For me the truest mark of a great guitarist is when you can instantly identify who’s playing no matter what guitar is being used or whether it’s that person’s own music or someone else’s. By that definition, David Gilmour is right at the top of the list. While he’s known for mostly playing Strats, David could play a spoon and still sound like himself. And whether it’s Pink Floyd, his solo work or as a session musician for someone else, you know immediately that it’s David Gilmour on guitar. Perfect example, No More Lonely Nights, by Paul McCartney.

The reality is that any list like this will never be agreed on by everyone. Everyone has their own taste and each musician has their own style and sound, so my answer to the question is always that they are each the best at what they do. One day Blackmore could be my favourite and another day it could be Page, or Gilmore, or Clapton or whoever I'm in the mood to listen to at the time. Everyone mentioned in the video and in the comments are all phenomenal musicians and all deserve respect.

@TradeWinds On The Bay Too young? So what, his music still exists. In fact there is way more of his material out there now than when he was still alive. Jimi is the greatest by far. He was a genius but you have to really learn his stuff, dig a little deeper and you will be rewarded. Page is easier to get into Hendrix will never cease to amaze you. Pity so many people just don't see/hear it. You have to invest in him. I mean Gilmour is great but his magic is 70% tone. Players like Hendrix and also Knopfler are/were so much more creative and imaginative.

I'm talking about the incomparable Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi. Between his high energy guitar solos on such songs as Dry County, to the unmistakable riff of Wanted Dead or Alive.
