“Best” is not really applicable in my opinion, but try this - YouTube Hundreds Of Thousands - Tony MacAlpine - YouTube
MacAlpine - big influence - one of my faves. Hundreds of Thousands is INSANE!!!

Ok, I was going to say TM, but I haven’t gotten around to it.
Funny thing is, I know your posts from PWI and wouldn’t have expected to see you come out of there and post in GAL.
Anyway, TM and George Lynch (who I like a lot, also) played together on ‘Maximum Security’ and I beat the hell out of that cassette in the late 80’s.

He’s very versatile, also. He can shred, be soulful, bluesy, and classical… TM does it all.

although some die hard rock fans wouldn’t like it, john frusciante has to be up there.
he’s played some amazingly catchy and yet fairly simple tunes and also played some very technical pieces. the by the way album shows his technical ability.
and his live improvisations and solos are insane, just look up get on top live at yokohama or any don’t forget me performance.[/quote]

Great artist, wouldn’t call him a rock guitarist though.[/quote]
I would. Plus!
Listen to the solos in songs like Let’s Go Crazy. That little purple bastard shreds![/quote]
Don’t get me wrong, I have immense respect for the slick, slinky, sexy funk that he plays and concur that he shreds, but for the most part it’s not rock and roll to me.

Prince rocks out:
The young Yngwie imo. Especially the Alcatrazz years.
This guy is like off the planet. Obvious Satch influence. Click around on him a bit.

(Long Story). I remember Lynch when he was in Dokken a thousand years ago.
I was at this show 20 years ago on Long Island. Steve Morse - Live in New York, '92 part2 - YouTube
The most ferocious version of Johnny B. Goode ever. 1977 Franky never really did get much recognition.
Good stuff trib. Saw Frank Marino at Harpo’s, mind blowing.
I love the Juggernaut album.
Masterful funky rhythm chops with that narrow necked SG n cry-baby combo.
Speaking of Lynch
How About Brad Gillis?
I once owned the “Speak of the Devil” Album. All old Sabbath tunes. Gillis did a good job there.
Dave Meniketti was pretty decent though maybe not great. He was however the first guy I ever saw do the one on one off pickup switch trick which the players here will recognize in the leads.
Well, I know this person is a cartoon and not techinally a REAL person, but I think his guitar skills are bitchin’!
So my vote goes to the Once-ler…
