....riding a white tiger that's flying through Wembley Arena
Most of the ones I would've named have been listed.
Of those not mentioned, my alltime faves would be
B.B. King
Jimmy Page
Yngwie Malmsteen
Of more modern day guitarists I think Jack White (White Stripes) and Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead) could go on to become pick4pick greats in the future. They got some good chops.
how about this guy guys? ;D

CC on the Gibbons, Lyle. Did you know that him and Stevie Ray Vaughn grew up right around the corner? Amazing.Quote:

Ughhh! Mick Mars? Apparently you don't play at all, do you, Lyle. He's a descent rhythm player, but not a very skilled guitarist.Quote:

Lets give a shout out on the greatest ever. An undoubtedly greatest slide players. Duane Allman.
Also current players of the slide including Dave HOle, Johnny Winter, and Warren Haynes.
Winter is the greatest dobro player alive, IMO. Just listen to the Progressive Blues Experiment - amazing! Duane Allman was ahead of his time, too. Shame he died so young.Quote:

Yeah, Buchanan was a phenom. Another great that took his own life and also played telecasters is Danny Gatton:Quote:
