The Official Best Guitarist Thread

did you think Jimi Hendrix was the best guitarist in the world? think again. THIS GUY IS THE BEST GUITARIST EVER!!! just look at this guy.

he has a band, but hes more of a solo guy. all of his music is guitar solos. sometimes vocals, but not always. just listen to his music.

the songs have ****ing amazing guitars. and no, theres only one guitarist. but he plays two guitars at once. ISNT THAT AWESOME!!! oh, and the video where you watch him playing, there are parts where you will not believe its real. well, it is. deal with it. hes faster than you. best guitarist ever in history. MICHAEL ANGELO BATIO!!!
 
True that! but I really don't mind his singing, it just make the genre "Grunge" pop up in my head because of his vocals being so rough
 
I think most people spouting off have little technical idea of the skill it takes to use the kind of counterpuntal interplay that metallica uses, and its something rarely done by non-studio musicians.

Don't kid yourself. Kirk is mountains above both Angus and Slash, both of which are amazing, but Angus plays the blues primarily and the pentatonic (sp?) scale isn't that hard to master seeing as its only 5 notes. Slash deserves his credit, but he never cut the vicious instrumentals kirk did, and he played with Micheal Jackson. So shove that up your hardrock only ass.

:drummer:
 
No they are overated, how many threaRAB do you see on best rhythm guitarists? They're extremely ignored and everyone immdeitly assume best guitarist means most amazing soloist nothing to do with rhythm guitarists. Same could be said for bassist its always the dude playing the solo that gets the attention ignore the bassist and rhythm guitarist. Even though without those a band doesn't sound as good as a band without a lead guitarist does.
 
yeah great band-the pace is awsome of dimebag. i love phils scream too. but can you really go past the top three:
jimmy page
carlos santana
eric clapton
they made music IMO. without them it wouold not be what it is today. i mean, what did led zep do for music? they are unbelievable, santana is still an awsome guitarist, and what neeRAB to be said about clapton? then theres the local day talent...aka teppei teranishi from thrice. **** he can play
 
hendrix is the best for me . page, clapton, and santana all following him .
and i like the music muse are producing aswell the guitar work on hysteria is superb and they sound gr8 live aswell
 
Na dude im talkin not fastness im talking tricks and speed. the first time i heard him i was like "WHAT! did he just hit 37 notes in one beat! JESUS!!!"
 
Completely unable to be objective and cannot love any guitarist quite so much as John Frusciante at the moment.

Why? Well because I'm obsessed with his music, absolutely love his timing, chord changes, quick and unusual melodies, and the way he plays is so energetic, so passionate, so vigorous, so totally involved, so completely absorbed. No disrespect to the classic greats, he is a great to me.

:band:
 
I think Dimebag from Pantera/Damage Plan's the ultimate guitarist. He's Original,Talented and down to earth.
Dime's the man!!

R.I.P Dime
