Greatest guitar player of all time!
Storm Rider:
--- Quote from: KharBevNor ---
They did a version of Aces High for one of the 'Tribute to the Beast' albums.

Yeah, it was Volume 2, right? I'll definitely go back and give it another listen.
I really cannot get over how badly Iced Earth butchered Hallowed Be Thy Name on that album, though.
La Creme:
@people who vote clapton: I'm sorry I pulled him off. I know a lot of people like him, but I'm really not that big of a fan. I was really biased here, and I'm sorry.
@Signum_Tenebrae: I only put Yngwie instead of Romeo because not many people know who he his. Seriously, the live cut of "On The Breath Of Poseidon" is the best thrash solo ever.
@other stuff:
* Stevie Ray Vaughan was especially painful for me to pull off the list.
* I am very saddened by the fact that nobody has put a vote in for Pass yet. Seriously, he is maybe the best jazz guitarist ever. Joe Diorio is pretty ace too.
* By best I mean a guitarist with a definitive style, good sound, good technique, songwriting ability, and a reputation as a guitar god.
* Also, while David Gilmoure is a pretty incredibly songwriter, if you want tone and intelligent chord placement, check out Wes Montgomery.
Merkava:
I can't believe I forgot B.B. King. That guy is a god. I've grown to like him much more recently, since his bluesy style really sounds fresh after countless rock riffs and solos.
I also think solos are very overrated. They don't do much for me, though there have been some band that pull it off to my liking.
SO FUCKING TIRED OF JIMMY PAGE.
est:
i am not voting, because i do not know all that much about guitarists. however, i have heard that Billy Gibbons (the guitarist from ZZ Top) has unexpectedly good tone & gets much respect from other guitarists for it, regardless of his otherwise mostly boring compositions.
La Creme:
Yeah, Billy Gibbons is pretty good. If you want a model for rock soloing and hard-ass chord smashing when you're learning, he's probably the best one there is.
