“...the greatest guitarist ever ...”
You’ve lost your never lovin’ mind !
Ever heard of Jimi Hendrix or Carlos Santana fool ??!
Santana is a good player...but the whole Hendrix thing is so weird. The psychedelic thing he was doing for a few years..was really just alot of noise. Even he stopped playing it and went to back to a more blues type thing before his death. Jeff Beck was playing that stuff before Hendrix ever did. His songs were nothing special. Only because he died young and more important, he was black is why hes been idolized. All sounds very old and dated...never hear his music anywhere anymore. Sorry, but its true.

Randy Rhoads was every bit as good as Jimi. Had he lived he might have become the best ever. Carlos had other guitarists in his band playing lead, Neil Schon for example.

Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page, Chet Atkins, and Lindsey Buckingham are better than all of them.
They did not just play guitar. They owned it and drove down the road like a Mack Truck. They were great.
Different genera’s for sure, but the public only saw the metal side of Randy. Not too many saw the classically trained, finger picking, Randy. I did see one video of him, years ago, playing some Roy Clark, and doing it well. He was one of the greatest and probably had more ability/flexibility/training than Hendrix and Santana.
