Hello everyone, hope you are all keeping well.
Ok, so now that all of the best guitarists of the decade polls are over, I can finally move on to who you think the best guitarist is. The winner of the best 00’s Guitarist goes to Matt Bellamy so he has put himself in the running for Greatest Guitarist Ever. Now, the only way that I can think about putting this list together in the fairest way is to take all of your choices on the decade polls and only use those guitarists to determine the Greatest Guitarist.

So all of you who didn’t vote for your favourites in the decade polls, you won’t be seeing them in this poll.
The winners of the decade were:
50’s – Les Paul
60’s – Jimi Hendrix
70’s – Dave Gilmour
80’s – Slash/Van Halen
90’s – Tom Morello
00’s – Matt Bellamy

So, that’s the list. I think there is pretty much only going to be one winner but I suppose we shall have to see. Here’s the poll:
Hope we get lots of votes on this one people, as I expect it to be very opinionated.
And please remember that this list is made up from the other polls, that’s why there aren’t some of your favourites in there like Page and Dime.

Happy Voting. x

Hendrix All The Way. I must say though, there are much better guitarists in each decade that are not on there. The 60’s is the only precise one. That’s just my opinion anyways, this is very opinionated, like said.

Yeah I thought that by having an “other” option in the voting it would be enough. But I didn’t think it through for this bit really
nah, dont worry about it, this is more about voting for the favourite greatest guitarist of the decade. It’s a good enough question, and it deserved an answer

I wrote a blog today about an Imaginary Conversation with Slash. Pretty much says it all, how I feel about this topic. Of course, like everyone, I am merely expressing my personal opinion.

The issue is what is meant by “best”. We all have a different take on that. Technique? Innovation, trailblazing? Perfection of a genre/style? Expressiveness, tone, touch, improvisational skills? Many aspects to be considered.

Yes, the term “best” always throws up some different definitions. Best is sometimes confused with a persons favourite.
