May 8, 200421 yr Who do you guys think is the best guitarist ever?My pick: Eddy Van HalenMy proof: Rendition of "You Really Got Me" 1:45 of pure guitar ownage intro of DOOMPost thoughts. :idea:
May 8, 200421 yr Jimmy hendrix is top for all round greatness, Eric clapton is the BEST blues guitarist ever without a doubt.Steve how, Yes, just a great original guitarist.there are my top 3, unfortunatly its impossible to put them in ranked order cause they were good at different things,
May 8, 200421 yr Jimmy hendrix. And proof watch any live concert of him. U start crying right there on the spot.
May 8, 200421 yr without any hesitation : Jimmy hendrix jimmy hendrix? i've never liked this guy- i thought he is famous because of his eccentric way of life (and death)... i've never liked him until i've listened carefully to 'Hey Joe' and heard 'All Along The Watchtower' for the first time... :o YEAH!! :o :o :o That was awesome! i've stopped to think of him as of an addict and started to appreciate his guitar skills... No. 2 is Gene Wright (yeah! bass guitar!!!) from The Dave Brubeck Quartet and No. 3 is Pat Metheny (very, very skillful but sometimes he plays like he'd like to outplay himself and it sounds weird).
May 9, 200421 yr ClaptonSatrianiVaiOften overlooked but innovative and talented-Jimmy PageBut Hendrix above them all, when watching him play its as if the guitar is an extension of his body/hands/arms.
May 9, 200421 yr Best Rock- Jimmy HendrixBest Classical- Tommy EmmanuelBest Pop/Swing- Brian SetzerBest Jazz- Pat MathenyBest All Round- Steve HoweHonorable Mention- Steve Hacket
May 9, 200421 yr Actually, not me i lied lololololhendrix, santana.... best newer guitarist is ian from billy talent imo
May 9, 200421 yr I think that the best newer guitarist is Tom Morello, i noticed that no one mentioned him here. If u listen to his songs u will go crazy with the complexity yet simple tunes from his guitar
May 9, 200421 yr Jo Satriani, Alvin Lee, Jimmy Hendrix and all others Guitar Heroes I don't know. You may not like them, but you can't tell they aren't the bests guitarists. It's very hard to say who of all is the best, they all do greats things ! They all deserve to be Guitar Heroes.
May 9, 200421 yr I dunno best, but I should mention these great guys: SLASH (Sweet Child of Mine intro is the #1 intro ever!) BRIAN MAY (who is alive and kicking, thank you) from Queen JUSTIN and DAN HAWKINS - The Darkness ROCK! I mean R O C K !These guys are born 25 years too late But it's a good thing, you know. Peace. Bane
May 9, 200421 yr Actually, not me i lied lolololol hendrix, santana.... best newer guitarist is ian from billy talent imo Billy Talent is a punk band. People form punk bands because they suck at playing real music, as well playing instruments. Therefore it is an impossiblity for someone from a punk band to be labeled "best" at anything; aside from being best worst guitar player.
