Stanley Jordan is the most skilled guitar player I’ve ever seen, but ultimately, it’s in the ear of the beholder as to who is best.

@SW-User I think we all agree it's subjective, but it sure is great to hear what other people hear, and hear what they think about it. Jordan certainly is skilled, there's no question.

I’ve posted this song before, but for my money, this is my absolute favorite guitar performance ever recorded in a studio. I think Robin Trower was absolute perfection on this track, and it’s pretty much a single take with no layers or studio gymnastics. He just plugged in and let it rip.
