Here is my list thus far of the greatest guitarists of all time (in order):
1. Buckethead
2. Eric Clapton
3. Eddie Van Halen
4. Paul Gilbert
5. Joe Satriani
6. Randy Rhoads
This is mostly based on what I personally like to listen to, but I also tried to factor in technical skill, soloing, song-writing, speed, riffs, influence, etc.
Obviously everyone will have different lists, but we can all agree on one thing - anything tops the Rolling Stone list!
haha, the rolling stones list is horrible! I don\'t know what they were thinking... cmon... kurt cobain is #7 and niether Paul nor Buckethead is even on that list? Theres just no logic to that.
