1/ Hendrix 2/ Randy Rhoads 3/ Ritchie Blackmore 4/ Eddie Van Halen and Jimmy Page is also quite good By the way, very long time ago I heard rumours that Page failed an audition for Mercyful Fate, and he was told he is not enough technically skilled to play for them there. Don't know if it's true...

Yeah, but this is purposely a non-prog poll, as per the title. Which is why it's perplexing, because it's in "Prog Polls." That totally makes sense. EDIT: No, it's not in prog polls. My sarcasm is on nothing, here. My apologies. |

People might kill me for saying this but I find about 99.9% of Jimmy Pages Guitar solos to be absolutely hideous, the melodies, the tone, the technique. There were a few good ones though. but luckily for him all of his riffs are absolutely amazing my favorite would have to be the Ocean. Oh and I chose other because I would probably have to say steve vai or Marty Friedman or Possibly even Peter Frampton

I vote Phil Keaggy too. A lot of you probably don't know Keaggy or the little band 'Glass Harp', but he is VERY good. Listen to a song or two from his solo stuff. I think you'll be impressed. http://www.myspace.com/philkeaggymusic - http://www.myspace.com/philkeaggymusic It was also reported that when asked how it felt to be the best guitarist in the world, Clapton said "I don't know, why don't you go ask Phil Keaggy." But that's urban legend.  -------------
