Anyone know who I am talking about?

My all time favorite is Ace Freheley!

I used to have a boot cassette of ABB in Toronto and Derrick sat in for the 1st set, if i remember he was about 12 or younger. You could tell back then that he indeed would master his craft.

Don't think you can talk in terms of "greatest". Have been lots of special & amazing guitarists with different styles & in multiple genres. But the 2 that always stood out most for me were Hendrix & SRV...

I wouldn't trust Clapton as far as I could pick him up and throw him down.  C'mon, this dude was fukking George Harrison's woman.

Yes, anyway, I would put him in my top ten.

Prince flew under the radar for sure. For the most part on all his studio tracks the guitar was never a major point of emphasis, and never mixed in too loud.

But if you saw him live...the dude frigin shredded. He's been known to play way over the time limit many times as well. The Venue would have to basically kick him off stage. What a great artist and musician.

Funny that you just mentioned John Petrucci.  He was influenced by Steve Vai who was influenced by Joe Satriani.  It's crazy how talent just gets handed down life to life to life.

Was at a Steve Vai concert in the 7th row and he looked at me and fired his pick and hit me center chest and it dropped into my hands.

Incredible, southern blues based Heavy Metal baby

Seen Pantera a handful of times in my day. I also had tickets to see Damage Plan at the house of blues, they were supposed to play the day after that psychopath in Ohio killed him.

Just got back from a Toto Concert. 

I had no idea Lukather was so good. 

Not good...  GREAT.  

I didn’t even want to go.  Just took my son for something to do at Foxwoods on a Friday night.  He played “While my guitar gently weeps” as a tribute to George Harrison.  Vocals far from anything good but that Fender guitar was very very special.  I’m really in shock at his performance.

Saw on TV years ago where Stevie and BB King played in a little jazz club type of place.  What an amazing performance by both.   I can still remember BB King smiling at SRV as they both go back and forth on their blues guitar licks.  I think even he was amazed at the talent Stevie had...

saw him @ small venue in DC mid 70's but like a dumbass i drank too much before during and after to remember anything but the feel and sound of his guitar and how stoic he was, and he showed up late.I was familiar with his music before seeing him and as time passes i grew more angry at myself for being drunk but figured i'd catch him later...wrong.
