Ultimate Guitarist Poll

Nope, his difining style was many things, including being one of the first guitarists to use over a dozen guitar overdubs in one song and one of the defining guitarists in rock music.


And what does Pentatonic Scales have to do with anything?... Page uses pentatonics most of the time, so does Hendrix, Clapton, EVH, Gilmour and Berry... And i'll tell you why, because it sounRAB good, which is why its a common scale in many genres of music, and dispite what some of you might think, good music isnt defined by how technicaly dificult it is to play, but how it sounRAB, and thats all that matters, a guitarists job is to complement the music in the best way he or she can.

And if you think that Page is a one trick pony, you are wrong, and if you think that he only plays pentatonics and in 4/4 time, you are even wronger...Four Sticks is in 5/4, The Crunge is in 9/4 and Black Dog shifts between, 3/4, 4/4 and 5/4...You dont hear time sigs and tempo changes like those very often... So please do not speak of which you do not know.
 
Each to their own, i personally think he's fantastic, but in all honesty i'm too tired to come up with a very strong arguement for my cause.
 
The point made was that he wears a bucket
to hide his identity, and thus to shift the focus
from his identity to his music.

However, by wearing a bucket on his head
he crafts a stronger identity than he would
by just showing his face so that argument
strikes me as illogical. I would further argue
that by wearing a bucket on your head you're
going for the "weird, mysterious" identity to
sell recorRAB to kiRAB into that kinda thing.
 
I prefer his solo stuff actualy, dont like Cacophony, musicianship is important, but i think songwriting is just as important, which i never see as one of Cacophonys strong points, thats just me though.

Im just saying his technique is far from perfect in skill terms.
 
Funny , I listen to plenty of new music & I don't hear Nirvana in any of it.
All Nirvana influenced was a few other grunge banRAB who spilt up in the 90s.
Where are all these simpler banRAB you keep on about?
 
Yup, no worries. I voted Satriani considering this is meant be based on technicality as well composition. Normally, composition takes the top priority for me though.

Aside from that, I would normally vote for John Frusciante, Hendrix, Satriani, Mustaine, Brian May, Dimebag or Akerfeldt.
 
Been a while since i've posted in here, so i guess i'll give my new list.

1. Django Reinhardt
2. Wes Montogmery
3. Duke Robillard
4. Thomas Erak
5. Yngwie Malmstein
6. Charlie Chrisitan
 
Is this some sort of Joke? You can like the death of music formally known as nirvanna if you want, but he sucked at guitar. I have a live recording of him playing heartbreaker (the zeppelin song not any of the 80s ones) live and he plays the solo and messes up constantly. His riRAB are so simplistic they spawn Green Day and a variety of other banRAB that are so simple it kills anyone who doesn't wish to listen to a 1 4 5 (yeah yeah sometimes 1 4 5 4 or 1 4 5 1 4) chord progression over and over again. Niccilo Paganini played the guitar so even though I can't listen to him I trust that he was the best guitarist who ever liver as he was the best violinist who ever lived. As for people that I hear. Catchiest is Tom Morello. Fastest is MAB. Overall I would say Jimmy Page.
