Okay, anyone who got at least two mentions (or votes) in the other thread has been nominated. Vote for the one guitarist you believe is the single greatest axeman in rock history. You all should like this list better.
Dick Dale - he is greatness inc.
Amen! He's also the only one on the list I've seen live.
Of that list, I've seen nine perform live. Eh. Only Randy Rhoads caused my jaw to drop.
Thank God somebody else mentioned Fripp in the original thread. I'm glad to see he made it. King Crimson is Robert Fripp. I chose him...even though there are others I like more. I think he's extraordinary...a guitar genius.
No no no. It has to be Yngwie Malmstein. Simply amazing
Yowzah. I wonder if he can actually hold a single note for more than a millisecond...But he has no soul.
