QUOTE (shellshock1911 @ Nov 23 2007, 08:16 PM)  No offense, but I don't think Jimi Hendrix, Slash, Randy Rhoads, David Gilmour, Dimebag etc., should be anywhere close to the top 100. In my opinion, how much a guitarist influenced others, how much a guitarist expressed "emotion," "passion," "feel," etc, and how much a guitarist contributed to the world of guitar is no matter. Since emotion, passion, and feel cannot be defined and has different meanings among listeners, I think it should not be brought up at all when making a list like this. I think the basis should be how much each guitarist understands the fundamentals of the guitar itself. Having said that, my Top 20 would have to be... 1- Yngwie Malmsteen 2- Jason Becker 3- Marty Friedman 4- Michael Angelo Batio 5- Chris Impellitteri 6- Shawn Lane 7- Paul Gilbert 8- Tony MacAlpine 9- Vinnie Moore 10- Michael Romeo (No one has a better knowledge of theory) 11- John Petrucci 12- Steve Vai 13- Greg Howe 14- Joe Satriani 15- Buckethead 16- Rusty Cooley 17- Fransceso Farerri 18- Bruce Bouillet (Paul Gilbert's sidekick. Extremely underrated) 19- Glen Drover (Also extremely underrated, listen to Burnt Ice, Washington is Next, etc.) 20- Eric Johnson. I think its clear that you are very into shred, and your list represents some superb technicians, and awesome players, but there is more to guitar than a single style, and people like David Gilmour aren't pretending to be shredders, they are something very different, and its not really fair to either genre to compare them and say one is better than the other in shred terms. For me, the best and only criteria is how much a guitarists playing moves me emotionally, whether its by playing 100 notes perfectly accurately, or by picking 5 perfect notes and playing them in a specific way - the first is Steve Vai, the second is Dave Gilmour, and I love them both but for completely different reasons. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
