Ingva Malmstien.. I know I did not spell that right.

Eric Clapton, Eric Clapton, Eric Clapton, Eric Clapton, Eric Clapton. Guess who likes/loves Clapton?? (I'm exercising my typing skills!)

NOT TO SAY I KNOW ANY THING OTHER THAN WHAT I LIKE BUT IF YOU LIKE GREAT PLAYING CHECK OUT SOME SEVETIES RUSH ALEX MAKES IT SCREAM OR SOMETHING TRUELY DIFF. JUNIOR BROWN THE INVENTOR OF THE GUITSTEEL WILL AMAZE

Depends on the style of guitar playing. Spanish Guitar= Al Dimeola, Country Blues= Junior Brown, Chicago Blues= Buddy Guy, Rockin Blues= Stevie Ray Vaughn, Psychelic= Jimi Hendrix, Country Rock= Toy Caldwell, Hard Rock= Eddie Van Halen, Cleanest (no squeaks, or buzzes)= Carlos Santana or Phil Kitze,
Widest Range= Hughie Thomasson.

Jimmy Page imo

When Johnny Carson asked Jimi Hendrix how does it feel to be the greatest guitar player, hi answer was "You better ask Phil Keaggy". True story and I'd have to agree.

I also think that Joe Bonamassa is one of the finest active guitar players

Chet Atkins.

umm, me obviously :P

Kirk Leorange

This is possibly the hardest if not an impossible question to answer.What do you mean by the best?.that could mean totally different things to different people.I can't give you one player above the rest.After 23 years love of music n playing guitar i know there isnt a best,so i'm just tell who i rate.lol.First off Jimmy Page,Jimi Hendrix,Angus Young,Ritchie Blackmore for starters,Rory Gallagher,Gary Moore,Stevie Ray too.Kirk Hammett is fantastic,Eddie VH,Yngwie Malmsteen are technical wizards.Clapton is good but to my mind not a patch on Peter Green now there was someone special his phrasing and expression was wonderful,,i adore Bert Jansch listen to Reynardine,incredible.Also Davy ........ forgotten his surname,I'm ashamed to say.He was another folk guitar pioneer n viruoso,its his arrangement of White Summer that Jimmy Page plays almost note for note,,sure one of you knows who i mean !!

Roger Waters of Pink Floyd is also one of the best

NO MENTION OF STEVIE RAY VAUGHN/JIMMIE HENDRIXX

Slash, Page, May, all brill. Hendrix is supposed to be greatest of all time but as a guitar player myself i know how easy it is to sound like Hendrix just by adding loadsa gain, loadsa distortion and loadsa whatever other effecs you wanna chuck in. Hendrix is MEGA over-rated. and why the hell he changed the strings round on a right handed strat so he could play it left handed defies any logic.

Carlos Santana

A tie between Roy Clark and Chet Atkins

Roy Clark. Chet Atkins a lot of people would say

Chet Atkins For sure...

Brian Hawk!! You are a @star@

mmmmmmmmmmmmm

EDDY VAN HALEN MUDDY WATER

Prince is the best Guitarist every to play

all afore mentioned are great...but have any of you heard of a litttle guy named satriani? amazing

Slash - Guns-N-Roses

The three I would have to pick: [No paricular order] Eric 'Slowhand' Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, and
Stevie Ray Vaughn who was taken from us to soon, age 35. In Stevie's last performance, Clapton, Robert Cray, Buddy Guy, B.B. King were completely dumbfounded with what they heard. Then he boards that helicopter and God called him home. I'd like to think Stevie and Jimi are up there playin' together.

Andres Segovia

i would pick amazing rory gallagher who stood different and unique playing rock blues

Rory Gallagher, without a shdow of a doubt.

EDDY VAN HALEN
