Who's your favorite guitarist? POLL (caps)

For anyone else i might have left out, i deeply apologize.

I boycott this poll due to its conspicuous lack of Spencer Seim, not that I think he's better than Carlos Santana or Jimi Hendrix, but he definitely deserves honourable mention.

 Jari Mäenpää

Jimmy Page. Thinking of the guitar solo in Stiarway makes me giddy merely thinking about it.

J. for Jimi. Always been a fan, plus we share the same birthday :)

Angus. The things he can do with that pentatonic scale is amazing. 
 
I would also like to mention George Harrison, the guitarist of the Beatles. His work might not be that technical, but it always fits perfectly to the song. 
 
Also, no Eric Clapton or Mark Knopfler? I would think that many regard them as the best. 
 
Edit: Oh, Ritchie Blackmore from Deep Purple is also one of my top ten guitarists.

By the way, how could you not put an other option on that poll??

Jimi Hendrix but I am very surprised you don't have Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler or Duane Allman. But a poll will never cover it all.

Mikael Åkerfeldt from Opeth. He's such a great guitarist, and he's an even better vocalist.

...Where's the other option?

Dimebag

David Gilmour.

You've got some great guitarists on there but this shouldn't have been a poll; there's too many great guitarists missing. Plus it's hard to pick just one
 
Jason Becker is probably my favourite guitarists and I feel he is under appreciated so:
 
 

Definitely Buckethead. The guy can riff.

Jason Becker.

 Peter Wichers    

Morello. I quite like his experimental playing methods.

I knew i forgot many critical guitarists, its so hard to list them all. remember, there is no bias at all. i just forgot :)

No Clapton?
Hmmm....I'll go with Angus then.

No Jeff Beck?  No Frank Zappa?  I voted for "Santania" out of protest, his sparkling wine will make a blind man sing.

" Morello. I quite like his experimental playing methods. "

I chose Joe Satriani but only because you didn't list Jeff Beck as an option. Everyone on the list is amazing though and I prefer one to another depending on the mood.

Andre Olbrich from my favorite band of all time, Blind Guardian. He's a gamer too.

All of the above. 
Besides Buckethead.. I like my Guitarists with Talent instead of just making random and annoying sounds with their instruments thankyouverymuch

Other.

He usually doesn't come to anyones mind but Alex Lifeson of Rush. Probably the most underrated guitarist IMO.

GG Jimmy Page

Jimmy Page!  Although I like most of them.

I refuse to vote for anyone who isn't Frank Zappa. 
 
Oh alright then I choose Hendrix.

Josh Homme

No Frusciante or Bellamy? 
 
awwwwww

I'm really not a big fan of any of those guitarist, but I voted for Les Paul because the dude is a fucking legend. RIP.

i like christofer johnsson

I don't have one. I enjoy the music so many guitarists produce that it would be impossible for me to decide one favorite.

Hard question... I do love Satriani though... no! Jimmy Page... no! Jimi Hendrix... no! Alex Lifeson... oh alright I'll go with Satriani.

Albert Hammond Jr. and Nick Valensi.   

Lol "Santania", sounds like some 80's devil worshiping band.

" He usually doesn't come to anyones mind but Alex Lifeson of Rush. Probably the most underrated guitarist IMO. "

Hendrix, I'm not saying he had the best technical ability but he just inspires me with his experimentation.

Kurt Ballou.

Jimi Hendrix 

Just for putting Buckethead on the list I love you, and of course he is my favorite.

buddy guy or clarence gatemouth brown probably
