My boyfriend and I have been discussing this for a few months, and we're having trouble thinking of the great American rock guitarists. Most of what we come up with are Brits, with the occasional Canadian, and of corse, the legendary Irishman, Rory Gallagher.

--reporter to Jimi Hendrix: "How's it feel to be the greatest guitarist in history?"
--Jimi: "I don't know man, you should go ask Rory Gallagher."

In the states, we've got Jimi. (Mic drops................................."boom!&quot
We have Eddie Van Halen.
Also Joe Perry, I guess.........before that whole "Break" thing

......That can't be it, right?
We invented Rock N' Roll, but we're getting spanked by the overwhelming British Invasion.

So I'm asking you, the Lounge Lizards, to prove me wrong.
Show me some American Rock badasses. Not Blues, we own that (mostly.). Not metal, the Sweeds own that (mostly.). I just mean Rock N' F'n Roll



Criteria:

No three chord wonders, or fret tapping hair band leads, I'm looking for Guitarists.

Check your choices (Slash from G N' R is British, for example)

Finally, please no newbies or one hit wonders, I'm looking for heavyweights! Folk who can stand with the likes of Brian May, Tony Iommi, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, and Kieth Richards.

I know there out there, help me find them:
