Posted March 1, 200916 yr I would say Hendrix is the greatest. Then the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Tommy Emmanuel(check this guy out) and Danny Gatton. Who are your favourites? Please post, cheers...
March 1, 200916 yr Hendrixxxx, + Jimmy Page are personal favourites. I'd also say Joe Perry to, but that's me just being biased and unrealistic.
March 1, 200916 yr Some of my faves SRV Hendrix BB King Carlos Santana Jimmy Page Jeff Healey (blind guitarist) Yngwie Malmsteen Angus Young (a personal fave as opposed to a technical genius) Brian May (see above) Randy Rhoads Dimebag Darrell Edited March 1, 200916 yr by B.A Baracus
March 2, 200916 yr could you be more predictable? What a pointless reply, sometimes i wonder why i post on here with the pointless members, ala you
March 2, 200916 yr What a pointless reply, sometimes i wonder why i post on here with the pointless members, ala you so your posting in THE forum i MOD in and calling ME a pointless member? sorry for calling you predictable but if i knew you were online when this thread got posted i could of easily said that you would say Johnny Marr, and you did, i also said it as a JOKE but obviously your too up your own arse to take that joke. and i also culdnt be arsed to tell you that obviously Marr is no where near the best guitarist in the world, yeah he is an alright guitarist but greatest ever and you must be living in a f***ing dream world.
March 2, 200916 yr LOL yeah saying Marr is the best guitarist ever is like saying that Frank Lampard is the greatest footballer ever, Marr is good but I certainly can not remember any breathtaking solo bits in Smiths songs
March 2, 200916 yr Marr is good but I certainly can not remember any breathtaking solo bits in Smiths songs He's good alright, but as far as Indie/Alternative goes, there were/are far more expressive guitarists with more flamboyant styles - Lee Ronaldo (Sonic Youth), J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr), Nick McCabe (The Verve), James Iha (Smashing Pumpkins), Will Sergeant (Echo and the Bunnymen), Robert Smith and John Squire (Stone Roses) are names that spring to mind..... Anyway, we all know that as far as Hard Rock goes, Hendrix, Page and Iommi are pretty much the Daddies.....
March 3, 200916 yr Eric Clapton. 'clapton is god' ..... yep back in the day clapton was regarded as 'the best', but even he payed homage to hendrix, back in early 67 he saw hendrix at a gig in london shortly after he arrived here (courtesy of chas chandler (later to manage slade) and eric burdon, both of the animals). clapton was reoprtedly in awe of hendrix " how does he do that" he is reported as saying...
March 3, 200916 yr Hendrix, Slash and Jimmy Page are my three favourites, but honourable mentions go to Dimebag Darrell, Randy Rhodes and, of course, BUCKETHEAD!
March 5, 200916 yr people need to start recognizing john mayer, the dudes a legend in the making, just youtube his blues guitar songs/solos
March 14, 200916 yr Author Thanks for the answers dudes. Clapton is very overrated in my opinion. John Mayer is decent but he plays crappy pop music. Satriani and the likes are technically amazing but make me feel nothing whatsoever. What do yous think is more important, techinical ability or just liking the way they sound?? Personally I think a balance is essential really.....
March 15, 200916 yr John Fruscante if thats how you spell his name is an amazing strat player and probably one of the best in the world at the moment.
