Does anyone really think any members of KISS are “great”? Average to above who had the right gimmick at the right time.

Billy Duffy from the Cult is pretty mediocre.

I don’t think he is a great guitar player, but he has at least written some great and memorable riffs. Style is also hard to replicate. But I think that’s a good recipe for being on this list.

Slash

Most serious guitarists don't (or shouldn't) rate Tom Morello, Edge, and Jack White that highly

My old guitar teacher hated Neil Young's playing.

The hate for the Edge is palpable but ridiculous.

He is a musician who has created interesting and wildly popular sounds from his guitar rig for 40+ years. He is not EVH, but he was never trying to be that. He plays in service of the song.

Played in a cover band with a great guitarist who idolized EVH. Regardless of the artist every song sounded like a different version Eruption. It was exhausting and not enjoyable.

Also, these threads bring out the guitar snobs who really only value a certain style of playing.

Good call. On top of being an absolute snooze-fest musically, he's also an arrogant prick.

Morello has written some incredible guitar hooks, and I love the effects he uses.
