200 greatest guitarists in rock

Yeah I do have Garry moore Angus Malcolm and Jimi Hendrix they are counted more as hard rock as far as I can tell but I just personally like metal more than soft rock.
 
No he's a decent player. You're just sucking his **** way too hard right now. Back off dude, he is a long way from any top ten list.
 
Look, are you gonna use this forum for anything other than posting on this specific thread to insult and patronize everyone that disagrees with you? It seems that way because I haven't seen you make one post not ONE on another thread.

Either stop trolling this thread and try to be a productive meraber of this forum or you get banned. Or you could leave right now and save whatever dignity you have left.
 
Even Wikipedia's confused. :p:





^^ Those are from the same article. Some ****s going down NOW!

Even Wikipedia's confused. :p:



I stand corrected.
 
Creativity, Originality, Influence, Status, Impact, to a lesser extent Technical Skill and just my personal bias.



He's played for progressive rock groups like Soft Machine and Gong, in fact he's collaborated with a lot of rock musicians on what are basically rock recordings, and enough of his own solo material could be considered rock. I dont really think of him as a pure jazz guitarist, and most purists would agree to that.



I am aware of that. But Live it to Death and Schools Out are considered milestones in his career, he did much to define Coopers original sound.

Maybe he's too high, but I'm not gonna worry about the rankings too much, just the inclusions more than anything.

EDIT: Made one slight change, replaced Homme with Ace Frehley. But I dont intend to make any more changes, I like the final result just fine and I'm not trying to please anyone, just curious what people have to say.
 
By that definition, after I really learned the guitar, and listened to a lot of different types of music, I realized that Hendrix and Jimmy were very limited in that definition of ability. Both are kinda sloppy players live, and Page rarely wanders out of the minor pentatonic scale for his solos.

Watch these and tell me how this man has no soul, emotion or whatever the hell you nitwits want to call it:

so did anyone actually look at the clips i posted on the last page? stanley jordan doesn't generate ANY reaction from guitar players here?

i've seen drummer's jaws hit the floor due to that clip, guitar players are generally blown away. unlike MAB who is all flash or buckethead who comes off as an autistic robot, jordan balances both without resorting to sight gags and physical gimmicks.

nothing? really?
 
You gotta have John Petrucci in the top 20. And Eddie doesn't deserve to be 2.

Top 5

1) Jimi Hendrix
2) Jimmy Page
3) Eric Clapton
4) Stevie Ray Vaughn
5) David Gilmour or Steve Vai

Just my opinion of course
