I voted for my own personal favorite. Not that he is the greatest, he just happens to be my favorite.

It's like anything, they don't need a vote to tell you, they just had to touch you.....

Why isn't Eddie Van Halen getting more votes?. He was so influential and revolutionised Guitar playing in the late 1970's early 1980's. Listen to the songs Eruption, Spanish Fly and Cathedrals and you will see what I mean.

explain how they were special and how they affected you.........

Hendrix was my main influence when I was young, I can remember my sisters playing his music in the late 60s early seventies and it went from there. I got my first guitar as a result of hearing Hendrix and never looked back......head banger head banger

Yes it is clear by the poll there are plenty of Clapton fans here..

But don't forget that Clapton has been around playing for 40 years, Hendrix was only here famous for 3 years.......head banger

Jimi123499: Who was the best Rocker Guitarist Ever?

Don't you mean your own top 10?

Since so much of "best" is subjective, there's no point in me mentioning names. However, there a valid argument for defining "best". Do you mean:

- flash, or notes per second
- biggest hit singles
- technical proficiency
- influence on others
- sound
- overall effect on rock music

If I were to pick only one to match all those criteria, then there's only one name worth mentioning, and he's not on your list. Take away the least important of them (popularity) and it's a different story.

I voted for Jimi. Can't argue with his lasting influence.

A mention for Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac though. Happily jammed with Hendrix while others were still dealing with inferiority issues.

Beautuful touch he had...sumptuous.

Talking about touch players, Paul Kossoff from Free. WOW!!!bowing

I completely agree with you. As a fan of the "guitar instrumental" genre I noticed there were a number of guitar prodigies (mostly from the more current generations) that were not included on this list. Could you please give us the name of the guitarist you're referring to ( the one you believe to match all the mentioned criteria? )
