Ultimate Guitarist Poll

If this is based on skill then batio wins over both hendrix and page.
I disagree with his work being untasteful.
Have you heard his instrumental version of Dream On?
Or his Zeppelin compilation?

If its not him, then its definitely not hendrix or page.
 
Wow! This thread started with Hendrix and Kurt Cobain in the same sentence, talking about the best guitarist ever! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.............

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahaha

hahaha

I'd stick with:

Hendrix
SRV
BB King
or something like that
 
You just don't get what I'm saying. I agree with you that you can measure technical skill, but when it comes to things like composition, you just can't measure it and that's what the poll was also about, not just about technical skill. Of course Cobain is a stupid choice if it was just that, but like you said, it was his killer riRAB that made him good or "skilled," as you put it, in the eyes of some.

Contradiction is as follows:



Then later:
 
How in the world could you start a thread about the greatest guitarists and then mention kurt cobain? He plays the same 4 chorRAB in like every nirvana song.
 
That is a very informative list of great guitarist RezZ. One of the better list I've seen on a music forum. I have been in many debate's about who is the best. And the answer seems to alway's end with, 'There is no best'. Only the best of the best. As to keep myself from being attacked by others, I usually state, 'Who is your favorite guitarist'?, etc. And even then, someone will always twist & turn the word's to fit their own criteria. So..,there are just to many different style's, & level's of talent, to state one is 'the best'. We all may have our individual opinion's on who is the best, But in the end. You will find that most musician's will agree, and come to the same conclusion....Peace Brother.
 
These days? Where have you been? As soon as you bad mouth someone's favourite anything there's always a consequence. I don't understand why then don't just say "Yeah, ok, good for you," and generate some sort of sense of humour.
 
I know i know...good list though.

Out of the list I would say Jimmy page.

Everyone should hear a little Robert Johnson at least once in their lives. He is said to have sold his soul to the devil, which is why he could play the guitar so well.
 
I did name the best. I Think those 2 are equally the best. And noone had mentioned Frusciante.

I know Hendrix is considered best guitarist of all time by most, and i only dissagree to say Frusciante because hes closer to me. I was not alive in the Hendrix error so i personally feel connected more to Frusciante even if he wasnt as inventive. I still say tho he plays with more emotion than Hendrix and def Zeplin. I like guitarists that keep it simple so people can still connect to it. (btw check out the Easily solo, one of his best with 5 guitar parts)
