Eric Clapton or Steve Lukather...
Both are excellent guitar players in their own style

Quote from wark :

Three more genre leaders: Dick Dale (representing surf), Brian Setzer (representing rockabilly), and John Fogerty (representing swamp rock).

Nice

Really impressive when Dick Dale and Gary Hoey get together. Those 2 can tear it up. You have to hand it to Brian Setzer, that guy tears it up considering he's toting that 137 pound Gretsch guitar around. John Fogerty - CCR - enough said about that.

Vlatko Stefanvski

if you can find a better guitar performance than this i owe you a fiver.

Where's Chris Rea?

My vote goes to Steve Vai :guitarist

Wes Borland :bluegrab:

Hendrix for sure and directly after him Page.

I love the way that video has subtitles in English for Knopfler's singing.

This has the best guitar solo ever recorded. It's at around 1m30 if you want to skip to it.

Honorable mention, Lindsay Bukingham (guitar, not the singing):

I'll agree, I don't know his name but he is a great guitarist. I am not sure if he is the best of all times, but he's pretty high up on the list.

Also, Alexi from Children Of Bodom comes high up on the list, he got the speed, feelings and overal quality with big scales that makes him a great guitarist.

I don't understand why people can't just play piano. It will sound nicer too.

It's just another way of getting sounds out of a guitar
I'm not very interested in learning that way, but dude... it sounds really fantastic (if you don't like the technique just open another tab and listen to the music :nod

Someday people will be plucking the strings inside their pianos like harps—just you wait!

The other thing I forgot to say is that anyone who uploads videos of themselves tapping a guitar to YouTube is a complete tosser. There's just no arguing to be done - he's clearly a self-absorbed guitar anorak feckless dickhead loser arsehole.
