Jimi Hendrix
Jimi does not need any introduction when it comes to guitar player. His untimely death has added to the legend, if you ask people to name one and one only guitarist the answer will very likely be Jimi Hendrix

Slash Is the god, though you cant compare any two Guitarists but Slash's style is the best....
& for thoes of you who think "Slash cant even play fast".....
(1) He can play very fast & can Shred better than any living guitarist.
(2) There's a old saying in da book of rock,"If it sounds good play it, if it doesnt play it fast"
