Favorite to play the guitar

Ladies? - Orianthi.

Undeniably smokes () the competition past and present based on raw talent.

This guy needs to be at the top of everybody's list!

I bet I have listened to thousands of hours of Pumpkins, great band. I think the real guitar lifting in that group is from James Iha (who is awesome). Billy Corgan is a good writer but mainly a power chord player in my opinions.

Uh uh. Corgan was the lead guitar. Iha was the rhythm guitarist - he is a good guitarist but all that shredding and the writing was all Corgan. He was/is easily the best guitarist of the 90s rockers.

Samantha Fish.

While everyone is trying to be clever and pick out the obscure, overlooking Glenn Campbell is criminal…

Does the thread title not connote subjectivity?

 

[BigHornRam]

I challenge @mtmuley to listen to this guitar solo in the middle of this song, and leave this guy off his list.

Who needs a pick when you got a thumb?

Are you serious?! My mind is blown.

I feel like a dope here, but I just didn’t think it was possible for BC to write, sing AND play lead for that group. That is unreal.

Entwistle one of the best, just stayed in the back and played like crazy while everyone else was doing stage stuff along with their playing

Several years back my wife drug me to a Kenny Chesney Concert. This guy opened for him. I remember thinking man that guy can play the guitar. Skip to his solo that starts at about 4 minutes and really gets going a minute or so after.

That's how I know you and I are of similar vintage, and listen mostly to the classic rock statons, Dave.
I know of all the guys on your list.

Dan Huff is another one. Absolute animal on the guitar

As a kid I remembered him from the country comedy show Hee Haw , wasn’t till a few years ago , I came to realize he’s legendary on a guitar
