    The question is , should I do it!?

    That's why I tried to find just a single photo... figured it would load easier.

    There were a lot of web cams and IPIX modules, would've taken a day to load...

    Glad they like my home! Glacier is beautiful on any given day...

    Forgot about Navarro... And Dave Mustaine (Metallica, then Megadeth). Dave Matthews. David Gray. Dave Lee Roth is supposedly playing a bit of guitar lately... probably not a "great", though...

    I'm smiling back, Bob!

    top ten in any order (rock/blues)

    1. mike mcready
    2. slash
    3. SRV
    4. johnny greenwood
    5. jimi hendrix
    6. gary moore
    7. tom morello
    8. stone gossard (any one thats writes the riffs that he has over the past 15 years deserves to go in!)
    9. mike einziger
    10. matt bellamy

    there are probably loads who are technically better than most of these but these play with taste, inovation and feel (unlike satriani, van halen, hammett etc)

    Eddie Van Halen played with a lot of passion and emotion back in the day... I hear you 200% on Satriani (his licks are damn near cold) but give VH a break.

    I always feel alittle uncomfortable when Iha is mentioned on a list and Corgan is not. Corgan did almost all the guitar parts on Siamese Dream. He wrote most of the music the pumpkins played. Iha just played alot of the leads live because Corgan couldnt because he ws singing. Albeit, Iha did have some great leads like Zero, and really cool instrumentals. I still have to give Corgan the edge

    the problem with van halen is mainly that his songs sucked. at the end of the day thats what the music is about, good songs, and the best guitarists enhance a song and take it to another level, or are great songwriters in their own right, i.e. stone gossard. however, van halens songs where awful and his band must have been one of the worst bands ever to feature such a great guitarist. maybe if he had actually been able to write good songs i might feel differently. but, hey, its all a matter of opinion anyway.

    I was about to say the same thing

    "I would add Taylor and James Iha."

    I couldn't put james iha on there knowing what an amazing guitarist corgan was. When his solo album comes it'll be great. But yah I am pretty sure Corgan was a much better guitarist and a perfectionist asshole muscian. Makes him better than most I would think.

    Am I the only one that thinks that Marilyn Mansons guitarist John5 is one of the most underated guitarists ever? He is one of my biggest influnces, next to Stoney and Jerry Cantrell. The guy isnt just all powerchords.
