You probably won't find an "official list" because most of it is a matter of opinion and of course I have one. This is a very short list and Not in any praticular order. Band is in parathesis: Eddie Van Halen (Van Halen), Slash(Gun's N Roses), Angus Young (AC DC), Ted Nugent (Ted Nugent), Randy Rhodes (Killed in plane crash while with Ozzy Osbourne.  Played lead guitar for album Blizzard of Oz with several hits including Crazy Train), Stevie Ray Vaughn (Blues guitarist killed in helicopter crash after concert in Wash. state), Eric Clapton (Eric Clapton), Tom Petty (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Jimmy Paige (Led Zeppelin), Keith Richards (Rolling Stones).  I'd say they'd be on anyone's top twenty list.  Hope it helps.

I loved them when Peter Frampton was with the group...and only then.  But, I am a huge Frampton fan.  Even today..I think he is one of the top 5 most talented guitar players alive.

You guys should learn some Stone Temple Pilots. It's good for guitarists to learn because the guitar in STP often goes from just simple power chords, to more complex chords. Theres also some solos. Me an my roomate have been playing a lot of STP together, he sings and I play guitar.

Jimi Hendrix.  This is because he opened up rock n' roll to what it is today!  Not only could he play fantastically, but he frequently thought outside the box and therefore brought many new styles and inventions to guitar players the world over.

Hmmm, this is a very good question. If I personally had to pinpoint one group in particular that should be recognised, it would be Linkin Park. They have jumped tremendous heights in a very short period of time, influenced alot of people with their lyrics, and are just downright good musicians. I owe them alot because their overall essence is absolutely amazing. It must be a pleasure to know them. I am honored that such young men like themselves are indeed worthy of my attention. They've gotten a bad rap at times, but I say that's crap. They deserve better.

Best guitarist ever is Jimi Hendrix.  He wrote the rule book on rock guitar and produced music that was years ahead of it's time.  Listen to 'Electric Ladyland' and tell yourself that this was recorded in 1968....

Paul Mesvidal (CYNIC, DEATH) Trey from MORBID ANGEL, Chuck from DEATH, Petrucci from DREAM THEATER, James Murphy (DEATH, OBITUARY, TESTAMENT)\n\nWell, these are my favorite guitarist, but that does not mean that they are the best ones. There is some crazy kids these days that are really pushing the limits.

Yes. As a musician who was influenced by them I had much respect for them. I own several George Harrison cd's and feel that he was totally underrated as a song writer and guitarist.

As lead guitarist in a church band, I was heavily influenced by Jimmy Page of Led Zep in my younger years. Isn't it amazing how God can take something worldly and turn it around for His glory? I even play a sunburst Les Paul in church through a tube amp. To God be the glory.
