Eh? At which alter do you pray. Personally I love Steve Vai. What he does with a guitar makes me cry with envy.

Is there truly another? Can there be? I say...
...maybe. But it'll be tough.
I prefer some of the news-> John Petrucci, from Dream Theater.
Of course J. Hendrix, Santana or Clapton never died...~:cheers:

Great footage of his whole Woodstock performance, not just the ten minutes shown in the Woodstock documentary. Lots of interviews, lots of extras, but most of all, lots of Jimi performing. It's a two DVD set, great sound and picture quality, comes in a nice box with some reading material, and only $15.
This is a must-have!
Hendrix and Page. From the modern gods I enjoyed Satriani's concert immensely, but the real gods are to be found a number of decades ago.
Hank Marvin (Shadows)
Glen Tippton (Judas Priest)
Criss Oliva (R.I.P. Savatage)

Ive seen him a few times and hes a keyboard player and one of the best. His version of Purple haze is amazing in that you would swear hes playing a guitar.
Lets not leave out his mentor and that of many other great guitarists the one and only Frank Zappa. A truly amazing and overlooked guitar player by most of the mainstream.Quote:

That being said all the greatest guitarists other than Hendrix play fusion.
Odd that no one mentioned Syd Barrett- but I guess he was more of a writer. Still, "Interstellar Overdrive" is my favorite single Floyd song of all time- that was some damn good guitar work.
Surprised are you kidding? Hes far from even the best guitarist in Floyd.~DQuote:

Hey, we think alike. This is the first name to come to my mind. ~:cheers:Quote:

(he was the guitarist of the Verve, a british band from the 90's)
I hate guitar gods...I'll have to go with Chuck Schuldiner.
Kirk Hammett
Tony Rombola
Best two...
Yep, that's why I put the tongue-in-cheek smilie. He is indeed a keyboard player who is famous for simulating explosive rock guitar. He is, by far, my favorite keyboardist. I think he lives in Manhattan too.Quote:

I would have to choose between Santana and Jimi.
My friend can play most of Hendrix's stuff...I can play most of it too...
Prob. Clapton, or the guys from Skynyrd.
Jimi created it in the first place. But good for you. :bow:Quote:

Hendrix is surpassed in both technical ability, songwriting talent and innovation by just about every record in my collection.Quote:
