It's a bit like "who's the best QB ever" because some are great technical players, some are great composers or just have a way with their phrasing. If we are talking about greatest living players: clapton obviously. mayer jack white the edge jonny greenwood mike mccready johnny marr joe bonamassa jonny lang And these are only guys from genres and acts that I appreciate, I'm sure there are plenty of others who play in the metal world who are just as set apart from their peers, but don't play in a style that does anything for me. |

Honestly, the only thing I know about him is his name and his rep.
His name just screamed out technical guitarsturbator and I never sought him out. I'm sure it's my loss. And again, 5 names, top of head, 3am, insomnia.

Takes something special to tackle something that EVERYONE already knows and adores and pump it out so everyone says 'Oh, it could be THAT good?'

No biggy just a friendly ribbing, but I do think any conversation about top guitarists should include his name.

Yngwie is one of those people who's more appreciated in other parts of the world, I think. I don't know if anyone can play faster than him for sure. Technical skill, he would rank right up there.
I can't believe I forgot to mention Eric Johnson, either, but he should be on the "greatest living" list. |

I kind of feel that way with respect to Yngwie. Speed impresses other musicians but the general public just wants to hear nice phrasing.

Here’s an off the wall one for you. He gets over looked quite a bit I think because of the genre he mostly played but my Dad helped me grow an appreciation for Roy Clark.
