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. http://www.dokken.net/photos/oldmemb...ge/lynch15.jpg Very fluid off the cuff style that anyone can tell right away if you know guitar. The guy just rocks it out. Your thoughts? |
I like Randy Rhodes & Stevie Ray Vaughn myself.
This Kid is pretty good... https://youtube.com/watch?v=IP8Y8yiOoaM |
Yngwie Malmsteen sober.
Randy Rhodes. |
SRV, man, SRV. Eddie Van Halen's good too but Jimmy Page is definitely up there.
|
well again (many times same question been asked)
nuno betterncourt (from extreme) and phil X ... :) |

It's hard for me to decide.. Can I choose all of them? I don't wanna be a bias for this hehe.

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. |

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

GEORGE LYNCH? takes it to another level :1orglaugh and RITCHIE SAMBORA? :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh *********** these guys are the most influential and most copied players in rock, wether for their style, sound or songs. iomi van halen page beck clapton hendrix dimebag rhodes hettfeild the rest are IMITATORS NOT INOVATORS. well ok maybe vai and slash is really good too. |
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. |

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 :2 cents: |
Re
Come on guys...Jimmy Hendricks, Eric Clapton, Santana...
|
angus gets no love?
|
David Gilmour could atleast earn a mention
|
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? |
dimebag darrell is the best for me...

OPM rock rulez!:thumbsup |
Yeah he's one of my favorites too
|
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... |
John Mclaughlin just the best
|
Keith Richards...
|
John Petruci
Steve Vai Stevie Ray Vaughan Joe Satriani Paul Gilbert Eddie Van Halen Robert Johnson Paco de Lucia Jimi Hendrix Carlos Santana Yngwie Malmsteen are a few that come to my mind :winkwink: |
Quote:
|
Jimmy Page
Jerry Garcia |
Joe Satriani
|
I've played for 15 years as well... but most inspired from Jimmy Page and Slash
|
Slash is a fan of George Lynch. His longtime guitar tech, Adam Day, worked for George before Slash hired him.
|
|
Billy Gibbons is still my favorite, making a 3 guy band sound like so much more!!
|
Add
Edge (U2) Peter Buck (REM) Ottmar Liebert (Flamenco style) |

Clapton:thumbsup
|
this list could go on and on, so many great players. :) Especially if you open it up to players other than rock/blues
Lynch has own "sound" for sure. |
Brent Mason & Dan Huff.
|
Most of the obvious guys have already been mentioned..
But if you want to listen to some real innovators..checkout Craig Chaquico and Tommy Emmanuel. |

Kerry King
Scott Ian Roland Grapow Jeff Waters Dave Mustaine (not the best, but I love his style and compositions) yes, they are all metal guitar players... not metal: Paco de Lucia John Mc Laughlin Ritchie Blackmore Steve Vai Joe Satriani Eddie Van Halen |
joe satriani and steve vai

"takes it to another level" style? - what hes doing is copying the van halen style. 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. (im not saying lynch isnt a good player, he is but the dudes i listed really took it to another level):thumbsup |

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. Hendrix can suck cock as far as Slash playing goes. Why? Because Slash is MY favorite. 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. |

Slash would punch you in the fucking face for making such an obscene, stupid statement. |
