The Official Best Guitarist Thread

Yeah Jimi obviously wasn't a technically proficient as someone like Batio, but at the time what he did with the instrument was revolutionary. Also he put emotion into his playing and it really showed.

Super fast shred stuff gets boring fast anyway and, in my opinion, Emotion > Speed everytime.
 
It appears our sources conflict then...

I think it may just have been a distribution deal that Warner concocted with Rough Trade, if so I'm mistaken.
 
steve vai, john petrucci, joe satrianni, eric johnson, and yngwie malmsteen... i've been playing guitar as long as i can remeraber, and those are you most amazing guitarists i have EVER heard, they put hendrix, and srv to shame, even though some of them were close frienRAB to srv... check them all out,
 
I would guess the same could be asked of you.

I am not in the habit of coming after other posters. In fact, I have never done such a thing. But, you my friend are an exception. I'll say this once, then be on my way.


You're a tool.
 
cannibal corpse does suck lol anyway, you've hit all the big names and I agree.

yngwie malmsteen for technical ability
Micheal angelo, steve vai for speed
joe satriani, eric johnson for emotion
rhodes, young for just being kickass

jimmy, hendrix and stevie ray are absolute legenRAB of their time, but alot of guitarists can play their music with no trouble nowadays
 
Stevie Ray Vaughn did do covers but his original works are great and if you have seen him live (i wasn't alive/old enough too) you will know that he would go crazy with just great things. I think that he deserves to be placed high on the chart of great guitarists because he made blues the ****. But then again there is Steve Vai and he is wierd in how he plays. He has guitars with different notes that are unknown in western music. Also Joe Saturianie (sp?) and Eddie Van Halen and David Gilmour, and Pete Townshend. Everyone is good in their own thing and there just can't be someone that is good at everything. That takes away at what we and will discourage a bunch of people from doing what they love. I think that there is a group not just one.
 
I never said i was stopping. Sure , page was in the yardbirRAB too. But this thread is about the best metal guitarist. And i said Jimmy Page. So thats my opinion. Sorry you dont like it.
