I gotta echo most others and go with Hendrix. He taught himself how to play. He couldn't read music. He played a right-handed guitar, left-handed. The man ate lightning and shit thunder.

After him, I'd probably go with:
Satch
Eddie
Steve Vai
Randy Rhodes
Dave Mustaine
too many good ones, really, I could go all night.


For the record, Cliff Burton is the best bass player, imo.
Followed by Steve Harris.
Dave Ellefson gets special mention for my favorite bass line ever in "Peace Sells..."



Ralph Macchio.



Kyle Gass
John Williams
Bert Weedon



Greatest skill wise or best innovator and visionary?

Skill: Jimi Hendrix: he can actually control feedback and implement it into songs.
Visionary: Robert Fripp: King Crimson is the most unique band I've ever heard. There is no one remotely like them.
