I like the overlooked lists (being a guitar player), so here's mine:

-Robert Fripp

-Julian Lage (one of the finest besides Govan)

-Graham Coxon (alternative to J. Greenwood)

I find their respective approach a lot more interesting, less run off the mill... but that's just me.

Jimi is still the souful king tho.

John Petrucci
David Gilmour
Chris DeGarmo
Alex Skolnick

Hard to list only five, but I’ll try.

Yngwie Malmsteen
Steve Vai
Ritchie Blackmore
Jake E. Lee
Randy Rhoads

 

[acguitar84]

This list is excluding jazz players like Pat Metheny and classical players such as Segovia and Christopher Parkening, and even country players like Brent Mason.


I’m just going to list my 5 favorite rock and blues guitarists.

Jimi Hendrix
Eddie Van Halen
Jimmy Page
Eric Johnson
Stevie Ray Vaughan

A few I felt bad leaving off the list are Steve Morse, Steve Lukather, Randy Rhoads, Steve Vai and Joe Satriani. Also a shout out to Terry Kath. I’ve been listening to Chicago a lot lately and love his guitar playing.
