Default Best guitarrist?

Best being defined as a combination of ability, musical knowledge, experience, and diversity in the music that they play [to exclude the Zakk Wyldes]. Also, if you want to say it was someone primarily because they're so revolutionary (hint: please don't say Jimi Hendrix) then that's cool, but they should have the other qualifications too.

I'm going with Joe Pass.

Some of the best, various reasons I guess. Excluding Hendrix [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Page
Satriani
Clapton
Vai

Page is definitely my favorite, Petrucci a close second.

I excluded Hendrix for a couple of reasons:
1) his career was short
2) he gets way too much credit given that most of his sweet moves have been done before by Chuck Barry
3) He was almost always a horrible live musician

Page is the most overrated guitar player who ever lived. That's not to say he didn't make good music but anyone who has even a little musical aptitude and has been playing for a year should be able to learn anything he plays.

That's a gross exaggeration, but no, he wasn't a technical god. His songwriting is great though and he's very, very accessible.

Given that he almost always performed drunk and high, it can very easily be said and is also true.
