Ultimate Guitarist Poll

Man, this thread definitely doesn't go on forever. O wait...yea.. it does

and for the record unless someones mentioned him, Derek Trucks would be up there. hes the king of slide.
 
Anyone who thinks Dimebag is the best or even close to being the best is simply dilusional, i consider being the best a matter of technical skill, in contrast to being the greatest, which is more about importance and influence...Dimebag is not the best, he isnt one of the top 10 best, he isnt one of the top 20 best and he isnt one of the top 50 best, that is not a opinion but a standard fact, and if he hadnt died most of you probably wouldnt carry on as much, so he gets the symphathy vote...Sure the guy was a hell of a player, im a big pantera fan...But if we are talking about the best players, as in ALL PLAYERS, not just rock players but players of all genres, then Darrel would not even be close to the top, i could name a wide variety of more skilled players from rock, jazz, blues, country, flamenco and beyond.

But if we are talking about greatness, technical skill has little importance...At least when looking at the grand scheme of things. Impact and Influence is a lot more important in that regard.
 
its hard to say out of that which is the best...like they all have their own specialties...I would have said kirk just out of love for teh band he is in but in truth i believe its slash, he is pretty freaking good! But also jimi was excellent! even though half of his solos were played while he had acid in his headband lol thats godly!!!

Whats your problem?

I like Green Day, i own Dookiie and Warning...And when have i ever said a band sucked because they didnt have a lot of technical skill?
 
Whatever, your options still could have been better, then maybe your poll could have been at least almost valid, thats what you wanted isnt it?...Valid answers for a valid poll?
