love it when anyone mentions Steve Jones-from beginner in 1975 to setting standards that have never been bettered for THAT type of playing in 1977 was just phenomenal. How can you top "Holidays in the Sun", "Bodies", "EMI" etc, A truly underated guitarist by most people outside of the UK.
 
Matt Deighton, Wilko Johnson & johnny Thunder.

My 3 favourite guitarists. amazingly they all have very different styles... :D

Not to pick a fight here, really, but it is a WIDELY held belief in the industry that Rick Derringer played ALL the guitar on those Guns-n-Roses recordings,
:eek: hilarius if true

and my input on the topic, some guys who didnt earn a living before mtv:
tom morello (audioslave, ratm)
james hetfeild (under-rated as a rythm player)
daryn malkalian (SOAD)
kim thaiyl (soundgarden)
jerry cantrell
kurt cobain
nick oliveri (ex QOTSA)
adam jones (tool)
trey spruance (mr bungle)
herman li (dragonforce)

not that i dont appriciate the legends (hendrix, page etc.) that everyone else is raving about. i just thought these guys werent gettin enough recognition.
just hope im not the only one out there who thinks so... :)
 
for me it changes but right now my top five are...

Joe Bonamassa - blues rock
Robert Cray - blues
Bill Frissell - jazz
Junior Brown - country?
Warren Haynes - southern rock
 
Currently it's Mike McCready and I don't rate anyone else to be quite honest.

John Frusciante's OK.
 
Has anyone even mentioned Mick Box from Uriah Heep?
I met him a few times when they've toured Australia.
Not the flashiest of guitarists but a master of the riff and a hell of a nice bloke.
 
Johnny Thunders
Johnny Ramone
Ron Asheton
James Williamson
Cheetah Chrome
Andy McCoy
Chuck Berry
Bo Diddley
Link Wray
Cliff Gallup
Jerry Merritt
Johnny Meeks
Eddie Cochran
Brian James
Wayne Kramer
Sylvain Sylvain
Chris Whitley
 
Forgot:
Angus 'n' Mal
Mick Cocks
Pete Wells
Walter Lure
John Perry (that's JOHN from the Only Ones NOT Joe from A*r*sm*th)
Nasty Suicide
John Lee Hooker

Daniel Rey
Gary Sunshine
Ricky Mahler
