Re: Current Greats and all time greatest Guitar players
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.

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

Nice one, Lords. I never listened to Timmons before and that was certainly a treat. Vai is undoubtedly the greatest living technician on his instrument. I just think that he tries to sound like Frank Zappa a bit too much, who was also an all time great that I forgot to mention.

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.

Love how you included Roy Buchanan....the king of the telecaster in your all time greats. however in current greats I believe that Mark Knoplher should be included.

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.

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

Everything after Cream is pure SHITE! Maybe with the exception of the 'From the Cradle' album and 'Eric Clapton: Unplugged'. He's not that impressive of a player anymore.

Re: Current Greats and all time greatest Guitar players
Call me CRAZY! but I think Tom Morello (formerly from R.A.T.M. and now with Audioslave) is the best guitarist of recent times.
