best guitarist among lead singers?
 

okay just a couple of stipulations......can't be a tradtional 3 piece band and the singer can't be the lead guitarist in the band.

Dave Grohl
Eddie Vedder
Myles Kennedy
Chris Cornell
Brett Scallions

i must thinketh on this oh yes i must think so mant to choose from :)

ugh
again, it comes down to cornell and kennedy, more on this later.

decide you will
and you decide you must yes

lol

cornell-better songwriter
kennedy-better guitarist

heh
i was just coming back to say that.
plus, on cornells solo album, johannes and shneider did a lot of the work.

Myles!!!

ditto :D

has to be myles hes awsome :)

WTF ARE YOU GUYS SMOKING?

HANDS DOWN... NO Contest
JAMES HETFIELD

Are you serious???

yes i am although i did neglect to say hetfield i will admit. grohl is good and if you've ever seen pearl jam you'll know eddie can play. he's skills are as good as stone gossard's IMO. no mike mccready but thats okay.......

James Hetfield, definitely
and I feel like such a tool for saying this, but Myles, too

Yeah, well, that's true... Didn't think of him...

Jerry Garcia, Zakk Wylde, Josh Homme, Warren Haynes

Kennedy is amateur at best, Hetfield is pure rhythm, as is Eddie Vedder despite kicking ass on Betterman. Garcia defined an era, Zakk is a metal god, Homme is highly underrated and Haynes superb in Mule.

Not to be bias heh. But Trent Reznor, plays guitar on quite a few songs live. Not the best I would say but surely worth mention.
