I know I have said it's impossible to say who's the best...and it is and many of you have posted videos of many good guitar players
I have had the good fortune of seeing many great guitar players live from Jimmy Page , Pete Townsend , David Gilmour to Eric Johnson, Eddie Van Halen,Joe Satriani etc.... but one I didn't see mentioned is Dimebag Darrell of Pantera....as far as live.....this guy crushed...always on, every time I saw him and had the pleasure of meeting him and talking ,very very cool guy and down to earth( damn could he put down drink ...Black toothed grin).Sadly he was taken from us in an act of senseless violence in a club in Columbus Ohio.He died doing what he loved and we lost someone in their prime.What I wanted to say was there are a lot of great players but when one of the most known for his guitar playing A.K.A. Eddie Van Halen takes one of his prized guitars and buries it with another guitar player...that should say something......
R.I.P. Darrell
forever missed
