Chuck Berry is the only acceptable answer.

I somehow forgot to mention Gary Moore...


As you probably noticed, I don't particularly value technical aspect of playing guitar. That isn't so hard to master, there are many unknown musicians who can do all sorts of crazy things with the instrument. What they cannot do, they can't make guitar "speak". Only few are capable of that. Gilmore, Hendrix and Knopfler are probably the best at doing exactly that. Not that I don't value technical players, included many of them. Overall, Satriani probably wins in every category but he hasn't created truly magical music like previously mentioned guitarists. His music is great, but it isn't magical.

Also don't get the hate for Hammett or Metallica members. They wrote some of the best metal songs. Dave Mustaine was huge part of it, though. But his greatest contribution to music is probably this :mrgreen:

They're all good. I have a recommendation for anyone who's into gear, the Premiere Guitar channel on YouTube. They interview musicians about their live setup and have talked to tons of people from Brian May to Eagles of Death Metal:

Brilliant but total jerkface. Although he has stiff competition in Steve Stevens (dude looks like bird and is married to total tramp). Thing about Yngwie, he'll be forgotten just as fast he played his guitar.

Radament is backing his fellow 'talians, I see. But he is also showing why I dislike Steve Vai even though I value his technical ability. That piece he played is basically feverishly masturbating with a guitar. There is zero artistical value or style in that. Metal shredders at least serve a purpose in their subgenre, these guys (Vai, Yngwie) who play guitar for sake of playing guitar bring nothing of worth to the table. They are like that one dude in music store who comes when you want to purchase guitar, who'll show you some tricks of what instrument is capable of. It serves purpose in music store, it is pointless on stage. Don't understand the people who pay to listen to that shit.

Radament, if you want to promote Italy at least pick Al Di Meola. He's more Italian than Vai and Satriani combined.

I don't know shit about guitars, but I really like John Norum from Europe (the band).



And for acoutstic guitar, there's no god for me except the one true god, Igor Presnyakov.  :)
