There are easily 20 guitarists who I think are the greatest of all time so I could not pick "The Best" but It would be Stevie Ray, or Yngwie, or Tipton and Downing, or Murray and Smith, or EVH, or Morse, or Eric Johnson, or Vai, or George Lynch, or Menniketti, or Iommi, or Blackmore, or Marty Freidman, or Jimmi, or...so many, but I leave you with another lost too young- Randy Rhodes
