I've heard some of Hendrix's stuff. I really want to hear more though.

 

[Tgunz262]

I've got just about all of Hendrix's stuff and want more.

 

[member006]

Hendrix will always top my list, second to me and not one of your choices is Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Seems the good do die young.

[Mr. Daystar]

Hendrix, Page, Clapton, Townshend, Howe, Vaughan, Allman, Fripp. All are innovators, and have influenced the masses. But there are many...MANY more that are great...but these are who I think helped shape a lot of young musicians.

 

[Beliel]

Fripp..Robet Fripp.

 

[Civickiller80]

Brian May and Eric Clapton...

Somewhere we're going to have to find a place for Elmore James.
And has anyone mentioned Eddie Van Halen?

5. Johnny Greenwood
4. Jeff Beck
3. George Harrison
2. Jack White
1. The Edge

Do I think the Edge is the most technically competant guitarist ever? no. I think that his style has been imitated so often (moreso in the 80s), and that he constantly inovates and reinvents his style (93 - Dance, 00- Anthemic, 04- Garage rock) to fit all trends. He may not be the greatest mover aroung a fretboard, but he is most assuredly worthy of a place on the list.
