Can't tell if Augustin Barrios Mangore was as legit a player as he was a composer, but I have to throw Vals 3 Op. 8 in here. Classical guitar heds.

Depends what you want from the guitarist, just fret wanking shreddin for the sake of it then it's all Stevie Vai, Satriani etc.... that shit bores me beyond belief. Would sooner here a mean sinister riff or something more experimental than a 'look at how good I am' guitar solo.

1: Jimi Hendrix
2: Steph Carpenter
3: Tom Morello
4: Jimmy Page
5: Dimebag
6: Matt Bellamy
7: Stevie Ray Vaughn
8: Josh Holme
9: Daron Malakain
10: Tony Iomi

If you don't think Steve Vai is experimental then you simply don't have a clue what you are talking about, as he is FAR more experimental than anyone on your list. He just happens also to be the most technically adept.

technical ≠ experimental

[hubb]

diego, will listen later

[kaili]

steve vai is cringe lmao

[hubb]

yeah ultra lame

the def leppard drummer was more integral to music

[wolf89]

I would jump on the whole "Steve Vai isn't experimental he just wanks off playing a bunch of modes quickly" thing but the guy who made the claim listed Matt Bellamay for fuck's sake

[wolf89]

Also I wish this was just the "good guitarists" thread rather than top 10 because it just gets bogged down with people considering shitloads of different aspects of what can be considered a good musician and arguing over technical skill where as I'd rather be just thinking about who sounds good or plays well independent of what should be valued highest.

post some good guitarists then chuckles

[hubb]

lol good point didnt clogg that .. tbf guy from muse is probably a lot better than jimi hendrix who was just known for his clothes
