Greatest guitar player of all time!

--- Quote from: 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.

Some legendary guitarist cites him as a major influence. Can't remember which one for the life of me.
Storm Rider:
--- Quote from: La Creme ---
* By best I mean a guitarist with a definitive style, good sound, good technique, songwriting ability, and a reputation as a guitar god.

Then Joe Satriani should have been in there over Malmsteen, because Malmsteen's songwriting is TERRIBLE. I wouldn't say he has much of a 'definitive style', either.

Yngwie Malmsteen is a ridiculously talented guitar player, I've heard some of his Van Halen tribute songs and holy shit! It's like one solid note that just chnges tone, but if you listen really carefully, you can hear the extremely fast paced clicks of his pick against the guitar strings.
La Creme:
But Storm Rider is right, Yngwie is not a very inventive man. He is the technical thrash master, but that's it. He's a one man thrash-fest. He doesn't really work in bands, and he sure as hell doesn't write good original material. But seriously, he can thrash the shit out of Satriani, Vai, or Petrucci any day.

I'm not going to argue that Malmsteen isn't talented, because he is, almost unbelievably so. But Satriani's songwriting is consistently superior, he has technical skills many guitarists would kill for, and his sound is definitely unique. I'm starting to regret that I hadn't voted for Other, now.
