They may not all say Nels, but I bet they won't say SRV.( I think he is great but he gets beat uo around here) It is also an imposssible question to answer? You could narrow it down some might help. ie best blues G/ best living/ best wilco/ best left handed etc. but just for fun I'll throw in my current top five

Grant Green

Jerry G.

Brian May

Mark Knopfler

Jimi

:cheers

did he join MM or something? Isn't Johnny Marr the Smiths old guitarist?

 

Yes he was and now is in Modest Mouse. He was helping them in the studio and planned to tour with them since MM's guitarist left the band. Then they just decided that it would be awesome if he was a full time member. I didn't get "Good news..." but I will definitely be getting this one.

i didn't much like good news. but i'm REALLY excited about this album. just the concept of having the guitarist from one of my favorite bands in another of my favorite bands is mindblowing.

Hendrix is without a doubt the greatest "rock" guitarist of all time.

 

For me, that title goes to Robbie Robertson.

 

other favorites:

 

Curtis Mayfield

Steve Cropper

Kenny Burrell (just discovered him)

Robert Buck
