saidmahmoud: Who is the best guitarist in the wor?
Thousands we never heard of. Living or dead?
Start with Wes Montgomery, or Robert Johnson. Modern day? John Williams? The list would be endless covering all styles of music. Chet Atkins............Bugs Bunny on the Banjo is cool.
Classical? For his compositions alone I"d say Agustin Barrios Mangore. Some recordings of his playing do exist but there old and crappy and not a reliable source to judge his playing by,however from all reports he was a master.
As for modern players theres heaps but I doubt many,if any actually,are any better than this guy,he plays better than many far better known guitarist.
Music is a very personal thing, its hard to peg one single guitarist who is the best. I supposed there probably is a best technical fastest person out there but one persons tastes is different from another person so its hard to say who is really best.

jimmy hendrix - cocaine - American rock guitarist, singer, and songwriter is one of the best guitarist in the world. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes him as "arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music" . There is only a very select few who can truly let a guitar sing and Clapton is also one of those few (along with Hendrix, Santana, and a couple others). Clapton writes his music straight from the heart, finding inspiration is his real life.

I love Jimmy. Have you ever watched the documentary about Woodstock and the other music festivals during that time? They show just about all of Jimmy's set on that documentary. It's really good.
