Michael Schenker.

Satriani. I couldn't pick Neal because he is an excellent guitarist that is wasting his talent being in journey. Much like Vivian is in Def Lep. Journey isn't known as a guitar band. Although, my favorite guitar solo is WCN.

Lots of great players on the list, but have to go with Eddie.

You forgot MAB...this dude puts YinYang Malmsteen to shame....

Cleanest guitarist I've ever seen. Guy NEVER misses a note.

And smart as a flippin' whip...

Neal.

Best and most diverse songwriter of the bunch.

Neal is God. End of story.

Steve Morse and Steve Hackett are pretty much the best all-around guitarists in that list.

Iommi, Lifeson, Blackmore, Howe, Gilmour...all awesome, too. Can't pick just one.

Jeff Beck

This is Favorite list right? Seems like it's starting to become a "best" guitarist in my fucking own little world" list. The best is subjective to millions upon billions.

My favorite's and the reason's why.

1. Jimmy Page. Took the rock guitar, IMHO, to the next level with his playing style, especially onstage.

2. Ace Frehley. "The Spaceman" and what made me take the guitar seriously.

3. Steve Clark. He made Def Leppard. Stage-presence was undeniable live. Vivian Campbell, what have you done?

4. Edward Van Halen. "When I first heard "Running with the devil" and the album as an whole, I knew he would be king.

5. David Gilmour. Nothing like great "Stoner" guitar!

My faves
Eddie Van Halen and Neal Schon

Rhoads, for me.

I had to go with Kee Marcello, just based on Europe's "Out Of This World" album. The guitars and solos on the album are my favorite guitars of all-time! Other than that one album, I'd probably have to go with Steve Lukather. He and Schon are pretty close, but I give the nod to Steve because he's much more versatile.

Neal, but lately I've been diggin' on me some Gary Moore- RIP

I've been wishing for years that Neal and Luke would do something together- Toto meets Journey meets Hardline...

Kee totally owns that album with one great solo after another. Amazing how one of the most melodic rock albums with some of best solos, never got the publicity and attention it truly deserved.

Neal. I absolutely love his playing with Journey, and his solo albums are so diverse in sound and feel. I played Beyond the Thunder the other day, first time in a very long time, and was still blown away by it.

by far not the best on any list, but my fav is Ace Frehley.

That WOULD be awesome! I'd have to throw in some David Paich to though.

Shame that "Planet US", with Satch and Neal, didn't pan out. Would've been interesting hearing their styles contrast against each other. But then, we all know Neal isn't very good at sharing the spotlight.

Neal remains my fav. guitarist.

LOL - now that you mention it, there is a resemblance is that pic. I'm pretty sure Luke can't play (or sing) like Colin :wink:
