Ahhhh ok, fair enuff.

Jimmy Page
Tom Morello
Can't be bothered to think of 10!

Take away all the effects pedals and what not, is Tom Morello still such a great guitarist? I'm not so sure. Definately not top ten of all time. Just for the record tho i dont dislike him and am a fan of Rage(well self titled and B.O.L.A. anyway) and Audioslave.

RORY GALLAGHER - RIP
RICHARD THOMPSON
CLIVE GREGSON
JIMI HENDRIX - RIP
ADRIAN LEGG
CHUCK PROPHET
JIMMMY PAGE
JACKIE LEVEN
JOHN MARTYN
JOHN SQUIRE


not claiming they are the fastest, the loudest, technically the best or whatever, just that I have enjoyed them far more than most other guitarists - its a combination of skill, feel and what works. Seen them all live ( except hendrix ) and its a near reiligious experience to see someone make six strings do those things.

Rory Gallagher in particular, could make 3 notes and an open chord a matter of wonder, raising the hairs and inspiring awe in a way most diddly diddly fretwank speedmerchants can only dream of. That said, Adrian Legg appears to have 15 fingers on each hand.

Slash
Jeff Buckley
John Frusciante
Angus Young
Jonny Greenwood

Better rhythm player
Mind you, Dave Mustaine was a f**king quality rhythm player - think him & Marty Friedman were similar to James & Kirk
