April 30, 200916 yr people need to start recognizing john mayer, the dudes a legend in the making, just youtube his blues guitar songs/solos Yeah, you're right. John Mayer is very talented, he reminds me of SRV a little bit but of course you can hear his own style too. he's the only one young guitarist I would consider to put on this list. Anyway for me all time great guitarists are: Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Jeff Haley, Jeff Beck and BB King, Rory Gallagher (IMO very underrated) oh and I think rock/blues wouldn't have been the same without Robert Johnson.

April 30, 200916 yr It has to be said, Slash played some mean axe... very mean axe.... considering he was strung out about 99.9% of the time... jeez, I can barely even pick my guitar up after a few beers.... but, that fella, man, he made that guitar talk after shooting up, drinking Jack D and having to put up with Axl... now, that's a great guitarist :) Anyway, move this on a bit... instead of naming all these great guitarists that we all know about.... ask the question, who is the most underrated guitarist of all time? One guitarist who really came into his own as the band developed over the years was Billy Duffy from The Cult... well, worth checking out.. but, who else.....?
May 20, 200916 yr I'm not a guitarist but I'd say Tom Morello aka Nightwatchman of Rage Against The Machine & Audioslave. Unique - who else could make playing a guitar sound like screaming and vicious hip-hop scratching (most songs, best is Bulls on Parade) and still deliver more conventional-sounding killer solos like on "Settle for Nothing" whilst still being versatile enough to play straight forward acoustic blues on his solo album.
