I went Satch for the fact his tone is very bluesy and he doesnt over play things. It was a hard choice though as vai is immensely brillant and so too Petruccti. You are missing Paul Gilbert and anyone familar with Racer X or Mr Big will know this bloke is a machine. Theres too many to list really. A few years ago i would have voted Kirk Hammett but not anymore. Hes had some good solos but moves around the pentatonic scale too much for my liking. Still metallica are my favourite band  I am shredder if it doesnt show already.  | |

| Heinz make a good point about Paul Gilbert. If you don't know him, go to Youtube and search for him. I'm not sure if anyone does shreds faster and better than Yngwie. Ok, Paul is faster, but not better. |

| Yngwie is hard to compare to other players......... being neoclassical and all. He definitely is extremely quick but occasionally can over use a lick. Still very much an awesome player. One more i Dont think i saw Michael Angelo. The guy can play with both hands............  |

I play a little bit of guitar myself but I am not an expert or anything. I actually have done the vocals in all of my bands. Metallica is my fav as well. I have even seen them 9 times live since 1989 including last summer when they played all of Master of Puppets album note for note just as it is on the album.

| Satch taught Vai ? I think not .......... no favorite on this poll, different guys, different riffs, different guitars and different sounds Hendrix from my days has to be in the top 5 and never really was able to explore his full potential, in fact none of the 60's guitarists did, as they of my generation were fully developed into other mind knumbing processes ......... and to see those clowns now ~ still dopers even though many think he is a putz, George Lynch ought to be added .......

| Hmmmm. Tough to decide. World's Greatest Guitarist...EVER? Wow. That's tough to split technically "greatest" from one who plays with "feel and emotion". And what about genre? Blues - Stevie Ray Vaughn or John Lee Hooker Jazz - Walter Becker (Steely Dan) or Lee Ritenour Rock - Aaaah...Satriani (technical), Eddie VH (in his prime for feel), Brian May (emotion) and Neil Young (for being the Master of One Note Guitar Solos which never fail to impress) Heavy Metal - I'll go with Adler on this one. Pop - He Who's Name We Used Not Be Able to Pronounce - Prince (You gotta admit that little **** exudes talent, even if you don't like his music) So world's greatest being defined as most influential... Hendrix.
