1) Zappa - When anybody else solos its an interlude. When Zappa solos its a lesson in music theory.
2) Carlos Montoya - Sometimes its all about structure.
3) BB - "Its not how many notes you can play, its how you play them" BBKing
4) Santana - Soul and style
5) Leo Kotke - I never knew there were that many notes in a chord.
Everybody else can sit down

Re: Your Top 5 Guitarists of all time
Nr.1 : Buckethead
Nr.2 : Slash
Nr.3 : Gilmour
Nr.4 : Tom Morello
Nr.5 : Jimi Hendrix
All of them are very good guitarists, specially BH. He does those "uberfretstyle" thing and taps like an god.
Slash does the classic-rock solos, also very good.
Gilmour does soft-kind relaxing solos.
Tom Morello... Yay! Very good sounds, especially in Rage Against The Machine.
And Jimi Hendrix... god now and then but i dont like him like an person more like an guitarist.
Re: Your Top 5 Guitarists of all time
Argh, why do people think Buckethead is so great? He has no musicality whatsoever.

Re: Your Top 5 Guitarists of all time
I think all of the following players have redefined the guitar in their respective generations:
Charlie Christian
Les Paul
Jimi Hendrix
Jeff Beck
Stanley Jordan (everyone else is just rehashing the work of the other four)
A couple of years ago I saw Robin Trower's 60th birthday tour and he was absolutely bloody fantastic!
Re: Your Top 5 Guitarists of all time
No one mentioned Eric Johnson. . .

Still don't see it.
All I hear is a few irritating drones, a bad EQ mix, and some weird squeaks. I'm a minute and a half in. That's enough.
EDIT: When he gets in to the Bach part, it's pretty cool. Still not worth the two minutes of BS he puts us through at the beginning.

Re: Your Top 5 Guitarists of all time
tongue in cheek I am going to offer Brian May....he knocks out a fairly decent chord or two

Chet Atkins
Eddie Cochran
Cliff Gallup
Grady Martin
Hank Garland

A pretty good observation, and I don't necessarily disagree because each did innovate in some way.
Every musician builds on what went before, but not many find a fresh voice.
For example, Jimi bridged blues greats like Buddy Guy and Muddy Waters with R&B players like Bobby Womack and Steve Cropper. His sound, writing, performance and presentation was absolutely original and fresh.
And Trower is great.
That's alright, I got my guitar
