To be honest Synyster Gates is awesome but he is no where near as good as some solo guitarists like Steve Vai and John Petrucci! Although in a lot of the top guitarists lists they do have loads of people that arent that good at playing like Kurt Cobain so i see what you mean!

I like Orianathi Panagaris, she's a really awesome guitarist, especially for a girl... I like Jimmy Hendrix and Slash too.

@Mark P: I'm pretty sure it's universally agreed that Jimi Hendrix, who was mentioned, is a better guitarist than Slash.

Kirk hammett & hendrix are my favourites, and the best IMO :)

Slash, IS good, but like cobain & clapton, although they are pretty damn awesome, he's overrated.

Why is'nt Slash on your list he wipes the floor with everyone that you mentioned.

Flub's picture

First of all, it's Kurt Cobain. lol

I would say:
1. Jimi Hendrix
2. Hank Marvin
3. Slash
4. Joe Satriani
5. John Mayer
6. Eddie Van Halen
7. Herman Li
8. Steve Ouimette

And in no particular order.

Tony Iommi, and Roger Waters

I have no idea what my list would be.I'm not a guitarists though so really I have no clue what technically makes a good guitarists. As long as they kick ass and play with heart and passion they're good to me. Now ask me a singer question and I can answer that lol why didn't my parents make me stick to guitar when I was little, I blame them lol
