Re: cheers Rhubarb
Us punters should know better than to judge
By all means nominate
Can't say I've heard of John Miles(maybe) or Hank Marvin but then as I don't play guitar its probably know surprise
I might have heard Michael Schenker in the Scorpions...Speedys Coming maybe.....definitelnot Sails of Charon...my fave 'DARK' scorpions song
Really unless you are in the industry you wouldn't know
Eric Clapton watching Jimm Hendrix and saying afterwards that he's the guv
is a load of bollocks in my books
Electric guitar maybe but the guitar is so much more
Friends of mine who were at a Don McClean(Bye Bye American Pie) many yers ago said he was onstage for 2 hours and his voice along with his guitar playing was like listening to perfection.
He was an artist-guitarists come in all shapes and forms and don't have to be loud or heavy to be worth a listen IMO

Re: Best guitarist
i still maintain that technicality is only one aspect of being a guitarist ...from the songwriting perspective (talking about rock) then riffs and lines are far more important and thus the best "guitarists" in that sense are the best "songwriters"....usually goes hand in hand....
