Joe Satriani
Before becoming a rock god, Satriani made a living as a guitar instructor, even teaching a young guitarist named Steve Vai at one point. Surfing With the Alien, his breakthrough album cemented his reputation as one of the best instrumental rock guitarists of all time, featuring Marvel Comics’ Silver Surfer’s iconic illustration on the cover.

Jeff Beck
It’s difficult to argue with guitarists who were members of The Yardbirds. The Yardbirds were made up of only Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page. Jeff Beck is a guitar legend whose work includes blues rock, hard rock, and electronica, among other genres. He doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon. He’s recently been seen performing with Johnny Depp at live shows.
