I believe that Orianthi is the best women guitarist she even played for M.J before "According To You" came out, which is her # 1 hit. Also I believe that Slash from the FAMOUS band "Guns And Roses" is the best male guitarist in the world. Some people might disagree and say that the Chuck Berry is the best male guitarist. (I think it is Slash, not to be mean but i do sorry to the people out there that think that is is Chuck Berry.)

Who is the best guitarist ever to live?

This is a question with answers more or less always composed of opinions. Truthfully; there is probably not a "best guitarist" or a "best anything", as the answer changes with everyone you ask. Its an opinion kind of thing. There are so many different genres, styles of playing and emerging musicians it is hard to say. I might suggest googling a list of "best guitarists of today" "100 best guitarists of all time", etc.
