Ok, so not quite. Jimi Hendrix I think is probably the best ever, but I love Page. And Clapton. And Garcia. And Keef Richards. And Duane Allman. And Neil Young. And Bob Dylan. And....
It goes on and on. I guess I don't have a favorite one dude.

Re: Your favorate guitarist!
Dave Murray, definately.
GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

Re: Your favorate guitarist!
My 3 favourite guitarists, in no particular order-
Jimmy Page
Dave Gilmour
Jimi Hendrix
I would say that Pagey just about edges it, due to the fact that he's written about 3 million of the best riffs ever...
I adore Gilmour's melodicism and soundscapes, however. He can make me feel more than any other guitarist.

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Re: Your favorate guitarist!
Jack White is the best guitarist to ever live IMO and also my favorite
the Edge from U2 is also quite good. he's the second best guitarist ever IMO

Ah, now, bass...
I'm a really big Jaco Pastorius fan.
Cliff Burton from Metallica was also an incredible bassist. It was after his death that the band started going down hill...

Re: Your favorate guitarist!
Ooops! How could I forget the Edge, he's pretty amazing.
Re: Your favorate guitarist!
Anyone who grew up in the late 70s/early 80s... is there anyone new out there these days who can compete with the sheer notes-per-second velocity of guitarists like Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmstein, Kirk Hammett, (and even good old Eddie VH in his prime), etc...?
I lost track of the guitar scene when I got married (ten years ago), but the few times I catch "rock" stations these days, they're full of bands that sound like Exact copies of each other. And it sounds like someone in marketing said, "Say goodbye to solo guitar..."
"Die Wahrheit ruht in Gott / Uns bleibt das Forschen." Johann von Müller
Re: Your favorate guitarist!
Tim Reynolds is pretty fast and a good soloist.
I agree with you that many sound like copies these days and soloing is not so important anymore. It's been over 10 years since there was any explosion of good rock guitarists and originality. There is still good ones out there, you have to look...hard...as far as rock/alt rock guitarists anyway, don't know about metal, I stopped following it when it became only about huge power chords and screaming :)
