Depends.
, if he isn't he sure in heck is one of them.
How can you argue with this?
LOVE SRV!!
Best thing to come out of Texas
he's us there with hendrix and that guitarist from the RHP. i cant spell his name
Overrated. Stevie Ray was pretty derivative tbh. Albert King did everything SRV did before SRV did. Hendrix was much better, more inventive and changed electric guitar forever.
Tom DeLonge of Blink 182 says hi.
ever so slightly agree, but its not like AK was the first ever blues guitar player. Mr Johnson ring a bell? Stevie played a little more in key than Albert
Pfffffffff. Not taking away what jimi did, Stevie played jimi better than jimi did. Without a doubt. Stevie would bring Jimi to tears if they were both around.

Hendrix is not only flat out better than Vaughn, he's about 1000x more innovative and original.
There are so many great guitarists around-past and present, who can say-let alone decide who is the best ever?
I love SRV's fire and his soul, but best ever? Hard to say.
As soon as you nominate a rock or blues player for example, someone could cite a classical or flamenco player, a jazz virtuoso, a metal pyrotechnic wizard, etc...
There are great guitarists that are or were never that famous-or famous at all-yet they were/are freakin' amazin...
I have been blown away by little 11 year old kids who were just wailin' away on a randy rhoads solo-note for note.
You can scan youtube and discover virtuosos no one ever heard of and they can do anything...
Best ever?
No one will ever win that le.
I dare you to find a better solo than this.

Buckethead is my personal fave, but Shawn Lane was tops imo. Too bad he couldn't afford medical insurance:
I will give you TWO better than that...
First ...with a Stratocaster...solo starts at the 3:10 mark
then one with a Les Paul...
silverblk mystix not bad!
but those solos lose out on three different levels to mine.
First: The difficulty, what your pal is doing is really a lot of stretching of the strings and he slows down many times to catch his breath and doesn't have his own style it's more like he is mixing SRV with Hendrix
Second: the length of the solo, it is not as long as Michael Schenker's solo not to mention the speed of Michael Schenker's fingers and unique style he has it has yet to be duplicated by anyone.
Third: Unlike your Gary Moore Michael Schenker is able to do his solo w/o making face like he is getting a rectal exam by Andre the giant
dont necessarily love van halen because their lyrics are so stupid but the guitar is ing incredible
Mouse....silverblk mystix not bad!

don't force me to go ....really...old school...
the great Terry Kath (he starts at the 2:00 mark...takes him a little bit to get loose...but then...he goes absolutely berserk!!!!
not saying ey betts is the greatest or anything, but i dig the out of his style and incorporating two guitars.
...uh yeah...
Eddie was always a monster...don't know if that was the best guitar solo...but it is up there...
just in case you are not convinced...
here's another gem...this song with TWO awesome solos in the same song...
CAN'T top that mouse....
time to e some things up
Did you say he went "absolutely berserk!!!!"
Look esse...Chicago is one of my favorite old school bands but comparing the solo to 25 6 to 4 to rock bottom is like comparing a 1975 ford pinto to a 1999 Mitsubishi eclipse.
but if you want to go old school vs old school then chew on this brah!!
2:30 mark
Also, that guitarist believes we landed on the moon, so he's disqualified from the contest.silverblk mystix not bad!

Ahhh ...kinda nice...
but if we are gonna split hairs here...
let's just get a cat up here who said, `` this...one guitar...I will play rhythm and lead...by myself...gimme TWO in' guitars.''
Many probes have been sent to the moon to retrieve samples. I never said we never landed on the moon I said Apollo 11 didn't.
Lets just end this already.
