comming from a guitar player..all of the names mentioned are amazing. and yeah buckethead is deff awesome. he's the next hendrix in my opinion. and by that i mean re-inventing guitar playing. i cant honestly say that i have one guitar player on my mind who is the best..there are so many. i dont think there is just one. you should take a listen to all of them..they all have amazing points about them.

He is incredible. For me, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Muhhammed of Necriphagsist, and Herman Li of Dragon Force are the best.

Buckethead is crazy, if you look up some videos of him, he shows how to do some 4 finger tapping, which is insane, and he goes insane in Welcome to Buckethead Land. But he is kinda weird when he uses his puppet to talk for him in interviews.

All of the guitarists mentioned above... magnificent. There are too many great guitarist to choose from so I'm gonna mention a newer guitarist with plenty of potential and thats Synyster Gates of Avenged Sevenfold.

Pretty surprised nobody has mentioned Tony Iommi, Michael Angelo Batio, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Satriani, John Petrucci, Timo Tolkki, Michael Romeo, Jimmy Page, Glen Buxton, Michael Bruce, or pretty much any of the big guys. A pretty shameful guitar topic since most of the people mentioned are overrated, or not even really virtuosos.

DAMN!!! Why hasn't anybody mentioned "Prince". Okay, he might not be "The End-All, Be-All of Guitar Gods & Greats", but his passion, alone?!? Come on, you guys! "Prince" is the man!

Some of those guys were mentioned. Chris Broderick is amazing as well.
