This has probably been done about 1,000,000 times before but after recently seeing Steve Vai. I have developed an interest in guitarists, so who would you say were the 10 best guitarists. Here's my picks:
1) RANDY RHOADS - Nobody else understood music the way he did. He interpreted it far better than anyone else and his Neo Classical style was unique and innovative. The only criticism of this man is that he doesn't have the technical prowess of someone like Steve Vai.
2) STEVE VAI - Technically perfect. His music is more than just shredding, he can make beautiful sounds, write innovative/clever music while showing his range and versdatility with the guitar.
3) MICHAEL ANGELO BATIO
4) JOHN PETRUCCI
5) YNGWIE MALMSTEEN
6) JOE SATRIANI
7) STEVE MORSE
8) KIRK HAMMETT
9) RICHIE BLACKMORE
10) JIMMY PAGE
Now your list. Let's discuss.
