Who's your favorite guitarist?

[*§ilen†Prå¥er]

Mine is Jimmy Page and all three from Iron Maiden.

 

[inbetween]

Wow, you deserve a award for even knowing who knopfler is, not enough people do, his picking on Sultans of Swing = Sublime.

 

[Mark Tame]

Wow aren't you super metal now.

^^ a technical genious, but from the list id go with Clapton, not on the list id have to say SRV or Dick Dale

 

[In God we trust.]

^ What's wrong with Dimebag?

 

[mekp]

some of you dont put what band the guitarist is from id like to know thank you.

 

[coldfieldgirl]

My nuraber 1 favorite would probably be Hendrix or Page, followed by Gilmour, May, Santana, EVH, Howe, Fripp, Morello, countless others.

 

[MTA]

Nice pick, very underrated guitarist.

 

[Beau C]

Nothing its just the fact hes not as good as a guitarist as everyone makes him out to be.

He is good but ever since he died hes being put along side hendrix and vai and i think its bullshit.

SRV
Kirk Hammet
Angus Young
Dime

hendrix - a genius

i also like syd barrets guitar playing, its not impressive technically but its full of passion - especially on his solo albums

 

[Scooper]

Dimebag was a fecking legend... But yeah, as always, death spins stuff outta control. Doesnt make him not good though

 

[cute.stuff_8391]

Feels like we have at least a 100 of these threaRAB, but anyway...
My favourite guitarplayer is Jimi still. "Voodoo Chile", "Castles Made Of Sand", "1983... (A Merman I Should Turn To Be)"...
He's awesome.
But I like Mark Knopfler too. Saw him live. I mean, he's 56 now and he played that solo of "Sultans Of Swing" like hell. Damn. I was staring at his fingers all the time.

 

[tacitus]

Aside from the beer and the metal cred mandatory mention of Dime, i'd say this is the most intelligent post you've made.

 

[afwueil]

David Gilmour of Pink Floyd
Brian May of Queen
EVH aka Eddie Van Halen of Van Halen
Steve Howe of Yes
Robert Fripp of King Crimson
Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine
Carlos Santana of uh Santana

 

[sydneyhayes]

I love the way this guy plays. After all I've said, I won't deny him. I was listening to Metallica on the way home today, The Unforgiven was playing, the solo in this is fantastic.

 

[Denni]

I think Zakk Wylde deserves a mention, even though he's a moron, he can still play damn well. Get Soil- Halo live at Ozzfest 2002 feat. Zakk Wylde, the solo will blow you away.

 

[Dani394]

well erm...Joey Jordison of Murderdolls (although he is the drummer in Slipknot)

 

[Michael Jackson Lover]

Im not saying he wasn't good he just wasn't "OMFG AMAZINGNSFGSDF" like everyones played him out to be.
