As for additions Steve Morse is actually fast becoming one of my favourite guitarists. His scope and range of work is rather staggering. Cheers.

| I wouldn't complain about any of them being put on the radio, but I've got to go with Yngwie Malmsteen, if you question it, listen to Arpeggio's From Hell or his Acoustic Guitar Solo on Youtube. Flat out amazing.

| It all depends on the type of Music, for melodic old style Rock Guitar I'd have to vote for Hendrix or early Clapton. For all out guitar shredding I'd say I little known guitarist from Texas named Eric Johnson. For Blues/slide would be another Texan by the name of Johnny Winter (his rock stuff from the early mid 70's was awesome as well). For accoustic my favorites with be an old Flatpicker/Finterpicker by the name of Doc Watson. He was blinded due to illness in his younger years and it is amazing to hear him play what he plays without ever laying eyes on a fingerboard. Those are just a few of my favorites, don't get into the Metal Genre of music so I have no faves there.

| I picked Zakk Wylde but to me the Worlds Greatest Guitarist...are Jonathan Donais from shadows fall and Alexi "Wildchild" Laiho from Children of Bodom whom were not on the list but have won many awards for their technical shredding ability's.

 | from wiki Jean "Django" Reinhardt (23 January 1910 – 16 May 1953) was a Belgian Gypsy jazz guitarist. One of the first prominent European jazz musicians, Reinhardt remains one of the most renowned jazz guitarists due to his innovative and distinctive playing. With violinist Stéphane Grappelli he cofounded the Quintette du Hot Club de France, described by critic Thom Jurek as "one of the most original bands in the history of recorded jazz." Reinhardt's most popular compositions have become jazz standards, including "Minor Swing", "Tears", "Belleville", "Djangology", "Swing '42" and "Nuages" (French for "Clouds"). Now the most impressive, and what I just found out today is that he was practically paralyzed on his third and fourth finger ! Django Reinhardt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Kris
