Chet. Beck and Belew are cool, but Chet's additions to guitar technique are a little more impressive.

I think you're right, although to be honest, I hadn't heard of Roman Bunka before. Confused

Once described by John Peel as the "new Hendrix"; Adamson was certainly an absolute genius at his craft.
I was a big fan of The Skids too once upon a time, although I haven't listened to them in a long long time, until now that is. Smile
 


Adamson's virtuosity is better represented here in the track Devil's Decade from the Bill Nelson produced masterpiece album The Absolute Game....please listen to the whole track

Roman Bunka is the guitar player of the German band Embryo and definitely my favorite rock guitarist. the solo in the "blues section" of this track is my favorite rock guitar solo of all times:


some other great solos of him:




and here some live footage of him:



the best rock guitarist no-one knows. Friede and I have tried to propagate him on this site, but apparently unsuccessfully

Very difficult poll.

I'm giving this to Ritchie Blackmore though. He certainly was a cutting edge guitarist in hard rock era (between Cream and Van Halen) with a bag of terrific riffs, guns blazing solos, HUGE kinetic force, slashing/lacerating guitar tone (on a Gibson ES-335 and a f***kin Strat!!!), blending classical with blues rock in a very good taste... mammoth influence on hard rock, heavy, power or even thrash metal... and then he reinvented himself and went Renaissance, with much success!

Other reasons
- my very first guitar idol, you can't buy that
- legendary persona, epitome of 70s rock star
- always had it his way

Jeff Beck deserves all respect, especially on a good day... but he wasn't that consistent and he had troubles with songwriting.

Ritchie Blackmore's "Smoke on the Water" riff was the first riff I ever learned to play on my electric guitar, along with just about everyone else who's ever picked up an electric guitar. Smile

Above and Belew - Jeff Beck is currently above on 10 votes and Ritchie Blackmore is below in third place on 8 votes. Confused
