I thought the fastest is Mr. Malmsteen

Nydahl · 06-26-2003, 07:23 AM

also - its hard to say who is the best.There are differencies between techniques/styles of each top quitar players.For example Gilmour from Pink Floyd is no top tech. player but his sound and touch of melody is execellent.
My the most favourite is Pat Metheny

Pat Metheny is definitely one of the most noted guitarists of all time for his type of music, most definitely.

jovigirl · 06-26-2003, 07:32 AM

Alessandro · 06-26-2003, 07:36 AM

another great player was Alex Skolnick . Really fast and clear player from earlier days of Testament !

Herb Kornfield · 06-26-2003, 07:39 AM

There are alot of them out there to pick the best since there are so many styles of playing.

For me personally, I love to listen to hendrix's live recordings. The man was just a genius for what he did with the tools that he had available at that time. But, I also listen to many other styles of music as well where the guitar isnt in the front and its just as funky

If you are a guitarist, check out as many people as you can and learn the riffs that catch your ear, they will all come back out in YOUR playing.

CDSmith · 06-26-2003, 07:48 AM

Manny Charlton (Nazareth) is worth a mention.

How about Nancy Wilson of Heart? Saw them in '81 at an outdoor fest, she was awesome.

With out a doubt, Stevie Ray Vaughn was the best ever.

CDSmith · 06-26-2003, 07:58 AM

I'm going to add Rik Emmett from Triumph. That dude can play.

netstarz · 06-26-2003, 08:07 AM

For technique:
Steve Morse
Eric Johnson
Paul Gilbert

For Feeling:
Brian May
Stevie Ray Vaughn

For volume:
Ted Nugent......The loudest fucking guitar player I have ever heard. 200 feet back you can hear his stage amps over the PA system.

Bex · 06-26-2003, 08:09 AM

Eddie Van Halen

Tommy Morello

JesseD · 06-26-2003, 08:09 AM

There a quite a few you don't have on your list.

I have to agree.. i lived in Austin for 10 years and I seen this man take a whole audience and make them go silent with his fantastic guitar solo's..and he played with his back to the audience when really getting into his music. On occasion I have been in a Bar where the Fab thunderbirds would be playing and SRV would show up to "jam" with brother..got pics..some great memories in Austin..

Stevie also liked to order smoothies from the restaurant inside of whole foods where i worked....He is an icon in the Austin history.

Alan Holdsworth is the sickest fusion player I have ever heard, and one of Eddie Van Halen's influences.............

Blacker · 06-26-2003, 08:21 AM

Does this include 'Air Guitar' ?

Platinum Josh · 06-26-2003, 08:21 AM

takin slash all the way too

clixx · 06-26-2003, 08:27 AM

Mark Knopfler from Dire Straits
Eric Clapton
Stevie Ray Vaughn
BB King
Muddy Waters
John Lee Hooker
Jimmy Page from Zeppelin
Santana
Bonnie Raitt
the edge from U2 (his early stuff before they turned into pop stars)

CDSmith · 06-26-2003, 08:30 AM

The blues.... gotta be BB King.

More noted rockers....

Alex Lifeson (Rush)

Wanna talk loud? Pete Townshend.

Tommy Shaw (Styx, Damn Yankees)

basschick · 06-26-2003, 08:30 AM

i don't see andres segovia or christopher parkening on this thread, but they should be here. segovia was one of the grand old men of classical guitar, and i remember hearing christopher parkening in concert when i was a teenager and being inspired beyond measure even though at the time i hated classical anything - but he went beyond all that.

i love watching michaelangelo play - i have an instructional video of his (of all things) and it's a crack up to watch. my friends watch him and say "that's done by fast forwarding the video" *LOL* that mutha is FAST!

if you live in l.a., alan holdsworth does occasional free in store performances at carvin on sunset blvd.

if you love hard crunchy guitar, pat lachman from deiselmachine and halford is pretty fucking good http://aramis.dieselmachine.net/main.html

dantheman · 06-26-2003, 08:38 AM

SRV, santana, hendix, lindsey buckingham(very fast fingers, no pick

and Eddie van halen are up on my list

Tafkap · 06-26-2003, 08:41 AM

What about Prince?

And Eric Clapton?

hitinface · 06-26-2003, 08:47 AM

You can go into every town in America and find guys who can play like there is no tomorrow.

There is no best guitar player but a lot of greats

Hitinface

ADL Colin · 06-26-2003, 08:54 AM

I'll add Al Dimeola to the list.

Stevie Ray Vaughn sounds like he sat in his room playing to Hendrix all day and all night when he was a kid.

Zach · 06-26-2003, 09:02 AM

Eric Johnson
Tim Reynolds

CDSmith · 06-26-2003, 09:10 AM

George Thorogood carved out his own niche, certainly deserves a mention here.

Joe Walsh

Joe Perry
