Best Guitarist Ever
 

Who's it going to be?

I nominate....

Yngwie Malmsteen. My god he's good :smt035

Edit. Just to clarify this bit most of you missed!:
(I want to mention too many other guitarists as a follow up. But that's against the rules of this thread. You can only name one!)

Hendrix, if he can play that good whilst that stoned he must be god.

The rest are technically good, Clapton etc but I rank Hendrix #1, playing other peoples songs, for writing + playing it must be Clapton.
