    Best guitar players?

    I've played for over 15 years and I have alot of favorite players such as...

    Eric Johnson
    Gary Moore
    Joe Satriani
    Steve Vai
    Paul Gilbert
    Steve Morse
    Stevie Ray Vaughn
    Eddie Van Halen
    Randy Rhodes
    Zakk Wylde
    Richie Sambora
    Slash

    etc, etc, etc...

    But the one player that takes it to another level in my opinion is George Lynch. The guy doesn't know shit about music theory but can play like nobody else.



    Very fluid off the cuff style that anyone can tell right away if you know guitar. The guy just rocks it out.

    Your thoughts?

        SRV, man, SRV. Eddie Van Halen's good too but Jimmy Page is definitely up there.

              Nuno is great too but IMO not as good as the others on my list. He didn't really do anything new... just was very good

                    George Harrison


                    Speaking of guitar greats/legends; Just seen Eric Clapton tonight at Miami Airlines...
                    very solid performance, he's got an amazing bass player. And needless to say about his guitar skills.

                        Agreed. But back when he was sober he definitely was a guitar player not to be fucked with.

                          I don't like James Hetfield's or Kirk Hammett's indivdual style persay but when they are both playing harmonizing parts, I think it's pretty tough to beat

                            If you like harmonized playing you should check out Paul Gilbert and Bruce Bouillet in Racer X.... crazy stuff.

                                    If you had seen Clapton with the Cream playing last year you would be revising your list.

                                    But then any list like this one that does not put Hendrix at number one is pretty silly. There was never and has never been anyone to replace or imitate him.

                                    Page and Clapton tie for second place. Go listen to some of what they did and in Claptons case still do.

                                      Lynch for his playing style..... tell me you can't here him instantaly. His vibrato, note selection, etc....

                                      Sambora... he knows how to play for the song but can make it his own.

                                      If Eric Clapton says "I'll play on your cd" then he must be doing something right.

                                      I'm not saying Richie is the best, but he knows how to play and make it work

                                              Come on, seriously....Slash and Sambora? You mention those two in the same sentence as SRV? Not even close.

                                              What about real players like John Petrucci of Dream Theater or Allan Holdsworth?

                                                      I've been playing for about 8 years now and there are so many great players that influenced my style and just that I enjoy listening to. Some of my favorites are... (in no particular order)

                                                      Jimi Hendrix
                                                      Stevie Ray Vaughan
                                                      Eric Clapton
                                                      Carlos Santana
                                                      Jimmy Page
                                                      Angus Young
                                                      Duane Allman
                                                      Van Halen
                                                      Tony Iommi
                                                      Pete Townshend
                                                      Slash
                                                      Hetfield and Hammett

                                                      Some players I think are pretty under rated...

                                                      Neal Schon (I mean he played with Santana when he was 16 years old)
                                                      John Fogerty
                                                      Joe Walsh
                                                      Ritchie Blackmore
                                                      Billy Gibbons



                                                      **** Hey Ice, just curious if you ever got one of those Les Pauls you were checking out. I had to sell my '79 LP Standard today so I'm pretty bummed right now...

So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

                                                                                              Sambora... he knows how to play for the song but can make it his own.

                                                                                              If Eric Clapton says "I'll play on your cd" then he must be doing something right.

                                                                                              I'm not saying Richie is the best, but he knows how to play and make it work

                                                                                              he isnt taking shit anywhere and what hes doing has already been done.

                                                                                              once again look at my list and LISTEN to the LEVEL they have taken it to.

                                                                                              the level being one that was uncharted and never done before.

                                                                                              - and clapton will play on anyones fucking album.

                                                                                                Cliche answer. Hendrix did some good shit. But no. I'm sorry.... I'm SICK of seeing Hendrix as number one on all these guitar polls.

                                                                                                Slash is my fave.

Meaning... how can someone say Hendrix is the BEST, when MY favorite is not Hendrix. That means Hendrix ISN'T the best ... otherwise everyone in the world would agree.

                                                                                                I've played guitar for 13 years and I know my playing. I just think the 'best' is down to each person's taste and reasons.

                                                                                                Oh well.
