Who would you choose as the second (not first) greatest guitarist ever? Why?

I'd say John Petrucci

He's an awesome player, but I almost always like him more when he's backed up with some other instrument.

Eric Johnson. Not the best, but pretty close.

Trey Azagthoth ... he does some interesting things on the guitar in extreme metal.

I agree with Damien Solta on John Petrucci. Technical wise he is the best, but Criss Oliva (who I'd say is the greatest) had a gene say qua unmatched by any other guitarist IMO, so Petrucci gets my vote for 2nd.

EVH because i don't think he's the best but at the same time he revolutionized the guitar in the 80's and he was probably the most creative player ever.

Steve Vai's pretty damn good. Who did we agree was the greatest guitar player of all time?

How do you disagree? When he came out he perfected a little thing called tapping that changed all the rules and sound of rock guitar. His style started the whole harmonic node incorporations too. I didn't give him the #1 slot because he isn't the best but as an innovator he can't be denied. Listen to (Eruption) and the intro to "Mean Street" again.

Yngwie Malmsteen (in Rock/Metal) : not the N°1, but 2. cause his songs (with exception of the album RISING FORCE) seem to be all the same thing.

Paco de Lucia (all categories guitar players) : simply, he's exceptianl .
