Hard to mention any guitarist's now, seeing as most have been mentioned.  But, I will chuck a new name in and see how it goes.

I guess if you are asking the one guitarist most people think was the best, or held in the highest regard, then it would have to be Jimi.

I think the idea here is to make this some kinda survivor.

I'm not sure though :confused:

With yours going.....

....and GN'R becoming more and more active.

I think it would be a bit too much.

There's a right time and place. ;)

As for lists, take metallex78's, add Ed Mundell and that is it for me : ok:
