My list of greatest guitar players of all time. Because there is no way to do this unless it's extremely biased, I'll just do it saying that these are MY favourite guitarists. I know how many should be on this list, but whatever.
10. Alexi LaihoBand: Children of BodomHighlight Song: Needled 24/79. Steve MorseBand: Solo & Deep PurpleHighlight Song: Tumeni Notes8. Jimmy PageBand: Led ZeppelinHighlight Song: Stairway to Heaven7.

Eddie Van HalenBand: Van HalenHighlight Song: Eruption3. Richie SamboraBand: Bon JoviHighlight Song: Dry County2. Herman LiBand: DragonforceHighlight Song: Fury of the Storm1.

You forgot greatest blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughn! Oh well.
OMG i saw a video with Herman Li in it
it was freakin crazyGood choices, but you missed some guys like Pete Townshend (The Who).
I only know 7,4,3,and 1. Probably heard all those bands though.
Most of this list is great, except Jimi. He's great, but a little overated I think.
Well, overrated or not, i would love to reach the proficiency of Jimi Hendrix', being able to play rhythm and lead guitar at the same time.
Yeah, he's still great.
Look I'm a huge Nirvana fan but Kurt Cobain should not be on the list of "Greatest Guitarists ".
^Tushe. Thing is though, the dead are more likely to be honored.
