    Depends on what style you are looking for. For Jazz, Al Dimeola. For hard rock, Jimmy Page. For a more cerebral rock, David Gilmore. For Blues, B.B. King and Stevie Ray Vaughn. All depends on the music you are listening to.

    Andres Segovia (Classical) and Doc Watson (country), sadly both are now gone.

    No one favorite. Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana not in that order. Love them all. You can tell I'm a little "old school".

    No way to answer for me. So many are, or were, good. Each has a unique style and trying to say one is "best" is pretty hard.
    I will always have a soft spot for so many like Randy Rhoades, Angus Young, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and so many more. My choices are based more on the style of music than the particular player. I have a fondness for late 60's to 80's era hard rock and some metal. Jazz just isn't my thing despite the talent in that arena.
    You will learn far more at the casting, loading, and shooting bench than you ever will at a computer bench.

    There are lots of good guitar players, but only a few that can write good riffs. For example most say Hendrix was the best player, but Page was the best writer of classic rock. IMO the best player is one that can write good music also.

    Clapton won guitarist of the Millennium ..Not too sure I agree with that..but he was very influential..
    As a guitarist, I like Jeff Beck better
    But..
    It was Buchanan that influenced me to play guitar..

    There are many but I've always been a fan of Alvin Lee.

    I like too many to pick just one.. All the good blues cats, and the brits, and of course Rev. Billy Gibbons, and don't forget the Skynyrd genre either, all the good ol' southern rockers have melted over into country. It's like making gumbo, some of this, little of that, but it's all AMERICAN MUSIC, Made In USA!

    Not sure who is my favorite, but I come back to listening to Andy McKee often.
