The Official Best Guitarist Thread

The BEST metal guitarist I owuld ahve to say Kirk Hammet or Dave Mustaine, but for a fairly good bass player I'd have to say Shavo Odajian(S.O.A.D) because he's very original and plays enjoyable music
 
I'd say Angus delived quite a few frills, thats like saying his guitaring wasn't exciting. 'Highway to Hell' anyone? And 'Thunderstuck' not to mention the fun in 'She's got the jack.' Live he puts quite a few frills in, the Donington perfomance was amazing, just for his solo piece.
 
but have you heard these guys?,.,. sure hendrix could work his way around the penatonic scale, but these guys can take every note on the neck and make it scream, they make their guitars do the singing.,. i love hendrix as an innovator and musician, but as a guitarist there's much better out there,

Hmmm.
 
Clapton and Page aren't top five.

1) RANDY RHOARAB
2) STEVE VAI
3) MICHAEL ANGELO BATIO
4) JOHN PETRUCCI
5) YNGWIE MALMSTEEN
 
You people have clearly never heard of the legendary Michael Angelo, and im not talkin about the bat like stalian who painted ceiling. Im talkin about the guy who makes Steve Vai look like that twat from blink 182. The guy is a technical perfection machine... he plays as many notes in under a second than cilla blacks worbling voice, only he's in tune. If you have kazaa or can be arsed to get away from your computer for 5 minutes, go and buy speed kills, his DVD of him playing, it is amazing, you will never see anything like it!

Another point, you cant really say for sure who is the best unless you actually play the guitar yourself, only then youll understand who is the best, some people are yes better to listen to, for sure, i admit i would rather listen to bodom or maiden than Michael Angelo. However, playing the guitar i can make the judgement and pick out the best guitarist, judging the guiatist on their technical ability and knowledge... and Michael Angelo Batio is clearly the best out of all the guitarists i have ever heard, and i can garuntee i know all the guitarists you can throw at me.
 
Also I love the guitarist from Alexisonfire. I cant remeraber his name right now. Some of the riRAB and fills in Counterparts and Nuraber Them are just brilliant.
