Best guitar player in the world?
 

http://ownagevideos.com/page.php?id=510

is he?

um... no.

But his future is bright.

Nope, not by a long shot.

Satriani isn't shaking just yet.

What about Django and Emmet? :)

But can he play the uke (aka ukulele) like a demon?

My dog hates me,
And when he pees,
He attracts fleas...

plays nice

who is he?

Not by a very long shot, he has some practice do do before he can do this:

(not the best either)

or: http://justinking.com/videos/larriveeVideo.wmv (like this one!)

but the best: http://www.aukv44.dsl.pipex.com/marioguitar.wmv

that's fake :)

I noticed he was at the wrong end of the neck for certain notes at many many times :)

Even if that was real it's nothing to be proud of.

computer effect'

i guess

that shows i have no idea

but always wanted to learn guitar

Frank Zappa... may he rest in peace ;-(

Little speed weenie had me falling asleep before the vid was half over.
No emotion, no feel, blah...

I am sorry, but this was BY FAR the best guitar video I've seen

not one of those on this page is better.

yes theres some added sounds, but I beleive he plays the solo guit in it by himself.

I dont care how fast those other guitarist go on their stick, that dude had an awesome song to play with and he did it AWESOME.

my 2 cents.

No way! there is NONE emotion in his play.. just standard guitar riffs.. BAH!

Damn about the same as i was thinking.. ..

I know "best" guitar player is a relative thing, but you're kidding right?

no I am not kidding, maybe cause it's first time I hear a metal version of that song, I dunno, but it was just AWESOME for my ears.

Emotion in the play? dude fuck that, who cares, the emotion is in the fucking music, just listen.

Maybe I'm on crack, but I loved that video saved it and I'm about to listen to it again .

Yes you are right. but NO he is not a good guitar player :-) but than again, good music is relative :-)

Maybe that's his song and it's pretty cool, but he's not actually playing that (live) in the video

probably not, but if it sounds good to you, that's all that matters. O the other hand when you look at his technique, there are a lot better guitar players, even posted in this thread...

I see well all I can play on guitar is the beginning on Metallica - One and some other metallica songs beginning, so I kinda suck and don't know what a good guitar technic is :P

What I know is that that song was a candy for my ears :-)

I remember once when Van Halen was noted as the BEST

Some of the fastest guitarists have not been the best at creating beautiful melodies. It is one thing to be fast, and quite another to create beautiful music, which often involves much more than sheer speed.

One of the legends of guitar, Eric Clapton, refers to himself as "Slow Hand". Other guitar masters such as Carlos Santana and Jeff Beck understand how to pause for feeling, and are gifted at accents and understatement.

Judging and rating guitarists really is subjective. For example my favorite guitarist, because of his inventiveness and expressiveness, is Jimi Hendrix, however Jimi was unorthodox in every way. He played left-handed, and strung his guitar upside down.

I am such a fanatic that I own the same guitar that he often played:

depends in what genre..

John McLaughlin

Stevie Ray Vaughn

I don't like the way he plays.. There's no feel to it.. boring

quick fucker... but I have a friend that is 10 times better than that (no shit). Anyway... who playes like that anymore? Its ugly! It belongs to the 80's!

yeah santana is great

Hendrix being one of my favorites.. just got some awesome DVD's a few weeks ago..but i listen to Zappa's work most of the time.. his genre reaches from jazz to rock.. reall versatile artist.. also his guitar skils are fucking awesome..

He was born in the summer of his 27th year
Comin? home to a place he?d never been before
He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
You might say he found a key for every door

When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
On the road and hangin? by a song
But the string?s already broken and he doesn?t really care
It keeps changin? fast and it don?t last for long

But the colorado rocky mountain high
I?ve seen it rainin? fire in the sky
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye
Rocky mountain high (high colorado) rocky mountain high (high colorado)

He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below
He saw everything as far as you can see
And they say he got crazy once, and he tried to touch the sun
And he lost a friend but kept his memory

Now he walks in quiet solitude the forests and the streams
Seeking grace in every step he takes
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake

And the colorado rocky mountain high
I?ve seen it rainin? fire in the sky
You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply
Rocky mountain high (high colorado) rocky mountain high (high colorado)

Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more
More people, more scars upon the land

And the colorado rocky mountain high
I?ve seen it rainin? fire in the sky
I know he?d be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
Rocky mountain high

It?s a colorado rocky mountain high
I?ve seen it rainin? fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire and everybody?s high
Rocky mountain high (high colorado) rocky mountain high (high colorado)
Rocky mountain high (high colorado) rocky mountain high do de do

John McLaughlin is truly a guitar god. He even invented a few guitars of his own design.

