Slash is an Awesome guitarist. He's got it all. I mean you don't just wake up and find that you are really good at something, you need dedication and Slash has that dedication needed to be great, and that's only one of the many reasons he deserves his place in the top 5. Slash is unlike many guitar players in that he doesn't just play, he gets the meaning and the feeling of music. Its like music isn't just something he does, it's who he is and what he loves. Another reason for him being in the top 5. I always like him......
Well, for me it is these five ones, not in any specific order. Bryan May (Queen) Ronni Le Tekrø (T.N.T) Jannick Geers (Iron Maiden) Steve Lukather (Toto) Eddie Van Halen (Van Halen)
slash and jimmi are world class.. always be remembered.. but also another one of my best is kurt cobain...
The best guitarist ever for me is Joe Satriani. It seems that his guitar is also singing every time he plays it.
