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 went to a Steve Vai/Joe Satriani/ERic Johnson concert in high school. What an amazing show.
For the same reasons as the drummer poll, I refuse to vote. To even speculate that one of these would be best guitarist... rock guitarists maybe, otherwise... Andres Segovia?
My favorite from that list is probably Eric Johnson, but he's not necessarily "better" than someone like Hendrix who just had amazing ability.
I voted for Tom Morello because he is my favorite of that group. I could see how people could vote for a lot of guys on that list. There is some SERIOUS talent in that poll.
I intended to cover a fairly broad range of style. For purposes of this poll you can pick your favorite style - that is what I ultimately went for on the drummer poll.

It's not like we are voting on the Heisman or anything. :icon_wink: In the spirit of that award (it is Heisman week), I think we should leave it open to interpretation what the "Best Guitarist" label actually means.Originally Posted by duckbillplatty
Gaspar Sanz
Fernando Sor
Mauro Giuliani
Francisco Tárrega
Andrés Segovia
Julian Bream
John Williams
But you guys probably haven't heard of any of them, huh?
...so I'll take Petrucci and the Jim(i, my)s with honorable mention going to Clapton, SR Vaughn, and David Gilmour.
OK. In the spirit of that award, I will vote for Eric Johnson as my favorite for reasons other than ability. Only that I like his music. I will still save Segovia for the best if I had to choose that award.
FWIW, I'm impressed with your list of rock guitarists. It looks like you know a good it about modern rock guitarists.
There's a movie called crossroads where Karate Kid and Steve Vai have a guitar battle. Ralph Maccio may actually deserve a spot on this list after that flick.
Did he use the Crane technique? Did he sweep the leg? :icon_wink:
Ralph Maccio wouldn't sweep the leg. That is something the Cobra Chi would do.

I know. I was a big Cobra Kai fan back in the day. Johnny rocked!
Eddie VH then Slash...
Nuno from Extreme is pretty good, too.
Me too. Notice my sig line.

Guitar lessons from Buckethead and his hand puppet.