From his days leading the Mahavishnu Orchestra through his various other incarnations, I have always enjoyed his skill and love for the instrument.

I also have and enjoy most of Zappa's music...although he was sometimes more geared towards gimic/experimental oriented ideas than ideas purely musically inclined (remember the early "Suzy Cream Cheese" with the Mothers of Invention?), nonethless, I think his reputation and legend as a guitarist will be lasting...

Back in the late 60's-early 70's, Zappa had many interesting (and not so interesting) opening acts: Sea Train, Elvin Bishop, Sha Na Na (I used to know their manager, Ed Goodgold--his real name), etc. One interesting story was told to us by Ruth Underwood. At one point, some might remem- ber, the Mahavishnu Orchestra toured with Frank. It seems that Zappa demanded to be the main event, while John McLaughlin ALSO demanded to be the headliner! There was this running argument as to who was the bigger act, and who should be opener. Well, eventually, reluctantly, they both agreed to "trade off" each night. Ruth said this really pissed Zappa off. Also, Frank allegedly resented the fact that McLaughlin always walked around with an acoustic guitar, noodling on it everywhere he went. He practiced CONSTANTLY, which annoyed Frank, because, even though Frank was one of the greatest rock guitarists in the world, he hated to practice his guitar, and only played when on stage. It's weird to think about such an ego clash between two guitar giants. Then again, it's NOT so weird, when you think about it.

Tom Morello is my fave.

If you like this song, you should download some Steve Vai, for example Steve Vai's version of "Somewhere over the rainbow" or "Beethoven's 5th Symphony". Great stuff.

bro Stop teasing me and link me somewhere :)

this ain't a non-nude gallery, DELIVER THE CONTENT BITCH LOL :P

Suzy? Suzy cream cheese? hahaha..

Well i have listened to most of his albums and many times i was totaly lost and did not know were the fuck Zappa was going :-) but i do appreciate his experimentation very much as it learned me to actualy listen to music..

Btw.. what good drummers? Terry Bozio anyone?

Steve Vai.. he started in Zappa's band. just like Terry Bozio, Captain Beefheard and many many other legents..

Satriani? Clapton? Come on, people. Satriani is fast but blah. Eric Clapton is fairly mean but not even close to the best. Even Robbie Robertson outplayed Clapton when they stood on stage together for the Last Waltz.

I don't know if there is a "best" guitar player because there are different styles and different tastes. Here are those I would say are among the best, though:

Jimi Hendrix -Bite me, he rocked. It is in vogue these days to pretend he was overrated but that's bullshit.
Roy Buchannon - Probably my pick for "best" if I had to pick one but don't bother if you're just looking for another Hendrix clone.
Charo - No, I am not kidding. If you like Flamenco/Spanish/melodic guitar, Charo kicks mountains of ass.

Don't forget Gary Hoey if you're into guitar-rockified classics.

I'll upload some for you in a minute, hang on.

Dude Jean Larrivee where do I get more of this. That is hands down amazing!

Disclaimer: Support the artist, buy the music!

One of the best series of concerts that I ever attended featured Jeff Beck (in support of his "Blow by Blow" album), and the Mahavishnu Orchestra (in support of their "Visions of the Emerald Beyond" album).

OMG, what nights of virtuoso musicianship, from the guitarists to the keyboard players, to the drummers, and on and on. I miss that in music today.

On that tour Jeff Beck and John MClaughlin's band alternated who would be the headline act, not out of ego, but out of mutual respect. At the end of the show though, both bands would come out...and the jams they did (and yes, it was totally improvised), were ethereal...one night they did a version of "Diamond Dust" that still makes me get goosebumps and yes, even cry, when I think about it - it was that beautiful and musically majestic.
