Who in your opinion is the greatest guitarist, either current or no longer with us???

I'll start off with either clapton or steve vai!

My original post was just to get people to decide who they thought the greatest guitarist was/is. As this is a very open subject, it could be because they are technically adept, or that they contribute to songs in a particular way, for example rythm guitarists whilst not as flashy as lead, provides the background for the lead guitarist to show off. Now using that analogy, then james hetfield,izzy stradlin and scott ian are all good examples of a great player, but if its showing off you like, then as has been posted steve vai,matt bellamy,zakk wylde and clapton are all good examples. Its entirely upto your individual taste!














P.S. forgot nono from french band trust, now he can play the guitar!

Good grief, tommy bolin??? Didnt he replace ritchie blackmore in deep purple( roundabout david coverdale and glenn hughes era) for a short period before sadly departing the world?
