Spodefly’s Top Ten Guitarists of All Time* (in no particular order):

Steve Howe
Eric Johnson
Steve Morse
Jimi Hendrix
Pat Metheny
David Gilmour
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Steve Vai
Joe Satriani
Jimmy Page

*Based on technical facility, capability for multiple styles of play, soul, feel, sound, uniqueness.

Don’t even try to argue with this list, because I have checked it carefully and it is 100% correct.

Good list. I like it more than the list RS compiled. You left out a few, but it’s a start.

I saw "Yes" and "Black Sabbath" together right as "Fragile" came out. We hadn't really heard of Yes except for "Roundabout." Howe blew Tommy Ionni (sp?) off the stage. Wasn't close.

If you want a current excellent Christian guitarist who doesn't go for a lot of distortion or tricks, listen to Lincoln Brewster. He played with Michael W. Smith and Journey for a while. Super.

sorry you missed one...Danny Gatton....even Vai bowed to him...they didn’t call him “The Humbler” for nothing...but saying that...Gatton tipped his hat to Lenny Breau....so who knows?
