Synyster Gates - Avenged Sevenfold~ best and hottest mother fucker in the world

That's a pretty good one, but I think John Lennon is better. It's not that I know it for a fact, but I bet more people would think so just due to name recognition.

Ben Harper is definately better live.  Even if you don't like his songs on the radio-he is so much better live.  I seen them when the opened for Pearl Jam and they were amazing. Actually both bands were that nite.

Usually the original is the best but in this case i liked Clapton's version because he influenced me in playing guitar. "Sunshine of your Love" was one of the first two riffs I played on my very first guitar when I was 11 years old. The other riff would be "Smoke on the water". GnR is also ok because of Slash's rocking guitar version. Dylan usually mumbles his way through his songs.

Issac Albeniz is good. But try earlier Bach wrote some music for lute that was arranged for guitar. and some of his cello suite have been rearranged for guitar. I love Heitor villa Lobos( he was brazillian) as for guitarist I love John Williams he is really good and has a broad repertoire.Chrisotpher Parkening is Also good. The Assad Brothers are great. But i have a soft spot for the romeros. I got a chance to meet Pepe Romero who play the Rodrigo Concierto De Ajaunez the best! He actually Wworked with the composer! okay I could go on and on....

I like Sammy better. My reason is because his ego doesn't overpower the music.\nDavid Lee was good in his day but Sammy was way better. His tequila is awesome too.

not even close.\nseriously he's good don't get me wrong. but think of all the great guitarists that have come and gone.\nsome of the greatest guitar players were never even in rock bands, that chick that was on the surreal life, Charro? or somethin like that, she's probably one of the top 5 guitarists EVER. (i don't like her music but shes a hell of a guitarist) and people like Esteban? another great guitarist, who ever heard of him before his infomercials?\n\nthen you also got to factor in hendrix, jimmy paige, clapton, stevie ray vaughn? come on guys, actually think about this one.

I think this is a hard question but I am going to go with James Morrison, his album is flawless! If your into these guys then check out Paolo Nutini! His album is excellent! xx

Without a doubt, A7X. Lets see Billie Joe pull off a solo like Zacky Vengeance or Synyster Gates. How about the drumming? The Rev would pummel the Green Day loser to hell with his drumming ability. A7X's lyrics are also better. M Shadows voice is a step above Billie Joe's. There is no way Green Day could even compare to A7X. A band that actually plays their instruments with ferociuos talent, or a band that can only play power chords at a medium pace? That answer is obvious. Even the name is much better.

System. The guitarist is more innovative, and the singers are  much more accomplished, being trained in the art of opera and managing to bring into an alternative rock. Not to mention System is the only band to have ever produced 2 albums in one year that both hit #1 in the charts.

Children of Bodom have some good stuff. However, for me, the greatest is still Jimi Hendrix! And Alexi would probably agree!

really, it shouldn't matter what name is on the guitar, its what it sounds like, and how it plays that counts. gibson les paul is a good all around guitar, while fender, paul reed smith, gretsch and Rickenbaker all make excellent blues/slow rock guitars. If its hard rock/metal he likes than B.C rich, Ibanez, Jackson or ESP make a mean sounding guitar thats sure to please

Clapton all the way. He basically reinvented rock as we know it. From his power rock-esque songs like 'Sunshine of Your Love', to the deep and meaningful tones of the incredibly famous 'Layla', Clapton was, simply put, the greatest rock musician to ever live.

Preston Reed.\n\nHe's an awesome fingerstyle guitar player.  I recently saw him in concert and was blown away by his technique and style.  I bought two of his cd's on the spot and will absolutely see him in concert again the next time he's touring the States.\n\nhttp://www.prestonreed.com\n\nHere's some sample videos that you have to watch:\n(You may need to right-click and 'save target as', download it, then play it)\nhttp://homespun.powerusermedia.com/Homespun_Tapes/VD-PRE-PF01_Concert2.wmv\nhttp://homespun.powerusermedia.com/Homespun_Tapes/VD-PRE-GT01_Guitar2.wmv\n\nOther stuff:\nhttp://www.homespunvideo.com/prodpg/prodpg.asp?prodID=191&prodType=\nhttp://www.homespunvideo.com/prodpg/prodpg.asp?prodID=531&prodType=\n\nPart of some reviews:\n"Within 10 seconds of listening to him, you'll realize just how little innovation is on display by the McBands receiving heavy rotation on MTV or Your Local Alternative Radio Station. ... Reed is a treasure, an absolute must-listen for those even tangentially interested in acoustic guitar music, and a one-of-a-kind innovator who will change the way you approach the guitar in both your listening and your performing.

THE BEST IS SYD BARRETT who is known as the father of experimental music and psychodelic rock and roll\nAlso Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, and Duane Allman who may be the best slide guitarist in all time.I must mention also the Great Robert Johnson who is also called The Blues Man because some of his tones aren't disovered by no one.You can read  the legend for him and the Devil and their meeting at the "CROSSROAD"\nP.S: It's very funny that some people realy think that gunS and roses and some little bands like them do realy had a place in a music history

They are both really good singer/bands, but I would have to choose Shakira.
