The Official Best Guitarist Thread

[wanttoknowpleasex]

Scott Hull definitely would be in the top ten best guitarists for me.

Jimi Hendrix was not really a technically brilliant guitar player, but he definitely had the most talent and i still think he is the best ever. Also, he had only been making music with the hendrix experience for 4 years before he died at the age of 28, so no one has any idea of what kind of new stuff he could have come up with and how much better he could have been.

Don't worry, we hate you too.

...and probably overlooked.....Alex Lifeson of Rush.....technically excellent, but some of his solos are amazing...just my opinion.!

But did Johnny Ramone hump his amp?

okay, i know a lot of you havent heard of Malmsteen, but he does rank as the best, I dont rank Hendrix as the best soloist, nowhere near. Neither do i put clapton up there... I go for melody mainly, not speed, but malmsteen has both, hendrix has neither... it's incoherent and messy most of the time, although, i will admit - some of the stuff is excellent... Paige has perfect melodies. Van halen has the speed...
1. Yngwie Malmsteen
2. Jimmy Paige
3. Eddie Van Halen

For GoRAB sake guys, leading them on like that, it's not like this forum is called "rock & metal forum" is it!

Solo's are the instrumental form of masterbating

 

[fireflyfan_2008]

^ he can play guitar, but he's not especially talented. And yes I've heard a lot of they're songs, every one from elephant and a few from their old album. Compared to others, page, hendrix, clapton etc. he's nothing. compared to the huge talents in recent times, he's nothing special. He's a hell of a lot better than I am, but compared to really talented guitarists, one word comes to mind: "meh".

 

[KLX213]

Yep, hes also the guy who still manages to suck so much ass despite that ability.
