Did you see Slash play on channel 4s UK hall of fame? What a performance the audiance was mesmerised as I was, absoutily brilliant. It changed my mind on how good he is.

Hendrix, SRV, Clapton, ...

... MICHAEL HEDGES

The Guitarists' Guitarist!

died Dec 1997 ... may he rest in peace!

if greatest means most popular to the general public he might just be a winner. He is nowhere near the most proficiant though. As much as people like to romance him he wasn't that good. even back in the 60's.

My Top 3:
Van Hallen, Jimi Hendrix & Eric Clapton

Heres mine:

1. David Gilmour
2. Jimi Hendrix
3. Jimmy Page
4. Eric Clapton
5. Lindsy Buckingham

ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!

im sorry, but david gilmour is NOWHERE NEAR the top of the list. First off, he was the REPLACEMENT for a better guitarist, Syd Barret. Secondly, how could he possibly be #1? show me a solo of his that even comes close to sweet child o' mine! (This coming from a Pink Floyd junkie, btw)

I think the list should be as follows:

Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Robert Johnson, B.B King, and Duane Allman
