Nottingham Lace (live) - Buckethead
I recommend jumping to 2:30 to start at the buildup for the solo. And behold the single handed hammer-on-pull-off shred at about 4:00.

Jordan Mills on choosing Tech:
“It’s a great experience seeing them play. It was a good atmosphere. The fans stood up the whole game and never sat down. They have a great fan base.”

I need to get me one of those black vests.

Yeah, they've gotten older huh? Ralph Machio sort of looks the same though. Except his face has filled out some.
Nigel Tufnel, hands down. I mean, his freakin' amps go to 11.
Nobody had better guitar solos than Tufnel. One wonders if his genius was due to his vast musical knowledge ("This is sort of half Mozart, half Bach piece. It's a 'Mach'"). Or whether it was his brilliant surrounding cast: St. Hubbins, Smalls, Savage and Shrimpton.

I voted for Clapton, but where are Chet Atkins, Glen Campbell, Earl Klugh, and George Benson?
I'm an asshole! What's your excuse?
There are only room for 10 options, and I don't care for them anyway.

No Les Paul?
The father of electric guitar?
Voted for Clapton since SRV was not listed -
James Burton is one of the best STUDIO guitarists there is ever -
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
Instead of Best Guitarist thread (there are too many, plus all have different styles). You should have used "favorite" guitarist.
Here's a list of my favs.
2000's - Robert Randolph
90s - Tom Morello
80's - Eddie Van Halen
70's - Eric Clapton
60's - Jimi Hendrix
Blues - Got to go with BB King and SRV
Who, last I heard, is STILL gigging into his 90s!
The best Rock guitarist of all time is Jimi Hendrix. Had Jimi lived long enough to see the technological advances in amp, effects etc. we would have really been able to capture his genius. The guys that have the great technique like Steve Vai are amazing but do not have the soul to music that grabs your heart. They are still great to watch and listen to but the music is not as fulfilling. Of all of that type of guitarist Edward Van Halen, especially early on had the most soul. Stevie Ray Vaughn without a doubt played as though channeling the spirit of Jimi Hendrix. Eric Clapton was the first white man to play authentic Blues and took it elsewhere. One style that I do not see represented is the finger picking style of Mark Knopfler, and if you give him homage you must recognize Chet Atkins. I love the innovative style of Tom Morello, he seems to make sounds come out of a guitar that are from another world. Someone to consider is Brian Setzer, he is a great guitarist and revived both the rockabilly and swing sounds.
I kind of break them down into groups:
Traditionalist
Technicians
Innovators
Some fall into more than one category, Like Eddie Van Halen I would consider a Technician/Innovator. Maybe someone else could add to this theory.
You obviously don't "pick" the guitar...you must be a "strummer."
