John Petrucci is definitely my fav. he's a f**king genius.

 

[Eelementary]

Eric "God" Clapton

Herman Li

[Eelementary]

I'd also like to add Dave Grohl. May not be the greatest player or all time, but I am in awe of his all around musical talent.

 

[Eelementary]

And Angus Young Mikael Akerfeldt, and I also respect Mike Oldfield's abilities.

 

[2 True Blues]

Mossy !!!

Angus is the greatest though. Top guitarist though his performance on stage is electric without amphetamines. A freak of musical nature for sure !!! !!!

 

[MKEB...]

Hammett
Brian May
Nuno Bettencourt
Eddie VanHalen
SRV
Andy Summers

 

[Apey]

Hendrix
Frusciante

two that stick out for me personally, probably due to my love of RHCP tunes

 

[Ron Jeremy]

Hammett
Brian May
Nuno Bettencourt
Eddie VanHalen
SRV
Andy Summers
