He was SIXTEEN when he released this album, by the way.

Well I wouldn't say Devin was one of the great guitarists but he is by far the greatest songwriter/vocalist of all time.

 

[Parra]

Andres Segovia
Chet Atkins

and if Steve Vai gets a mention then we can't forget the best of the best Ace Frehley

 

[Liam]

John Petrucci for mine.

 

[elyod138]

Jerry Cantrell

 

[Tommy Smith]

Needs more David Gilmour.

Keith Richards
Jimi Hendrix
Trey Spruance
Tom Morello
Steve James

But standing above them all, I give you: Unknown Hinson, King of Country Western troubadours.

 

[Nuke]

Brian May is a clear winner in my opinion.

Cant wait to hear his new stuff, especially his collaboration with ihsahn.

Also His contribution to the SIN-ATRA tribute, will be one of the most interesting versions of new york new york.

I bought Ihsahn's latest solo album a few months back.

Will be interesting to see how he sounds with the Dev.

 

[Ram Man]

Slash, and Joe Satriani are pretty special.
Dont laugh but, I am a bit of a fan of Tommy Emmanual tbh. Always thought he was pretty handy on the axe.

I'm a big fan of Steve Vai

I'll say him but alot of the others youse have said I would put in my top 10.

Surprised noone has mention Carlos Santana

Also Ima throw out that hot blonde chick orinathi? Not saying shes best of all time but I tell you she is special, I've heard some great great sh*t from her (not the crappy pop songs she tried to release, I mean some jams i've heard.).

 

[Danish]

I'm gonna throw Matt Bellamy into the mix. Most of Muse's music is reasonably understated but live he throws down some ridiculous solos

 

[PJ Marshal]

steve buscemi - wedding singer

 

[Packy]

It's so subjective. People like Morello have invented entire new ways to play and sounds yet probably isn't as technical as Vai and co.

Such a hard question.

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

Hendrix and May for mine.
