That is the link to a readers' top 20 greatest guitarists ever. Right now, their saying Matt Bellamy (Muse) is Number 1. I'm not complaining, I love muse but I would like to see what all of you see about this . Also, I reckon Slash and Jimi Hendrix should be in the top 3 without a doubt.

Matt Bellamy is good because he sings, plays guitar, and writes it all.

 

[[HoneyChicken]]

Yeah I'd agree. There isn't a single song by Muse that I don't like.

Map of the problematique is my favourite

Jerry Garcia

Though I'm more of a drum person.

Well no wonder he is number one, that link you have is to rate him a 10 automatically. A that top 20 list is rubbish. Neither Synster Gates or Zacky Vengeance on that list and they are both better than most.

Those two aren't that great, bro.

If you're going to make a list, you need to state what the list is specifically about.
Example, a list of the greatest influential guitarist
Greatest Technical Guitarist
etc

Matt Belamy is definitely not the best skill-wise guitar play out there.

 

[Bad_Dude]

Wow really, not that great. Better than half that top20. Heck I would even put Wes Borland as better than most on that list. Just my opinion. But what do I know I just play guitar also.

Slash, Jimi Hendrix. You aint know nuttin' 'bout dem!!!

 

[IrateDonnie]

Dimebag Darrel should have been on that list :cursing:

 

[Nokx]

Slash, Jimi Hendrix. You aint know nuttin' 'bout dem!!!

This guy rocked your thread.

 

[TremendousLion]

Slash is soooooo overrated.

 

[Passerby]

this list is flawed it is missing so many people it should have and how are they defining best

skills or influence

 

[-Fake]

I thought The Beatles were gonna be on the top of the list.

I love muse, I would have liked if metallica, disturbed, bullet for my valentine was in that list >.>
But I listen to everyone (almost) in that list.

This one might be on popularity?

 

[[HoneyChicken]]

I don't think this is on popularity, or it would've said so. As it's called "The Greatest Guitarist Ever", they're allowing people to vote in for all of the guitarists there on skill level or however you would like to put it

I clicked on the link wondering what place Matt Bellamy would be in. Well that answers that...

I couldn't have put it better than myself.

This guy doesn't play bad though.
