Two genious.

Both are acoustic guitar monsters in different styles hackett is more flamenco oriented and Howe more classical and sometimes country-folk.

If we talk about electric guitar:

 Howe is technically better than Hackett, cleaner, faster, etc... but again "the feeling".......   Hackett just make me cry.... what about Supper´s ready final licks and the musical box guitar solo etc.

 My vote goes to Mr.Hackett
ohh can you feel our souls ignite.......

Both are very skilled, but Hackett's atmospheres were simply unique and his solo career is absolutely superior to Howe's.

SO.........STEVE HACKETT

No guitarist brings me to tears like the wonderfully emotive Steve Hackett.I'll take emotion over technique any day.

Haven't you guys heard the beginning of Close to the Edge??? Hehehe. Both are great but I think Howe is just as emotional and more skilled than Hackett. Plus I owe a lot of my own playing style to Steve Howe.

Howe knows more than Hackett when it comes to theory and technicality.
Howe is "technically" a better player than Hackett but I love the atmosphere
and melody that Hackett creates. Hackett knows how to restrain himself
whereas Howe plays very fast and can't always control his speed.

On another note. Does anybody know that Howe and Hackett formed a band
in 86 I believe called "GTR." I'm pretty sure Hackett dropped out after the
first album was released. They spent a long, long time in the studio
recording it though.
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

Sadly we all can remember GTR, simply horrible.

I prefer Genesis to Yes and have only heard their debut solo albums, which favours Hackett, but I prefer Howe overall instead.

I think Howe is technicaly better but Hackett is a real melody master. I don't know...

Anyway I prefer Genesis to yes but this is mainly becouse of Gabriel AND Banks.

Howe because of his innovative approaches, melody, technical skill, and wide use of stringed instruments, especially steel guitar. However, I really like Hackett as well.

I remember voting for Howe, but however Hackett is a tad bit better due to his solo career.
