   Dang! You stole my answer. Jimi Hendrix could count for both. Kurt Cobain as well.

   EDIT: Forgot the “Why do you think your right?” part. Anyway…
   Well James because of his energy and dedication to the fans. This applies to Dimebag as well. Also, Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain are great because, as some person beneath me said (forgot your name, sorry), they kill two birds with one stone (such brutality to birds!), and they not only pulled it off, they pulled it off well, and influenced countless other musicians. And that, my friend is why I think they’re the greatest.

    For rock, the lead guitarist that is probably technically the best would have to be Steve Vai…at least from all the guitar work I’ve heard. For a front man, I’m not really sure.

    Now, in blues, Stevie Ray Vaughan was definitely the best lead guitarist.

    In modern country, I’d have to say that Brad Paisley’s the best lead guitarist. For classic country, it was either Chet Atkins or Jerry Reed.

    In jazz, Django Reinhardt was one of the all-time greatest lead guitarists…and he did it all with just two fingers!

    And, honestly–if you have not heard any of the guitarists I’ve mentioned, check out some of their stuff! If you do, you will not be disappointed!

    EDIT: I forgot to say why so, here goes…for Vai, it’s because he’s got to be one of the most advanced guitarists out there. For Paisley, his speed and versatility is outstanding. For Atkins and Reed alike, they were the two best fingerpickers I’ve ever heard and Atkins was one of the most influential country pickers of all time, if not the most influential country guitarist, that is. Then, for SRV, I don’t really need a reason…I mean, he was SRV! For Django Reinhardt, you gotta listen to him and you’ll know what I mean!

    Freddie Mercury no argument there. Brian May. No Argument whatsoever. Brian is a true virtuoso. And Freddie is a genious. Yes I said is.
