most guitar players will agree that clapton is the best all time. for me.........it's vito from white lion or eddie van halen.

This is exactly why the opinion of someone who is a guitarist doesn't answer the question.

Sure, guitarist will appreciate technical chops more than i do because I don't play guitar. And if you are asking the question of who has the best technical guitar chops, then ask that question.

I'm gonna think about who best uses the guitar as a tool for making great sons, because that is the more important question by a cozy margin.

I don't care if Eric Clapton can jerk off with his left hand while playing a mozart symphony on the guitar with his right. Did it result in a great song? And with Clapton, it didn't. So, next.
