No mention of Neal Schon on this list?
Come on people. When this guy was 16 he had offers to play with Clapton and Santana, and is regarded as one of the greatest by his contemporaries. People may dismiss his work with Journey as the band was often criticized as being too conventional (though many forget that their first three albums were very guitar indulgent) But his solo efforts--most of them entirely instrumental--reveal an artist who is second to none at expressing passion through their playing. You really hear, and feel the love, and even the pauses between notes are practically notes in themselves. No other player I have ever heard has a style so melodic, that so closely mimics the human voice. And while he has never tried to impress people with flash and burn speed, anyone with any knowledge of his work will tell you that he can easily match ANY player in that regard.
I would have to say though, that his best work is on Beyond the Thunder, and Electric World. Judging from what I've seen on this thread however, most of those posting would probably be more into Pirahna Blues, or Journey's first three albums.

Yeah, Neal Schon actually played with Santana for a little while prior to Journey. Journey's keyboard player also played with Santana, I think it was Greg Rollie. Selam |

Well, Dave Matthews of course. Who else can incorporate poetry and sweet guitar rhythms like that? Just a personal favourite. Not all would agree, but hey you asked.

Ritchie Blackmore, Michael Schenker, older Gary Moore, Yngwie Malmsteen, the Maiden guitarists. And yes, Neal Schon is underrated.

Certainly I can't speak regarding the best guitarists, but the following are my favorites to listen to:
Dave Mustaine - Megadeth
Hinds/Kelliher - Mastodon
Weatherman/Keenan - Corrosion of Conformity
Marty Friedman - Megadeth/Solo
Hetfield/Hammet - Metallica
Lenaire/Mendez - Tourniquet
Tony Iommi - Black Sabbath
Honorable Mention:
Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull for Aqualung
Schenker/Jabs of Scorpions for Lovedrive and Blackout
Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin for Led Zeppelin IV
Broderick Gray's solo album Metal Machine

I was going to ask if anyone had mentioned Michael Schenker before. It just so happens that I did just that a while back. My memory isn't what it used to be. But if youse guys (instead of y'all) don't mind, I'll post another video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwuUV5YNNJg |

While the new posthumous album from Jimi Hendrix doesn't come out until March 5, 2013, his former sound manager, Eddie Kramer, is teasing a single now. In the video (available above starting on Wednesday morning), Kramer teases a track on the album, titled "Somewhere." Just in the first five seconds, the track is distinctly Hendrix. |
