Jimi Hendrix da GAWD!!!
House Burning Down where he just goes off at the end...
Even Eric Clapton was afraid of my boy's range and rightfully so.

Eddie is great, top 10, but we have to take age into account
Jimi at 27 was better than Eddie at 42
Jimi Hendrix is the GOAT. the only dudes close to him were Jimmy Page, Duane Allman, BB King, & Chuck Berry
Jimmy Page, although a plagiarizing devil, gets a pass because technically he's a fukking monster
Someone who's underrated is Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth. Their lead guitar parts are, especially on Daydream NAtion
Eddie Van Halen
Albert King
Johnny Greenwood of Radiohead as well

I love Hendrix, but Eddie Hazel is the truth.

BB King was really amazing as well and should be considered.
Surprised to see so much love for Eddie Hazel, he doesn't get enough credit.
But yea, I would say Hendrix is the GOAT.
Prince is incredible too, especially if you see him live
I don't know how many people on here listen to Van Halen but Eddie Van Halen in the top 5 too, imo.

Why are you all only picking rock guitarists? Plenty of blues players out there.
It's jazz guys out there like Earl Klugh and George Benson too.
I literally just discover this guy Wes Montgomery.
live it to the limit
