The best Guitarist?

[Zephyr]

John Petrucci, Saint Joe, Steve Vai, Michael Romeo, and Yngwie Malmsteen.I'm a sucker for shredding.

 

[mr.guy]

Steve Vai is a beautiful choice. Good call. I'm personally in love with paul simon's guitar playing, but i don't think he's anywhere near the best; just a very diverse player. But i fear i may open the floodgates of "adequate" folk guitarists with this nomination...

 

[The Black Whirlwind]

dimebag darell is the greatest guitarist EVER.

Claudio Sanchez

 

[Aqualung]

Whenever I think of great guitarists I always think of ……FRANK ZAPPA, Adrian Belew, Earl Klugh. Alex Lifeson, Jaco Pastorius, Pat Methany, John McLaughlin Kim Simmonds, Les Paul, Ry Cooder, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jorma Kaukonen, Pat Travers, Ty Tabor, Steve Vai, Bootsy Collins, Ted Nugent, Yngvie Malmstien, Carlos Santana, Steve Morse, Todd Rundgren, Robin Trower, Tony Mottola, Joe Walsh, Stanley Clark, Robert Cray, Jerry Garcia, Jeff Lynne, Dan Fogelberg, Tim Sult, Stever Bartek, David Gilmore, Rory Gallagher, Alan Holdsworth, Robert Fripp, John Mayell, Frank Marino, Greg Allman, Jeff Beck, George Benson.

Frubals for anyone who can give me the guitarists that are associated with groups.

Okay. Kind of incomplete, but oh well.
Frank zappa - frank zappa and the mothers of rnr.
Andrian belew - frank zappa; adrien belew; the bears.
les - don't know (but les pauls are my favourite guitars).
SRV - SRV.
Steve Vai- David Lee Roth.
Ted Nugent- Damn Yankees, Ted Nugent
Santana - Santana.
Joe Walsh - Joe Walsh, the Eagles.
Jerry Garcia - Greatful dead.
David Gilmor - Pink floyd.
Frank marino - something about a rush...
Greg allman - allman bros

Those are all I know. Is that frubal worthy? )(

Wait, did I do that right? I looked back and you said name the guitarist associated with each group. I don't know what that means?

Jaco played bass...


uh Jerry Garcia and Trey Anastasio I 'spose.

 

[mr.guy]

So did stanley clark and bootsy collins...are you just reading a string advert?

 

[Zephyr]

Jaco played bass...

And damn well too!

Now if only I could finally get "Barbary Coast" down...

 

[Shadow Wolf]

dimebag darell is the greatest guitarist EVER.

I agree. No one can come close to producing riffs nearly as good as Dimebags.
Kirk Hammet is the next best.

John Petrucci, Saint Joe, Steve Vai, Michael Romeo, and Yngwie Malmsteen.I'm a sucker for shredding.

I remember when Yngwie first stared and they had those cool T-shirts that said-Yngwie Who? :bounce

 

[Kowalski]

Who do you think is the greatest Guitarist?

I say Jimmy Page

Good choice, and I would mention Slash from Guns n' Roses, mean guitar.

Cheers

[Ori]

Jimi Hendrix.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

And how could I forget David Mustane. Allthough not the greatest, he is definitly under-rated.

Dam straight! Shredding is easily the hardest component of the guitar, and therefore it should also be the most respected aspect too. Many people do not comprehend the fact that shredding is so hard, and end up choosing more mainstream guitarists as the best rather than the really talented ones. I have been playing the guitar for around 4 years, and only recently have i been able to shred, and I have an extremely long way off before I could even be considered one of the greatest.

 

[mr.guy]

Shredding is vastly overated. You want to challenge yourself as a guitarist, take up flatpicking, fingerpicking or classical style. Shredding is easy.

That is a mighty impressive list Aqualung, but your missing a few!

Jimmy Page - Led Zeppelin <<<<<< HE IS GOD! FEAR HIM.

Frank Zappa because he deserves to be mentioned twice

Steve Howe - Yes!: amazing control, combined with Steve Wakeman on Keyboards, they can induce euphoria (it's true).

Adam Jones - Tool (not everyones favourite, but noone plays with feedback or FX better.)

How did I miss him! Time to go punish myself. 50 lashes.

Steve Howe - Yes: amazing control, combined with Steve Wakeman on Keyboards, they can induce euphoria (it's true).

What about the bass player? I definitely think their bass player is one of the best ones out there. He's my idol (even if I can't remember his name. )

[qutoe=SnaleSpace]Adam Jones - Tool (not everyones favourite, but noone plays with feedback or FX better.)[/QUOTE]You know, I've only heard a few tool songs. I liked what I heard, but I just don't know them that well.

 

[Darkdale]

Jimi Hendrix or Jimmy Page were the "best" I think. But Slash is my favorite.

I will drive over to your house (since we both live in ontario) and shake your hand if you send me a recording of you playing erotomania/universal mind (DT, instrumedley speed) or No boundries (MAB). Those two songs alone, in each shredding parts, the guitarists play around 13-15 notes a second, which is roughly 6 to 8 milliseconds per note. You are telling me that it is easy to have picking hand + left hand coordination, while skipping strings like crazy, sweep 32nd notes, and play extremely clean??? I bet you don't even know what an arpeggio is, and you come up here with your trash talk. Please refrain from talking smack. And Shredding is UNDER RATED!!! How could you say it is over rated while people like Jimi Hendrix are the most popular? Begone cretin!

BURN HIM! SEND HIM BACK TO HELL!

Seriously though, let's see you play Children of Bodom's "Silent Night, Bodom Night" and then we'll see who gets the last laugh.
