wrong, but that's like saying LD Williams is the best dunker of all time /thread
you're clearly (homoerotically) biased.

The best I have ever seen was Glen Tipton and KK Downing of Judas Priest.
It depends on what you are looking for. George Harrison and Jerry Garcia were unbelievable guitarists, they just weren't shredders. Pos rep to the Vernon Reid reference. Prince as well. EVH will always be a bad ass. Agree also that as far as shredding, the list begins and ends with Hendrix.
