Yes, this has drawn my attention to guitarists that I’ve overlooked or forgotten about!I think that was the OP's real intent and is what we have accomplished.

Yeah, for each guitar god I idolize, there are ten or more session musicians who I probably like even more! Thanks for sharing.Since nobody picked up on Andy Synowiec, here's a profile. Everyone's heard him, they just didn't know.
Talk about stylistic versatility.
For studio guitarists, it always pays to see who gets hired by Steely Dan, Paul Simon, and Joni Mitchell-Yeah, for each guitar god I idolize, there are ten or more session musicians who I probably like even more! Thanks for sharing.
Yeh the bald headed guy from Chickenfoot. Sorry for the spelling.Who is Santrini? Did you mean Joe Satriani?
See post #253https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/best-guitarists-evah.12273/post-1491545I searched, but did we get through all this thread without mentioning Matteo Mancuso? I know he's young, but...wow.
Unless I missed it, I haven't seen Duane Allman mentioned. Leaving out that he created a music genre (Southern Blues Rock) and was a great songwriter, he also was an innovative guitar stylist (e.g. slide guitar, improv). I still get shivers when I go back for an Allman Bros fix after a long hiatus and guitar work is at the center of it....Ok. So slightly going stir (bat s*it actually) crazy here in Malaysia. Listening to some of my fav albums, which sparked a search on " Best Guitarists Ever". Rolling Stone has several lists that seem slightly dubious to this old guy. Other sites actually have Slash and Willie Nelson in the mix, while ignoring Carlos (Santana for for the Luddites in the crowd). I thought it may be interesting (probably wrong) to see where ASR denizens stand. So, being new, ill informed here are MY top ten. Care to Contest???
1.0 Tie between Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix
3.0 Joe Satriani
4.0 Jeff Beck
5.0 Carlos Santana
6.0 David Gilmore
7.0 Keef (Keith Richards)
8.0 Jimmy Page
9.0 Stevie Ray Vaughn
10.0 Pete Townshend
I thought we had. His name isn't in the text, I guess that's why it didn't come up.
I may have missed it but Nuno Bettencourt should probably be on the list.
Here is a new song by Extreme with an awesome solo by Nuno!I may have missed it but Nuno Bettencourt should probably be on the list.
