Between each set of choices, pick one of the guitarists–the one you think is better. You need not say why. Also, I’ve included what band, if any, each guitarist is best known for as well as what genre they’re best known for playing.

2. Warren DeMartini (Ratt; rock) vs. Slash (Guns N’ Roses; rock)
3. George Harrison (Beatles; rock) vs. Pete Ham (Badfinger; rock)
4. Chet Atkins (country; solo artist) vs. Jerry Reed (country; solo artist)
5. Brad Paisley (country; solo artist) vs. Brent Mason (country; session guitarist)

7. Eric Sardinas (blues; solo artist) vs. Joe Bonamassa (blues; solo artist)

Warren (Slash can be overrated)
George (while he was in The Band, not while he was in the Beatles)
Jerry
Brad
That’s tough but I’ll go with Stevie, but not by much!!
Joe
Wes
Wow! Great question!
I pretty much agree across the board. My only changes would be Bonamassa instead of Sardinas (Both are awesome, and I though that was the biggest toss up), and Harrison over Ham (I’m know I’m showing favoritism cause I’m not a Badfinger fan).
Loved the question. Any answer can be argued for, and that makes for great discussion here. Well played sir.

I’m only gonna choose Slash because he’s amazing and George Harrison. I’ve never heard of the others.
