Yet another poll that can't cope with Allan Holdsworth - ergo another irrelevant poll

Prog Guitarists:

  • Steve Howe
  • Steve Hackett
  • Robert Fripp
  • David Gilmour

Non Prog Guitarists:

  • Jimi Hendrix
  • Jimmy Page
  • Jeff Beck
  • Eric Clapton

(I guess Eric Clapton can be classed as Prog when he played in Cream)

Ron Jarz of Spastic Ink is a VERY good guitarist, plus his compositions are really original.

I'm quite amazed... A poll with Vai, Satriani and Malmsteen ( to the latter), but without the one and only Ritchie "The Man in Black" Blackmore?

Thing about this Prog forum

Too many stupid non prog mentions floating.



Best guitarist in Prog - MJ Romeo
Greatest guitarist in Prog - Alex Lifeson

Romeo makes my jaw hit the ground, but when I first saw Big Al live I was in shock.  I was thinking 'how can he be so perfectly precise?'.  Criminally underrated, because he is a master in the art of understatement and he doesn't have a massive ego.

Couldn't agree more, once saw a live Malmsteen concert tape where the big attraction presumably was the 10 minute clip of him stepping on his guitar & "playing it with his feet", what I primarily heard was a bunch of feedback. This guy also needs to take some lessons in what to NOT play to give the notes some space & context...A little feeling & soul wouldn't hurt either...
 
I don't consider Satriani or Vai to be "prog" players, but I'm not sure that the intent of this poll was to discuss the best prog guitarists vs the best guitarists in general. Either way, neither of them would make my short list:
 
Prog (& Fusion):
 
John McLaughlin
Steve Morse
Al DiMeola
Roine Stolt
Jeff Beck
 
Non-Prog:
 
Gary Moore
Richard Thompson
Jimi Hendrix
Paco DeLucia
Stanley Jordan
Doc Watson
Leo Kottke
Michael Hedges
