For you, who is it ? Not talking about the fastest licks, but about the greatest feel, tone and overall insertion in the band.
For me: Billy Gibbons hands down. The guy lays down mad solos, not because they are complicated, but because they boogie like nothing else in the blues/rock form, period. He basically took the raw, dirty and soulfull sound of the old masters (Hooker, James and Johnson) and made it readily available in a more modern and accessible form to rock fans of all backgrounds. That takes serious talent. The fact that he doesn't take himself seriously at all, is playful with his music and is still touring are testament to his skills.
George Harrison is probably seond on my list, followed by Alex Lifeson. |

And Jerry Garcia and Duane Allman, RIP.
