    Yes, he's not the most original ever as he only plays covers but for technical ability I believe he is definately up there with the greatest ever..

        I voted for Hendrix but I would have liked the chance to vote for Steve Howe

          the beauty of the instrument is of course that you don't need to have the technical ability. the skills of a vai or a malmsteen can be knocked into a cocked hat (albeit briefly) by someone with two chords an attitude.

            After his show at Ronnie Scott's (shown on BBC4 on Friday), definitely Jeff Beck.

              Damn, missed that. Looks like the performance is schedule to be released on CD next month.

              "Guitar Shop" is a classic IMHO.
              Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

                There's also John Williams who is one of today's top classical guitarists (or would be if he hasn't retired) and if you can watch him without being put off by his facial contortions there's Julian Bream (who also scores highly in my book because he's an expert lutenist).
                It's Deja-vu all over again!

                  Just to give an idea of what those who might be expected to know thought, the audience included Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, and Brian May among others.

                    Been listening to a lot of Andy McKee recently - this is worth checking out.

                      true, true. i have a soft spot for segovia because it was his playing that made me want to take up the instrument when i was a child: there was a documentory about him in the mid seventies that inspired me.

                      i was taught to play by a chap who was taught by john williams... mind you, i was only 10 and took barely a dozen lessons.
