I'm sure this has been done before but I couldn't find a specifically top five favorite guitarists thread with the search after a couple tries. I've thought about mine many times before, but after Tuesday afternoon my old list demands change. Here it is:

 

1. Tie - Brian May and Alex Lifeson

2. Eddie Van Halen (time will tell if he stays here or turns my number one spot into a 3-way tie, both are entirely possible)

3. David Gilmore

4. John Petrucci

5. Steve Howe

 

Honorable mentions to Steve Hackett (who would probably beat out Howe if he just cared to show off a bit more), Matt Bellamy, Dave Mustaine, Glenn Tipton, and Jimi Hendrix.
