Man, I forgot how awesome Neil Peart was every time he picked up those sticks. He put in 100% every time he played … RIP
All three were great in their own regard, but Neil was something very, very special.
Everyone's taste is different, and there are a lot of great guitarists that have not been mentioned. It's not a contest; just enjoy the music.
I still think Phil Keaggy’s one of the best acoustic guitarists out there… But love his work with a looper.
Not bad for a dude with only 9 fingers! LoL

Eric Clapton said Prince was the greatest guitarist of all time
FIFY.
Clapton mumbled a lot. Also possibly invented the term dog-faced pony soldier.
Sirhr
When people ask who was the best drummer of all time , I will always say Neil Peart.
And who else can play keyboard with his feat, bass, and sing at the same time? Geddy is an amazing musician as well.
Alex may be great but when he’s in the same power trio as those guys he just seems average.
I'll take Billy Cobham any day.. (solo starts at about 1:42)
And he's wearing a tie!

Prince is another that I never think of, not a fan of his music. But yes, a helluva guitar player.
And then, there's BB King.
Put this on a loop and I can listen for hours
i watched that live when it initially aired. i thought it was one of the most amazing guitar performances i had ever seen. my roommate in college and i both played guitar and small gigs and that was really before there was a ton of stuff on the internet. seeing that was like seeing the Holy Grail.... we both stood up and hollered it was so awesome.
Legend has it Prince was not happy about that clip, as its one of him playing that he had no control over the licensing and sharing of. took about 10-12 years until it was easily found on the internet. when i found it again, it was like finding a long lost artifact. incredible.
its also fun to watch Harrison's son fanboy out onstage just watching. who wouldnt?
If you can play guitar.....try and wrassle this one into a corner.
Not a single bad note, funny how I always manage to sneak a few misses in

Gassy cows and pigs will face a carbon tax in Denmark — a world first!
Denmark will tax livestock farmers for the greenhouse gases emitted by their cows, sheep and pigs from 2030, the first country in the world to do so as it targets a major source of methane emissions, one of the most potent gases contributing to global warming.

All of you guitar arguers should check out this playlist. 110 interviews so far. On it you will find somebody cool you know and many others that you don't. To name a few, Brian may, Steve Vai, Steve lukather, Eric Johnson, Tommy Emanuel, Yngwie Malmsteen, pat metheny, Andy summers, George Benson, Marty Friedman, Bjorn ulvaeus, and many others.
… and accuse farmers of greed when meat prices increase.
Not that these are better than any of the previously mentioned guitarists. But to add a couple:
Buddy Guy, Yngwie Malmsteen, Doug Aldrich(Dio, Whitesnake), Wolf Hoffman (Accept, solo work), George Lynch, Trond Holter (Jorn), Rik Emmett (Triumph), Ritchie Blackmore, Reb Beach, Rick Medlocke, Adrian Smith (Iron Maiden, Bruce Dickinson solo), Craig Goldy (Dio), Gary Hoey, too many to mention.
And I do not think I saw Stevie Ray Vaughn mentioned, may have been though.
Here is a video from Gary Hoey if you may have never heard of him. He is definitely worth checking out.

Yeah, watching that earlier clip of Edie’s solo, I’m pretty sure he had what my daughter would call “ a touch of the ‘tism”
I think that’s what allowed him to hyper focus on just that action at times and accomplish feats that most (all other?) humans just can’t understand, let alone do.
Watching those back-to-back, I’m pretty sure Prince was Jimi’s illegitimate love child! LoL
I was planning on going to that concert, stayed home for a NYE party instead....one of my biggest regrets in life...
My favorite Warren Haynes, Mick Clarke, Buddy Whittington, Henrik Freischlader; the list goes on.
Also meant to include Glenn Tipton (Judas Priest) on my previous "guitar" post. May not be as technically pioneering as some of the others mentioned here. But helped to create part of the beginnings of "Metal". Was a great too!
However, I do have to say Rush is absolutely one of my two favorite bands. Here is a great clip of what many say is
The Best Intro Ever".

All this talk about music is making me break out some great old stuff. Very much into good music! Couple pics of some audio gear that I have loved love to hear.
I know there is another member here that has a stereo consisting of McIntosh, Wilson. NICE stuff (lots of envy here)!

Damn, and I thought I was dedicated…I just went down rabbit hole after rabbit hole last night watching videos on my iPad until after 4 AM!
Peart was an absolute monster on the noise buckets (drums) and I've always liked his playing.
Buddy Rich was another, and Keith Moon....that boy could kick some skins hard.
But, I always liked Bonham the best because he played things that should not even be possible.
Say the Zep lads were playing a tune in 3-4 time, Bonham would be playing in 11-14 time, then change to 7-9 time, back to 11-14, then to 5-7.....and ALWAYS be spot on in time with the other guys when they stayed at 3-4 for the whole tune.
That kinda shit is not humanly possible.
I don't know of a single other musician of any instrument that has ever even attempted that.
You can look it up, dig into it as deeply as you want, he was the only one.
Here's another guitarist for ya.....playing Bach of all things.
Leo Kottke, seen him a few times, very impressive in person.

One of the old stories back when was about a guitarist that played really well, very fast when he wanted and always clean. I don't remember who. As the story goes, someone ask how he learned to play. He replied he was self taught, learned to play by listening to and copying Lester Flat and Earl Scruggs but he thought it was one person.
True? Don't know.
Thank you,
MrSmith

I heard something about John Bonham years ago, I think on Rockline. Comparing him with Neil Peart, who was the best. The knock on Bonham was that he only played a single bass. But then the response to that was if he played a double bass, Jimmy Page couldn't keep up with him.
Saw Led Zeppelin at MSG around 1974. Awesome show and Dazed and Confused was incredible.
