Eddie Van Halen / Van Halen
Jimmy Page / Led Zeppelin
BB King
Stevie Ray Vaughan /Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble
Jimi Hendrix
Eric Clapton / Cream
Pete Townshend / The Who
Slash / Guns n' Roses
Angus Young / AC/DC
Carlos Santana / Santana
Who you think is the Guitar Godand why.
I love all of the guitarists listed in the poll, but if I had to pick just one, I'd go with Jimmy Page. The man is a virtuoso with a guitar in his hands. A combination of speed, flexiblity, performance, accuracy, and just plain great playing is what propelled Page and the rest of Led Zeppelin to the top as being hailed as "The Greatest Band Ever."
Second runner up would go to Eddie Van Halen. Self-taught, he is the master of techniques such as pick scratching, two-hand tappings, and the ever impressive "Drill Technique."
