Description

These guys tie for spot number 4 of my top 5 favorite guitarists. Steve Hackett, Steve Howe and John Mclaughlin take spots 1,2 and 3. Robert Fripp makes number 5. And if it matters, spots 6-10 are filled with Allan Holdsworth, Steve Vai, Jannick Gers(third gtr in Maiden), Steve Morse, and Steve Hillage. What's with all the great guitarists with the name Steve. Though I'm not a Billy Idol fan his excellent guitarist was Steve Stevens. Odd.

You're not a Billy Idol Fan??? He Rocks, what's up with that? lol... you don't like Flesh for Fantasy??? lol I don't know how to play the Guitar, so, I don't compare by the "play" - I have no experience... so, I rely on "the Sound".... As a group of Guitarists, Def Leppard is my fave.... then the next two guitarist would have to be Eddie Van Halen and Jimmy Page.... I love Billy Idol's music.... I love the guitar sound on Dirty Diana - Michael Jackson.... I love the Stones, so, I gotta love Keith Richards.... but my Music catalog is not caged, I love John Denver and Garth Brooks just to mention a few.... Jim Croche....

Don't forget Stevie Ray ;) That is sort of strange, isn't it. I'm with mikererson, I like Billy Idol too and Steve Stevens is another guitar great. His segue into the fast part of "Eyes Without A Face" is amazing. Great pic!

One legendary name you missed...The late and short brilliance of one Randy Rhodes....To think if he had lived what category would other fellow guitarists have had placed him along side of?....And one other guitar God that most have emulated to date and that's without doubt one Eddie Van Halen...Got to give the man his recognition as it was he that set the standards for those that later picked up a guitar...(smiles)... And I'm not taking anything away and I do compliment the names above that you had mentioned as they too are all highly respected musicians in there own rights....
