Top Guitarist all time

[TonyGe]

Personal vote is for Stevie Ray Vaughn.

I used to claim Jimi Hendrix; but then I realized.....Hendrix was no mere guitar player. He was a force of nature. There is Hendrix...and then there is daylight.

So, bringing it down to "guitar players", my vote is for Vaughn; but I am admittedly partial to the Blues.

Hendrix for me because of what you pointed out. The guy was a genius. No doubt about it. As a guitar player technically there are others that play faster etc. There are great videos on YouTube where Eddie Kramer, his producer goes through his songs and explains how they were recorded. He talks about Jimi with reverence. The guy has worked with a lot of great musicians so him putting Jimi first speaks volumes.

What's the opinion on Buckethead ?

Very underrated. I enjoy listening to some of his stuff. Too Many Humans is great.

My favourite Yardbirds material is mostly Clapton although I much prefer Jimmy Page after his body of work with Led Zep.
