I just want to see who you feel is the best guitarist (or guitarists) is, alive or dead. If you have an argument, go ahead
DEBATES ENCOURAGED!
Just name 1 or a few and maybe a description on why or a video showcasing their skills, ill go 1st
Graham Coxon- God of Indie rock/the most under-rated guitarist ever, i consider him the best of our time. you kinda need to explore his stuff to fully appriciate it
but here are three examples
1:41...its called a musical orgasm
Blur (the Song 2 woo-hoo! band)

Also: Alex Lifeson:
skip to 2:20 to the start of the first guitar solo and listen all the way through. also, another guitar solo at 5:20.

if we're talking skillwise, it's obviously buckethead or some death metal guy, but who gives a shit how skilled someone is (unless they're absolutely terrible of course). what matters imo is the oomph and badassery that a guitarist brings to the table. this solo by the white stripes, for example, is one of my favs:

and of course, brad nowell of my favorite band of all time, sublime, wrote imo the most beautiful solo ever w/ santeria:

alot of his unheard of/live shit was amazing too:

I actually agree, no one can play power chords better than him.
Also Buckethead is pretty cool just for being weird. Paul Gilbert is the best techncially skilled guitarist I have ever seen, he's just crazy, although I don't like that music too much I can respect him so much.

Stevie Ray Vaughan, Tom Morello, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Johnny Ramone, Jack White, George Harrison, too many choices
