It almost seems like there is some amazing guitarist in every decade:

ex: 60's and 70's= Jimi hendrix
80's= Slash
90's= Tom morello

Who is that one guitarist that you just said holy (insert "s" word here)?
Is it still Tom morello even though he left rage against the machine?

I vote for gates (avenged sevenfold's lead guitarist) this is a cover of one of his solos =)

60s: Jimi Hendrix
70s: Tony Iommi
80s: Kirk Hammett


Where're Eric Clapton? Carlos Santana? Jeff Beck?

1. Joe Satriani
2. Bob Dylan
3. Peter Frampton.
4. Herman Li
5. Slash


bob Dylan is good, but not THAT good. Satch is. . .mediocre. Not even deserving of being in the top 100. Frampton is good, but not THAT good. Herman Li. . .is okay. Slash is overrated.

Top 5:

1. Eric Clapton
2. Duane Allman
3. Jimi Hendrix
4. Carlos Santana
5. Stevie Ray Vaughan

For 00s, Eric Clapton. He released an album with Steve Winwood a few years back, so he counts. John Mayer is also surprisingly good - he's covered Hendrix very well, and toured with Eric Clapton before. He was nicknamed 'Slowhand Jr.' A lot of his parts are very neat too.

Dave Mustaine is also quite good. Sticking with my answers though.

I would say Slash has never gone out of style. He is still around, so I think he is the best. Also, Bob Dylan.

You know he's making a solo album, with flea? It is going to be insane

This thread has started as an idea of guitarists of certain decades, and has now turned into a debate about the best guitarists period, in less than 3 pages.

Nice.
