3. Steve Vai

Don't think I saw anyone mention Richard Thompson, some of his solo guitar work, and stuff with Fairport Convention ranks among the most precise and fluid playing I've ever heard

Let's do the matchup thing once a solid number has been posted, like 150 or 200. 400 would take too long I think, but those are both reasonable numbers for a competition like this, if we don't want it to last years and years.

looks like we've got nowhere near 400, just over 100 actually. Should we wait for more people to post guitarists, continue voting for the contest, or have everyone whose actually paying attention to he post dump decent guitarists on the post until we reach 400? what are everyone's thoughts?

I don't know, I think the Black Keys guy- Dan Auerbach I think- is better at punk blues. But you are right, that punk blues shit is soooo kewl. The White Stripes are a fun listen.

Hey, Shankly and/or CellarDoor, I was always interested to know which guitar parts were being played by who in Sonic Youth. Can you guys give me a couple songs from Daydream Nation, Sister, Evol, Goo, Dirty, or the Eternal and tell me who did what?

I really don't have the time to look into who plays what on the Sonic Youth albums.
But a good idea could be to check some good videos of them live. I can think of "Drunken Butterfly" and " Antenna". There are surely many more.

But on songs like "White Cross" from Sister, or the first section of "Trilogy" from Daydream Nation, it's very difficult to distinguish the 2 guitars. So I agree, Lee Ranaldo should be up there too.

Haha, no one has said the Edge... I'm surprised Jack White hasn't come up yet- there's has to be someone that wants to put him on the list.

Here's one from my hometown... Trace Bundy

I'll throw my 2 cents in:

Leo Kottke, who is an amazing finger picking guitarist. His songs are a little goofy, but the guitar is unbelievable
Django Reinhart - especially since he was doing with just 2 fingers most of the time, not that it sounds like it.
Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine) Maybe not a great guitarist, but an innovative one.

But Jimi is better than them all, of course.

darcy is also a bass player, if im not mistaken. in that case you should remove her also. Since im in the neighborhood, ill nominate dave grohl, and billy corgan as replacements. and some buddy holly and elvis presley just to mess with you.
