I don't generally do top 10 lists, as many guitarists, including all those listed, are very good at what they do. But that said...

Pick up a copy of Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin and Paco Du Luco - Friday Night in San Francisco and listen to that, and then see if your list changes at all. And they do all that on acoustic guitars, which is even more amazing. This is an outstanding album of pure guitar music, by amazing guitarists. Have to look outside rock sometimes.



That and Passion Grace and Fire are both amazing albums. And their live show was maybe the best concert that I have ever attended. Of course, the best part was the opening act, none other than Mr. Steve Morse, who also joined on stage at the end and gave not one inch of ground to the other three. Flame suit doned.




No need for the flame suit! Each to their own, as they say! Personally, I'd rather stick pins in meself, but there you go!

At a Deep Purple forum can not avoid having

 1. Ritchie Blackmore
 2. Jimmy Page
 3. Rory Gallagher
 4. Jimi Hendrix
 5. David Gilmour

Nice list, Apostate emoticon

I would replace Malmsteen with Axel Rudi Pell.

Great list!

As far as Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin and Paco Du Luco...I liked the "One Night...", as well as other recordings by each performer, but I'm just not into the "jazzy" thing. Unless Deep Purple are doing it

Good point about DP and jazz. One thing I'm sorry they lost in the 1970s is the jazz(y) thing they had from 1969 to 1970. Okay, that still was in evidence during the instrumental section of CIT (check out Live in Denmark for example).

I like 'swinging', rhythm-orientated jazz. I don't like the 'cacaphonical, let's-make-it-as-complicated-as-possible' type of jazz. In relation to rock bands, that's the reason I never liked King Crimson. They have that kind of stuff going on all the time. It just gives me an headache.

The best I've ever heard him play was during the Journeyman tour, documented on the 24 Nights DVD and CD. Absolutely brilliant work.
