Jimi Hendrix

What about you OT? And on another note, do you know any guitarists that sing and play lead guitar at the same time? I can only think of a few.

Jimi hendrix is my all time favourite, but among the living, it's john frusciante.

The absense of Jimmy Page from this list disappoints me, but Jimi Hendrix is the best overall.

It's hard to pick one.

However, I will be different and mention:

My all time favourite guitarist is Flea, but I don't think he counts as being able to get his picture in this thread, cause he's merely a bass guitarist.

In response to your question: -- John Mayer -- Jack Johnson -- Dave Matthews -- Kurt Cobain -- Stevie Ray Vaughan -- Norah Jones -- John Lennon Yup, yup :P. Also, Kurt Cobain is my favorite. He's not very technically proficient, but he's just awesome.

Marty!! Seriously, I miss him in Megadeth so much. Chris Broderick might be better technically but he doesn't WOW me like Marty Friedman did.

Indeed, it saddens me as well. If he had been able to continue he most likely would have become even more talented and proficient. Even his early stuff is incredible.

I would have to say Greg Ginn. I know there are many guitarists out there who are more technically proficient, but his style is so unique; no other guitarist I can think of can express aggression the way he did in Black Flag.

My favourite guitar player is James Hetfield. In my opinion he's the best rhythm guitar player of all time, and he's one of Metal's greatest frontmen.

But I've always liked Joe Satriani, he's the true virtuoso of the guitar.
