"Ask not your horse, if ye should ride into battle" - myself

Herman Li - Dragonforce - I have listened to all the great guitarists, Hendrix, Rhoades, angus young, Tony Iommi (he would be my second choice), Jimi page, dimebag Darrel and so on.

Listen to the solo in Sultans of swing

I just watched the 11 minute version of Sultans of Swing on youtube and while he is good he isn't even worthy of a mention in this thread.  Check out Texas Flood with SRV and you'll see what I mean, not trying to be rude but that by that song Knopfler just isn't in the same league in terms of skill required to play it.  Thats not to say its a bad song, I actually like it quite a bit.

-All you cool people who didn't mention Hendrix have won a free trip to the doctor for an ear, eyes and nose examination with follow-up by a practicing clinical psychiatrist in Bellevue.
