Re: Best Guitarist ever not named Hendrix
I'll give you some of my personal favorites:

Mark Knopfler-best finger-picker on the planet, bar none.
Nuno Bettencourt-Guy's been cursed with being in some pretty terrible bands (Extreme) but is supposedly working on Perry Farrel's next project. Extremely pyrotechnic.
Joe Satriani-Duh. Love his work on the Chickenfoot album.

Re: Best Guitarist ever not named Hendrix
I am a HUGE Warren Haynes fan. Some people may be "faster" or play "harder" but to me, his playing tells stories.

I think it was BB King that once said you play blues licks like you speak in sentences. Warren has a tremendous knack for that. I only like music I can feel, and the emotions run strong when he picks up a 6 string.

Warren Haynes is amazing. And pairing him with Derek Trucks in the ABB is heaven to the ears. For a added bonus I have a copy of one of the shows from the Beacon this past run, Eric Clapton is the special guest.

Re: Best Guitarist ever not named Hendrix
Stevie Ray Vaughn - Saw him and Joe Satriani both on MTV unplugged years ago. SRV played a 12 string Yamaha. He was insane.


Chet Atkins - don't laugh, Mark Knopfler thinks that he is great.

Re: Best Guitarist ever not named Hendrix
My personal favorite is Steve Howe.

But for the best, I'd grudgingly give the nod to SRV.

Re: Best Guitarist ever not named Hendrix
Yngwie Malmsteen is always good, as well as Vivian Campbell.

Alvin Lee also.

Re: Best Guitarist ever not named Hendrix
I'll admit that Hendrix wasn't the greatest ever. As far as the hardest to replicate...Stevie Ray Vaughan and Mark Knophler were unreal.

Guys, I moved this thread to The Strip because there are probably thousands of similar threads of this nature there.
