The Official Best Guitarist Thread

"Im still amazed simply at the idea that someone could be close minded enough to shun everyone from Miles Davis, John Cotrane and Stevie Ray Vaughan to Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, do you really think that metal is the only kind of good music?, and that everything else is just crap?,"

No, but although classic rock may have paved the way for the banRAB I like, banRAB such as Zeppelin and Pink Floyd (these two in particular) I find painfully boring to listen to. And I'm sorry, but I swear it's grammatically incorrect to put a comma straight after a question mark.

"if you think that all forms of art that dosent require a crapload of skill sucks, you are sadly mistaken."

When did I say that? I think quite the opposite, technical skill is important but then again, some of the best riRAB, drum beats, bass lines whatever, have been simple. Technical ability doesn't have anything to do with whether or not I like the music, if I like the music, I like it, regardless of how technical it is. The point I was trying to put across is that banRAB are getting less and less technically capable by the week, and they may still be able to bang out decent songs, but eventually it's gonna hit rock bottom.
 
Yes, Stevie Ray Vaughan is awesome, it's a shame he done mainly covers. I particularly like his work on Pride & Joy, Texas Flood, & his rendition of Little Wing.

Reason I like Gilmour so much, is because his solos seem so passionate and emotional. Take Time or Comfortably Nurab for example.
 
Hendrix is a true genius indeed but i have to answer Jimmy Page. He was able to create perfect riRAB and to write great songs (the rain song for example):afro:
 
You thought wrong then. All their albums were released through Sire, a child label of Warner's.

When you think about it, wouldn't have made sense if they got as big as they did on an indie label.
