    Picture the scene.......Slavering journalist says to to Jimi
    How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world?
    And the bold James fresh from a Taste concert says......
    Dunno ask Rory....That really was what my leader was all about.
    Before yer Marshall stacks ,yer pedals ,and magic boxes....
    Rory bhoy was shreddin it through an ac/30 whit a talent.

    I meant he is hardly ever mentioned when this discussion comes up, but I’m with you not only a superb guitarist but a total genius musically.

    Impossible to compare.but for the best guitarist who could play in any genre of music and i should know ive followed a few gary moore is THE best guitarist ever bar none. A genius. If hendrix saw him doing red house live he would say the same.no one comes near him imo.his musical legacy from the a to z of musical genres is untouchable.i am biased of course but have yet to see another guitarist with his talent.

    In all honesty it's probably a classical guitarist who wasn't well known due to the versatility of techniques required. Add soulful playing and they could take any band to the next level.

    Honourable mention for Lindsey Buckingham. The hooks he put into intricate melodies are a sign of real musical genius.

    * loved that.

    Really cool how he was shunted off to the side, literally out of the spotlight amongst those greats, until about 4 minutes in then he just takes over the song and owns the lot of it.

    Amazing.
