Great lead guitarists - who's the Daddy?

What about Hank Marvin? Have all The Shadows stuff plus his solo work and even Marvin, Welch & Farrar when they should have had more recognition. In my view they were as good harmony wise as Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Many of the dudes mentioned in this thread pay tribute to the man, and have played alonside him at various times. I also appreciate Eric Clapton and John Williams and what about Mark King from Level 42, one of the best bass players in the world, or is that a new thread!!!!

Slash is a brilliant guitarist.

Blimey.. do people really still have arguments over who is the greatest (ahem) axe hero.. its like being transported back to 1981 when I was 13 and me & my mates were listening to too much dodgy prog rock...

 

 

btw - its clearly Jimi Hendrix...
