not even close.\nseriously he's good don't get me wrong. but think of all the great guitarists that have come and gone.\nsome of the greatest guitar players were never even in rock bands, that chick that was on the surreal life, Charro? or somethin like that, she's probably one of the top 5 guitarists EVER. (i don't like her music but shes a hell of a guitarist) and people like Esteban? another great guitarist, who ever heard of him before his infomercials?\n\nthen you also got to factor in hendrix, jimmy paige, clapton, stevie ray vaughn? come on guys, actually think about this one.

Preston Reed.\n\nHe's an awesome fingerstyle guitar player.  I recently saw him in concert and was blown away by his technique and style.  I bought two of his cd's on the spot and will absolutely see him in concert again the next time he's touring the States.\n\nhttp://www.prestonreed.com\n\nHere's some sample videos that you have to watch:\n(You may need to right-click and 'save target as', download it, then play it)\nhttp://homespun.powerusermedia.com/Homespun_Tapes/VD-PRE-PF01_Concert2.wmv\nhttp://homespun.powerusermedia.com/Homespun_Tapes/VD-PRE-GT01_Guitar2.wmv\n\nOther stuff:\nhttp://www.homespunvideo.com/prodpg/prodpg.asp?prodID=191&prodType=\nhttp://www.homespunvideo.com/prodpg/prodpg.asp?prodID=531&prodType=\n\nPart of some reviews:\n"Within 10 seconds of listening to him, you'll realize just how little innovation is on display by the McBands receiving heavy rotation on MTV or Your Local Alternative Radio Station. ... Reed is a treasure, an absolute must-listen for those even tangentially interested in acoustic guitar music, and a one-of-a-kind innovator who will change the way you approach the guitar in both your listening and your performing.

I love Jimi Hendrix, his hypnotic guitar playing is what first inspired me to learn guitar and be a musician... and I LOVE the Live at Woodstock CD...waay before my time, but it still rocked...I feel like I'm right there in the crowd...even though it was like...30-somethin years ago...But I also like Nirvana's MTV Unplugged CD...all my favorite songs live...I especially love their cover of "The Man Who Sold The World"...It totally makes up for the fact that I never got to see them live...also, Green Day's "Bullet In A Bible" live CD is pretty cool...

I like "Master of Puppets" much more - whether it's metal, hard rock or whatever - it's just a better song. "One" is probably the best song on "Justice" but that's not saying much in my opinion - it's my least favorite Metallica album after "St. Anger."\n\nDave Mustaine was definitely in an early version of Metallica, but I think he and Kirk played together for a period. Check out the fantastic "Some Kind of Monster" documentary for more insight on that whole episode.

Frank Zappa always had the best drummers. I like Bozzio's taste in music better myself. Checkout "Polytown" with Mick Karn and David Torn. I think it's some of bozzio's best work. Bill Bruford's my favorite drummer.

Well it depends from what you think as "great".However I think that Jimmy Hendrix,Carlos Santana,Joe Satriani,Steve Vai,Unguie Malsteem,Malcom Young,Slash,Kirk Hammet are some quitarist that should not be ignored,each with his unique style...

Yes! I agree with you 100%! \n\n\nRIP Dimebag \n\n& rock on Syn!\n\nIf Dimebag was still alive, he and Syn could have made the most amazing music.

For sure. Love the "Hard Again" album, produced by the great Texas guitar legend, Johnny Winter. Most of muddy's stuff is great, but on that album, you can tell they're having a ton of fun, plus it rocks.

Yeah! Michael Romeo is phenomenal, I showed him to my dad once... But Symphony X is rapidly gaining popularity (for a prog metal band). But there is one guitarist I know of who is virtually unknown and can shred like there's no tomorrow. His name is Shane Gibson and you can find him on chopsfromhell.com

Yes! Just bought their new CD. It's good, but I recommend Tonight's Decision. If you like this band I recommend their best friends and one of the best bands in metal. OPETH

Me on both counts.  I play guitar, bass and a little drums.  In fact, the first song I learned to play all the way through on guitar was "Seek And Destroy" back in 1986 or so.  =)
