Six Strings

Earlier while riding in "the limo" there was a discussion on who the best guitarist is. I believe that depends on a number of different factors. One could look at the what genera. One could look at musical theory or the technical. One could look at what time period. Typically its either most popular or personal favorite. I decided to list my favorite living guitarists (tried to include different genera's overall). They would be as follows in no particular order....



Neil Zaza/Rock
Ottmar Liebert/Flamenco
Gary Hoey/Rock
Govi/New Age
Edward Van Halen/Rock
Joe Satriani/Rock
Armik/New Age
Christopher Parkening/Classical
Eric Johnson/Rock
Eric Clapton/Blues

....would love to hear who's on your list.
