I've got to go with Stevie Ray Vaughan. There are a lot of great guitarist out there, but there are very few that can sing and play their own lead. :happy:

 

[takia]

joe satriani..... by far one of the best guitar players I have ever heard

Its funny my wife and I just talked about that subject this morning
I say that the best musician of all time would have to be Beethoven or W.A Mozart
the best musician of our time would have to be Quincy Jones

Beethoven!!!!
But, for our times, I would say Nina Simone. Don't argue with me.

Eric

Stevie Ray Vaughan, AMAZING guitar player.

The best musician is probably some nameless person doing studio work somewhere. Best celebrity musician, I like guitar so I would pick Clapton. I have never heard anyone who could play so well in so many different styles. That's talent.

 

[nyyankeees]

Way too hard for me to pick one person. There is too much talent out there.

I dont know most of the people yall are talkin about, but Keith Urban is an awesome guitar player and can sing very well also.

 

[alec_alec]

I would have to go wil Buddy Rich. Jazz musicians can preatty much play any style.

 

[madison]

bush people!!! they can make music and tell stories with sticks and rocks!
