You know... Old Stevie was better when he wore the Black hat for the first two records... Than he was when he went to the white hat with the Giant Feather.... Change my mind...

White hat Stevie was deep in his addiction. Soul to Soul days.

Incredible talent, taken way too young. Sky was the limit, one of my favorites.

M&M,

Best at what exactly? You know I get hooked on the music discussion.

As far as guitar and musical talent Prince is hard to beat, not really a fan, but the guy was gifted. I believe he could play 27 instruments. He also wrote songs for other artists.

Many people believe Jimi Hendrix was the best guitarist of all time. He also sang and wrote music.

Elvis has the hearts of many Baby Boomers.

Honorable mention to Bob Marley.

John Lennon was one of the most famous guitarist/songwriters ever.

Rolling Stone Magazine has Bob Dylan as the best song writer ever.

Kirk Hammett from Metallica is no slouch either.

My personal favorite is Kurt Cobain, no one made punk more powerful.

Define your terms. Greatest at guitar?

Define your terms. Greatest at guitar?

Satriani is great! He taught Kirk Hammett how to play, as well as many others.
for a little newer guy I like

 

[zeetes]

goat at what? marbles? is he even top ten guitarists?

 

[tomwaits]

Robert Johnson?

 

[SaintJ]

GOAT among the living? Billy Gibbons.

Those who have passed? Duane Allman.

And while I like the Top and the Allman Brothers, it's not that I'm particularly a Southern/blues rock/roots rock guy. I just think these are the two best. I do know this -- Eric Clapton brought Duane in to play slide. And Jimi had Billy open for him on tour.

JMHO.

Stevie was great saw him many times.

The favorite one was at the zoo. Greg Allman was supposed to go first guess he was too loaded to play. I guess it was 86 or so.

Now this is my favorite solo. Only one Frank. That is the one I really wish I got to see play.
