Darrell Abbott could've taken Slash's skill and wiped his arse with it.

I watch and hear Keith Merrow play often, and he's alot better than Slash ever was.

I have absolutely no clue who is the best guitar player in the world, but my favorite is Doug Martsch.

Lawrence Joubert and Tommy Emmanuel if we are doing acoustic.

And going by your title I assume only living can be listed.

Not my favorite, but I'd say Steve Lukather. Can and has played everything well.

Such scintillating insight. Typical

Since people have lists without including the guy, I’m not the only one who doesn’t think he’s the best in the world.

Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton are my favorites. You can have favorites without saying someone is the best.
