of all time - I would go with David Gilmour - Pink Floyd
Yep, Gilmour definitely one of the most technically skilled guitarists

I would choose Richard Thompson as my favorite because of his particularly unique style.

As a guitarist myself (although I've sold my electric and haven't touched my Nylon in years ), I'd say both Slash and Jimi when it comes to complexity. For simple catchy tunes, with simple chords, I've found no one as powerful as Kurt Cobain. The guy was no guitar genius by any stretch but somehow finding powerful combinations was natural for him. As a guitarist myself, the emboldened passage perplexes me. Complexity? Slash and Jimi? Really? Both undeniably exude loads of feel and soul, but 'complex' is probably one of the last words I would ever think of to describe their playing. It's also a term that speaks more to objectivity than subjectivity, which is probably the reason I'm responding to this post and not to the posts of those who like Carlos Santana (his guitar playing to me sounds like nails on a chalkboard; he hits all the notes I wish he wouldn't hit lol).

Jimi Hendrix of course Hendrix was incredibly original. He was a pioneer with respect to so many aspects of guitar playing, Just think about how it would be if he were still alive.

Hendrix was amazing.. I like Vai, Joe Sat, John Petrucci as well.. Tom morello n the edge for their effects.

Lol and here I was expecting the quad-guitar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1UUhqqx9kc...If that isn't hilarious, I don't know what is I'm familiar with Batio, but I'm not a huge fan of guitar wanking.

There is a difference between the fastest and best... Batio is too damn fast but is not the best.

It's also a term that speaks more to objectivity than subjectivity
Hey Actually you'd be hard put to find a term more subjective than 'complex/complexity'. Organic chemistry might appear complex to a 10 year old/layperson but could very well be simplicity itself to one who has devoted his/her entire life to the study something he/she truly loves. Someone who doesn't care about paintings could dismiss an original Van Gogh as a simple thing with colors while some else could spend hours marveling at the complexity of it. Similarly what you hear when you listen to a piece of music and what I hear can be worlds apart. Secondly, my comment is constructed in such a way as to give the reader a feeling of contrast. I immediately follow my view of complexity with one of simplicity. [This bit is not part of my response to your comment - Objectivity cannot really exist, if it does, it is a personal thing. The 'facts' that objectivity relies on are themselves subjective albeit on a deeper level. This ties in with what I said about infinities before.]
