Best guitarist right now?

[Kouler]

My vote goes to Steve Vai. He is insane.

He is indeed insane. Incredible guitarist, matched only by his repertoire of facial expressions

:E

Hard to say who the best guitarist is though, i mean, that's going to be a matter of opinion. For me, my favourites right now have to be: Satriani (prob. my fav. of all) Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, John Petrucci, Hermann Li

Tom Morello? He's pretty good

all great guitarists

Bar Tom Morello, everyone listed so far bores me. Greatly. I could of gone to sleep when I saw Batio play live. Bit of tapping, some sweeps, some fast playing, more tapping, stretch out some tapping for a while, add some effects then repeat over several times and make an album. No. Go away, you boring bastard.

Ugh.

I don't know whos good right now, but as for fave guitarists (and unbeleiveabley underrated), I'd say Ler LaLonde of Primus (who has this cool thing that other guitarists around today don't pay attention to: originality) and East Bay Ray of Dead Kennedys. Omar Rodreiguez in his At the Drive-In days, too.
