    He's a good guitarist, I think it's just the choice of music that he chooses to record.

    I think his most recent album, Continuum, is bringing him further away from the generic crap on his other stuff. I agree, he's a good guitarist, he just needs to find his sound. And I think he's doing that.

    If you haven't heard, listen to Fall of Troy. Guy is insanely good. Kirk Hammet will always be the best. Adam Jones is sick, Tim Reynolds, the guy from Dragonforce, oh and KERRY KING from slayer. they should all be up there

    Frusciante should have been first, second, and third.

    Not ahead of Hammet. He, along with the rest of metallica, shaped what is any rock/metal today

    Tim Reynolds was the first name that came to my mind. He does some crazy stuff on the gitter.

    I've always been a big Morello fan. That "Nightwatchman" album he did was real different but I thought it showed some diversity.

    your out of your mind. either you have no respect for the blues or youve never heard "Continuum" or "Try!".

    im surprised Omar RL got some respect and made the list... but then again Buckethead isnt on it so the whole thing can be argued as worthless.
