Id vote Angus Young, he's been playing or over 30 years and he's really good.

james taylor? and his talking guiter?? I actually voted for ben.. b.c he's about the only one (besides James) that I listened too.

eeeew...AC/DC right? eeeeewwwww...

Whats wrong with AC/DC?

they are sick....anyone who would write a song like "big balls" would have to be

:P In all fairness the guy who who wrote and sang that songdied from drowning in his own puke...

SICK!!!

That's just plain nasty.

now im not going to be able to eat today, and i picked ben , because ben is ben and he rocks and hes a sold out christian , and hes cute .

they are sick....anyone who would write a song like "big balls" would have to be


I KNOW! SICKNESS!!!!

AC/DC ate my friend! (eating as in fell back into sin, not eaten alive ;))

I would say Phil keaggy even though hes not there...Him or hendrix....But its all about who you listen too and who plays what you like

NO. No Jimi Hendrix and his 'Smoke On The Water'. I've heard that TOO much.

I'd def. say Billy Martin, and I really like Ben as well...but those would have to be my favorite. And the guys from Extol. But Billy is def. at the top on my list.

Smoke on the Water was played by Deep Purple.

As for guitarists....
No Tom Morello? (audioslave, Rage Against the Machine)

dont get me wrong, Ben is awesome, but I personally think that Mark Tremonti is awesome....but i pick Tremonti, since Creed was my first love

Jimmy Paige hands down is the best not only as a guitarist but also as a producer.

I gotta go for him, that guy is very creative. We should get Ben to post some guitar players talent he likes.

althoug eating alive would be a distinct possibility if it was Ozzy and ur friend was a bat....lol

As I said my hubby is my favorite.

But if we are going by the above list Jimmy Page first and Clapton second. But Clapton is more of a bluesy dude. And if your considering the blues you gotta consider BB King, talk about smooth... One who should be on the list is Eddie Van Halen. As far as christian bands go I think Ben is the most talented. Now if we could get a good lengthy solo out of Ben we could compare him to the others. He is stinking awesome, but seeing Jimmy Page live do a solo for 15 minute that included the violin bow solo from "Dazed and Confused" was too cool.

I said Ben Kasica but my brother is my favorite guitarist.

:P In all fairness the guy who who wrote and sang that songdied from drowning in his own puke...


I voted Ben K. GO BEN!!!!!! BOOYA!

And I just ate before I read what I quoted, and it's not easy to grose me out, but drowning in your own puke, now that grosed me out. **Runs to the bathroom to vomit.**

I said Ben Kasica but my brother is my favorite guitarist.


Is your brother in a famous band?



And just for the record, I DID throw up from that drowning in puke thing.......

Well, Tony Iommi was named Greatest Metal guitarist of all time

you forgot to add ken sterots i think hes the best

:o WHERES JOE SATRIANI!?!?!?!?!?!

How could Surfing with the Alien NOT be included!?!?

This is unforgiveable!!!!!



lol

I have to agree that Satriani should be in the list.

Who?

The guy who TAUGHT Kirk Hammett (Lead guitarist of Metallica) how to play! download - Surfing with the alien by Joe Satriani and you'll hear some amazing guitar playing

I dont Look at guitarists as being good Just because they can rip solos faster than light speed. I look at how well they can create catchy melodies and riffs. Its not all about shredding your guitar until you bleed. Most times the shredding needs to have the melody to work off of...

I have to agree with you. I'm more into rhythm then I am soloing and shredding. True, it IS awesome and takes talent, but I'm more into rhythm and playing with strumming.

Joe does both. And both are incredible!!!

DOWNLOAD Surfing with the Alien! DOOOO IT!

Whats the link?

http://www.satriani.com/2002/discography/Surfing_With_The_Alien/

There.

Only a 45 sec clip. Doesn't do the song justice...

I dont use Kazaa anymore, not getting sued

plus it messes up your computer.

Alex Lifeson he's awesome toooo

Has anyone ever listened to Phil Keaggy? I mean, it's not exactly my music, but my dad listens to it sometimes, and Phil is really good. I heard that he was even one of the top 100 guitarists in Rolling Stone a couple years back.


BTW, how can you include the guitarist from AC/DC? They have a great sound, but it definately doesn't take an excessive amount of talent.

I dont kinow, He does some pretty Good work on the Live CD, and Truby from POD did a good job on the song Eternal...

Phil Keagy's the most tasteful guitarists I've heard in the Christian brachet! The guys awesome, no one can sweep pick like that guy, he's all over the neck! Not only does the dude love the Lord, but he's so good he has the respect of the secular world.
I'm affraid however that he's no match to Billy Corgan. He may not be "able" to sweep like Phil, but his solos were so gripping and so moving! He captured emotion with everything he did, and he knew his instrument well. He's hands down the best guitar player ever. Bar NONE! :afro:

Id vote Angus Young, he's been playing or over 30 years and he's really good.

The guys been playing the exact same thing for 30 years, so I imagine he'd ge pretty used to it. :D

:o WHERES JOE SATRIANI!?!?!?!?!?!

Joe Satriani is a technical bum who's chops are all worn out on egodom.

How about Billy Corgan or Stone Gossard?

*has to add Eric Weaver to the List ( from 12 stones)

What about Stevie Ray Vaughn? He was the only one besides Hendrix able to playe Voodo Chillie and he did it Live
