Pete Townshend
Oh, Pete. He's destroyed why to many guitars, but his ability (playing not destroying) was awesome.

I think he abuses his guitar playing ability.
Care to elaborate on that Frylock?

For any of the Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler fans check on this video of Layla.

Arguably 2 of the best guitarist in the world playing to an unforgettable tune. Although I think it would have sounded better if Knopfler would have played on his Strat instead of his Pensa MKII Custom.

Chuck Berry, Gary Moore, Jimi Hendrix, Yngwie Malmsteen, they are all good guitar players.

I've already said (twice) that Hendrix is the best. I'm not considering this guy one of the greats,but listen to some of Jim West's work. Links: Let Me Be Your Hog

By abusing the guitar,I mean that on some of his songs,he plays his guitar in ways that drown out the meaning or tune of the song. Also,it drowns out his singing (not exactly a bad thing in some cases).

I mean James Hetfield's singing is what the guitarwork is drowning out.

I've never really noticed that before, normally Kirk plays simple bar chords or power chords while James is singing. Hetfield is almost always the one playing the loudest. Especially when he plays lead.

Mkay here are my top 5 favorite guitarist...

1. Kirk Hammett (Metallica)
2. Mark Knopfler (Solo/Dire Straits)
3. Eric Clapton (Solo/Yardbirds/Cream)
4. Pete Townshend (The Who)
5. Jerry Cantrell (Solo/Alice In Chains)

Yeah,I don't like it when he does that. I might like Metallica a little more if it weren't for that.

Chuck Schuldiner is pretty **** good.
Now he's a guitarist! He's really knew how to rock his B.C. Rich. His riffs were priceless with Death and his solos were unbeatable. Shame he died of cancer...
