Per popular demand, after the very successful "Who Is Your Favorite Drummer?" thread, here we have a new posting to determine who is your favorite guitarist of all time.
Great fly on the wall look at The Who in the studio recording one of their best singles. Start at 1:40 to see Pete at his very best:

He did great! I’m not exactly a bass connoisseur but he did his old man and his uncle proud, no doubt about it.
Interesting choice-—I heard something on the radio a few years ago that got my attention simply AS A PIECE OF MUSIC and I couldn’t wait to hear who it was; the DJ said, THAT, believe it or not, was Dick Dale , who did all those surfin’ records!” It had NO relationship with what I would have expected from him.I couldn’t believe it, I was in the car and couldn’t find anything to write the name of the tune or the album down with, so I don’t remember what it was. But I would love to find out. SOMETHING JUST OCCURRED TO ME: i have Rhapsody, and I could type him in as “artist” and search for it that way.
I second your Fripp. Listening to ‘Red’ as I type.
Have to break it down by time period and genre,
Old stuff: Mississippi John Hurt, Rev. Gary Davis, and Bukka White
First wave of electric: T Bone Walker, Muddy Waters, Freddie King, Albert King
“Psychadelic”: Hendrix, Buddy Guy, Sonny Sharrock (spelling?), Jean-Paul Bourelly
This week it’s Tom Waits - “Nighthawks at the Diner” album. Particularly The “Crumb” soundtrack (incredible blues from the teens, 20’s, and 30’s)
Nick Drake.
Thats not fair, his amps went to 11!
Keith Richards, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page.
Saw Phil Keaggy a couple of weeks ago for $15 in a small venue. Along with a band he recently got together. Yes - he is unbelievable. Someone shouted out a favorite song. Phil said something like - “well, we can try. But the band hasn’t learned that one yet.” I thought he was joking until the band started riffling through their music trying to find it (it wasn’t there).
I think the drummer knew it. The bass player and the other guitar guy just jammed along. The flute player grabbed a maracca, and the piano player just watched and grinned.
At the end Phil was very impressed with his band - and wanted to make sure that someone had gotten that on tape. It was really fun.
I’m going to see another favorite in a few days - ALEC LIFESON with Rush. I’m pretty sure they know all their songs! But, Rush is a bit TOO scripted and perfected - so it was really fun to see Keaggy and his band just jam.

I’ve seen Phil Keaggy twice. Jaw dropping both times.
Just awe inspiring. Amazing. Ridiculous.
Stevie Ray Vaughan, and he demonstrates it here, “Texas Flood” from 1983 in Toronto:
