I voted for Howe, but if I could have, I would've also chosen Alex Lifeson and David Gilmour.

*sigh*

I'd say Fripp from this selection.

In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

Phil Miller for me, gotta love that guitar work on 'Mumps'. Close behind are Steve Hackett and Jan Akkerman.

Best as in personal preference?  Most of  my choices are absent:

1. Steve Rothery
2. Nick Barrett
3. Steve Hackett
4. David Gilmour
5. Andy Latimer

Best in terms of technical skill? I dunno:

1. Steve Vai
2. Michael Romeo
3. Kiko Loureiro
4. John Petrucci
5. Steve Morse

I'm not sure.

Quit cryin about Petrucci not being on here, he's a boring shredder.

 
 Yes I agree, but when he doesn't shred he's brilliant.

From that list, i think Frank Zappa is way above the others, at least in compositional skills, my second choice would be Howe, but they are all great guitar players (except John Cale, i don't know this guy, and Adam Jones).

In first place welcome.

Now to the point, no we're not bickering as spoilled kids, there must be 300 best guitar players polls here, so it's easier to search for one of them and vote there.

If not, at least include the main guitar players from any previous poll.
