Who is best guitarist in the world today?

Tools    





And I DO NOT mean still 'going' or still alive (e.g. Keith Richards), otherwise I would have just read the other 'best guitarist' thread. I mean the best guitarist currently working in the music industry as full time employment, still writing/producing and touring regularly.

You do realize this statement directly contradicts itself.... You say you DO NOT mean still going or still alive, so that means they have to be dead right?

In answer to your question : Jimi Hendrix

anyway...

Joe Satriani is my favorite player working today...
