I remember voting for Howe, but however Hackett is a tad bit better due to his solo career.

Howe because of his innovative approaches, melody, technical skill, and wide use of stringed instruments, especially steel guitar. However, I really like Hackett as well.

Howe might be the more dexturous of the two, but Hackett is my favorite guitarist period....

I think Howe is technicaly better but Hackett is a real melody master. I don't know...
Anyway I prefer Genesis to yes but this is mainly becouse of Gabriel AND Banks.

I prefer Genesis to Yes and have only heard their debut solo albums, which favours Hackett, but I prefer Howe overall instead.

Sadly we all can remember GTR, simply horrible.

Howe knows more than Hackett when it comes to theory and technicality.
Howe is "technically" a better player than Hackett but I love the atmosphere
and melody that Hackett creates. Hackett knows how to restrain himself
whereas Howe plays very fast and can't always control his speed.

One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

Haven't you guys heard the beginning of Close to the Edge??? Hehehe. Both are great but I think Howe is just as emotional and more skilled than Hackett. Plus I owe a lot of my own playing style to Steve Howe.

No guitarist brings me to tears like the wonderfully emotive Steve Hackett.I'll take emotion over technique any day.

Both are very skilled, but Hackett's atmospheres were simply unique and his solo career is absolutely superior to Howe's.
SO.........STEVE HACKETT

Two genious.
Both are acoustic guitar monsters in different styles hackett is more flamenco oriented and Howe more classical and sometimes country-folk.
If we talk about electric guitar:
Howe is technically better than Hackett, cleaner, faster, etc... but again "the feeling"....... Hackett just make me cry.... what about Supper´s ready final licks and the musical box guitar solo etc.
My vote goes to Mr.Hackett
