This is my list of 10 best guitarists:
Jimi Hendrix
Eric Clapton
David Gilmour
Carlos Santana
Jeff Beck
Jimmy Page
Ritchie Blackmore
Gary Moore
Eric Johnson
Stevie Ray Vaughan

Though not all of them are my favorite. I used to listen to a lot of Vai, Satch and Hammett, but if you compare them to those in the list they are only guitar players.

Title says best, post says favourite. I guess I'll go for the latter. I find it hard ot chooes 10 fav's so i'll just go with people or ocmbos of people who I enjoy a lot and who I think are good in their own right.

Glen Tipton
Brian May
Dimebag Darrell
Dave Mustaine
Dan Donegan
Matt Heafy and Corey Beaulieu together
Ben Tovey
Jeff Hanneman/Gary Holt and Kerry King together
Michael Romeo
Nameless Ghoul Fire

Thought I'd choose a bunch nobody has mentioned yet (Michael Romeo the exception). Kinda shocked the top 3 weren't mentioned yet.

Here's my list. It's in no particular order.

1. Pauli Rantasalmi (The Rasmus).
2. Mikko Viljami Lindström (HIM).
3. Carlos Santana.
4. Eero Heinonen [bass] (The Rasmus).
5. Colin Farley [bass] (Cutting Crew).
6. Paul Wong (Beyond).
7. Hiroto (alice nine).
8. Amos Heller [bass] (Taylor Swift's bass player).
9. Ben Moody (Evanescence).
10. Adam Clayton [bass] (U2).

As a bassist by profession, I have included bass guitarists because we are shockingly underrepresented in the world of music.

Metal Mickey hit the nail on the head and drove it home with his list. Thomas Alva Edison, one of the most prolific inventors of all time, said, "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.". Listen to any one of the players on that list, and you will hear a song, a solo, or maybe even just a riff that you will instantly recognize for the rest of your life.
