"I'll agree with the two posters who gave extra props to David Gilmour. There are many, many more technical guitarists out there - but that cat can really make a guitar SING. And it goes right to your soul, too..."The solo off of "On the Turning Away" from the live record is amazing.
Gilmour is the real thing.

love darkness darkness
took me a few days to get the lead down good enough to
play in front of people.
and ted nugent in the amboy dukes days playing his 1/100000
time notes on prodical son is as good as it gets.

The opening to "Roundabout"(even though I've heard it and heard it and HEARD it) sets the stage for an unforgettable musical ride. My favorite Yes song-please don't make me pick one,I'm so torn.
As far as guitar riffs,who hasn't played air guitar to "Smoke On The Water"'s opening riff?

Let's first say this is for the SONG not the artist as a whole. You coulda hit one song and be called the greatest by the standards of this question/survey.
That being said...this is not the case. Greatest guitar player of all time is too broad. My list would read, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimi Page, Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Ted Nugent, Johnnie Winter.....
"Stairway" is still the top of every greatest rock song of all time list. Year after year, decade after decade. Think about it...every minute around the world somewhere a Led Zeppelin song is playing...for 35 years going....says it at.
Robert Plant, Jimi Page , John Paul Jones and John Bonham were/are the greatest rock musicians/group of all time.

Wow.. I saw them do that SO LONG ago at the California Jam.. a huge 2 or 3 day festival in the early 70's. Sabbath, Deep Purple, ELP ...a bunch of others. I was only 13 or 14 years old.
My Dad forbid me to go.. I went anyway and was in the worst trouble of my young life when I got back.
To: Eric in the Ozarks
Jeff Beck's "Ain't Superstitious" should be in the top ten...
Absolutely. One of my favorites. And don't forget Joe Walsh. His work outside of the Eagles, either with the James Gang or his solo efforts were great.

Saw Capt. Beefheart at the Iowa Memorial Union in Iowa City, sometime in 69 or 70. The seating was on the festival (on the floor) and this didn't leave much room for my date and I. I had just filled up with gas at the Shell station and they were giving away steak knives as a promotion. When I took off my Navy pea-coat for us to sit on, the knife flipped out on the floor. People around us made sure there was plenty of room after that...

i love all his double note leads on the beatles covers of
everybodys trying to be my baby and words of love.
by the way
and your bird can sing is one hard lead to play, it goes in my top 10 for sure.

> ...excesses and pretentiousness, much like In A-Gadda Da Vida
My current record for remixing In A-Gadda Da Vida stands at a little over 45 minutes, next time I'm shooting for 80.
