Ok, so there's been plenty of amazing guitar players through the years but who is your favourite and why?
By the way it does not necessarily have to be the most talented.

Frank Iero. He just loves to play so much and puts every ounce of his body into his performance. He is so inspiring.
Huuum.... i dont know many guitarists but Josh is the reason why i start guitar recently so Josh Farro.
Oh man, what a broad question! I like John Frusciante though (RCHP).
Orianti.....shes amazing.
Matt Bellamy for sure. The things that man can do with a guitar... his Manson Glitterati with the Kaoss pad is legendary.
I love Santana :)
Matt Bellamy.
Monte Money
Josh Farro
Taylor York
Orianthi (no one mentioned her??? haha)
Sameer Bhattachyra
Blake Harnage
I have more bit I'd be here a whole lot longer if i listed them all.
But for their insaneness on guitar (thats a technical term by the way =P) Monte and Orianthi are probably my favourite. Especially cause Orianthi is Aussie and she's the only girl I've seen that shreds like she does haha. Both of their soloing(?) is amazing
Randy Rhoads
Joe Satriani
Matt Tuck
Dave Mustaine
Angus Young
Josh Farro
Can't choose. Obviously.
I like Josh cause I've had a crush on him for a long time and the others just basically kick major ass.
Frank Iero coz My Chemical Romance are awesome. like paramore and i cant choose which band i like better. ' ~ '
Kurt Cobain
Slash
Matt Bellamy
my masters!
I still believe I'll be like them but whoa my faith is blind :P
they're the best for me :)
John Petrucci ftw!
So many to name...
Matt Bellamy
Keith Urban
Eric Clapton
Taylor York and Josh Farro of course...
But I think John Mayer is my favourite - he is my favourite artists so really has an advantage there... Other than that he is a genius with the guitar - definitely a God like Rollingstones mag quoted...
=)
@Gonna Sounds like maybe I would've felt the same. I saw Street Sweeper Social Club about a couple of years ago thought he was really good (as with RATM), but I agree he didn't reach out much to the fans during the performance.
Yep, he is allowed to have an opinion. That is all well and good, but not once did he properly thank us as the fans and that's what bugged me.
No thanks for buying our cds, out merch, lining up for hours in the heat, rain, snow, supporting us even when we were pimply little teens. Nothing. That is why I am so against him right now.
And yeah, it isn't about personality. But it does help if the guitarist doesn't play as dully as the flavor of water. So, yeah, he used to have charisma on stage and he used to go all out when he played and that's what got me hooked on him. That and he can actually play.
But things went down hill after I saw him in Sydney in October. Since then, I haven't really looked up to him as a guitarist at all.
:)
Kirk Hammet, Alex Lifeson, and I really like Marcus Mumford, even if he's nothing special.
Oh, also, and Davy Johnstone from Elton John's band: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gu11pRrfe9U&t=6m38s
And, that guy Jake Pitts from Black Veil Brides seems pretty nimble on the strat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFDCHdKbKBY&t=0m26s
(Man, there sure are a lot of good guitarists out there. +1 on Brian May and Flea, too.)
i also like flea from red hot chili peppers
brian may form queen and i also love george harrison
Matt Bellamy is definitely the most talented guitarist.
Obviously Taylor York and Josh Farro are pretty good.
i love to see how many people admires matt bellamy, tom morello and slash as much as I do :D
What an easy question!
MATTHEW BELLAMY!
slash coz he has a top hat!:L and hes kick ass at guitar
@Martin Yeh i'm suprised nobody has mentioned Satriani, Vai or Clapton yet
@Gonna You may well have a point about T.M., of course, but the question was about favorite guitarists (which most of us took to be about how well they play), not about whether the guitarists have a good personality. :-)
Taylor York
Billie Joe Armstrong
Tom Linton
Ray Toro
Frank Iero
Mateo Camargo
Terry Balsamo
They're a few of my favourites, I'd be here all day if I listed them all. :)
Matt belamy.
hes just amazing.
i saw muse live, and they were better live then on cd..if thats even possible. :)
@Gonna He's allowed to have an opinion.
No, I strongly dislike him because he acted like an absolute twat...
Tom Morello is awesome too!
