Both Gilmour and Brian may contribute some great playing on Paul Rodger's "Muddy Water Blues" album that also features jason bonham, trevor rabin, brian setzer, steve miller, jeff beck, slash, neal schon, gary moore, and richie sambora.

Buddy Guy adds an acoustic song for good measure.

Amazing blues album.

 This guy did hammerons,tapeloops and most of the early electronic effects.


  Arrogant as he is,he's still my alltime fav. I saw him in 74 with David Cross on violin and Buford on drums.... :O


   2 months later I saw Floyd,they'd just released darkside and while Gilmore is great you cant compare,its a different take on the instrument,Eddie is pretty good but Roth just spoiled the whole group IMHO.


   Chet Atkins and a host of blues players all deserve to be mentioned as well!

I think Joe Bonamassa should at least be in the conversation of great blues/rock guitarists currently active and recording.

If we're expanding the list to include past and present then I've always been impressed with Rory Gallagher.


First time I heard this song, my sales manager was in town for a big event we were throwing at one of our branches we all arrived early, around 7:00am to get set up and he pulls me inside and we go into the demo room and we listened to this song on a pair of Martin Logan electrostats with the volume on the receiver buried at 11 and I was blown away.

The fact that the average G3 concert (satriani, vai + special guest) contains no less than 4 Hendrix songs tells me that picking Hendrix is an almost guarantee to be correct.

What people overlook is that Jimi was far more than just a guitarist as his vocal phrasing and lyricism was nothing short of genius.

Funny thing about Ralph Macchio is that he probably influenced nearly as many kids to pick up the guitar as the greats.

Jimi is a given.   By the thread title I took it as "Greatest alive".

Thing is, there is no specific set of guidelines.  If you want raw ability to play, then it has to be EVH, Vai, and Satriani.  If you want pioneering sounds, then Hendrix, Paige, and EVH.  If you want the music writing ability then Gilmour, Paige, Rothery (of Marillion), EVH (yes, again), and Clapton.

There are many great guitar players.  But if you want an all inclusive list, I believe EVH is at the top.  Who has done what he has all across the board?
